Pokemon Sun and Moon are the entries that kicked off the seventh generation of the Pokemon franchise. The duology was released as part of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. These titles are considered fan favorites because they weren’t afraid to play around with the formula of Pokemon that some would argue has become stagnant. However, it was a one-step forward, two-steps back situation as the biggest criticism of these titles is their lack of post-game content.

Pokemon Sun/Moon Premise
Pokemon Sun and Moon ditch the chibi art style of its predecessors for more realistic portions. Players can also customize their trainer’s appearance in ways never seen before these titles. Also, these titles were the first in the series to be available in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. One of the biggest changes is the powerful new Z-Moves. These moves can only be used once but can easily turn the tide of battle.

Secrets
Infinite money
This exploit requires access to the Battle Royale Dome by completing the third Island Trial. Then, enter the Thrifty Megamart on the right side of the Battle Royale Dome on Akala Island. You can get a 50% off coupon at the door. Go to the vendor (lady in red) that sells Poke Balls and buy them in 10 increments. For each purchase of 10 Poke Balls, you will get a free Premier Ball. Once you are out of Poke Dollars, sell all the Poke Balls to get all your money back with the help of the coupon you acquired earlier. You will still get to keep the Premier Balls you obtained, even after selling the Poke Balls. Sell the Premier Balls for 10 Poke Dollars to obtain an unlimited amount of Poke Dollars. Note: To make the process quicker, press Right on the D-pad to auto-select 11 Poke Balls.
Easy XP
Any Pokemon that you have acquired through a trade will get an extra 50% XP. Trade all of your Pokemon away and then back again with someone you can trust to get an instant increase in XP.
Using Pokemon Refresh, any Pokemon with two out of five hearts filled in the Affection meter will gain 20% extra XP. To increase the Affection stat quickly, use Poke Pelago and shake the tree in Isle Abeens daily. Use the Rainbow Beans and feed them to your star Pokemon. Depending on your Pokemon, you may gain multiple hearts with a single Rainbow Bean.
Complete the game by defeating the Elite Four and becoming Alola Champion. Then, return to Route 1 and visit Professor Kukui’s Lab on the beach. If you have 50+ Pokemon in your Pokedex, talk to Professor Kukui to get the Lucky Egg item. The Lucky Egg is a held item that gives a 50% XP boost to the Pokemon holding it.
Easy Happiness
To easily raise Happiness for a Pokemon, collect or purchase two TMs. Make sure both TMs can be learned by the Pokemon you want to increase the Happiness. Replace one move with a TM. Select a move you do not mind losing for now —- you can relearn the abilities afterward. Use the second TM to replace the first TM. Replace the second TM with the first TM. Keep repeating this for 5-10 minutes to max out Happiness. You can use this exploit to evolve a Pokemon with the Happiness evolution requirement easily.
Easily prevent evolutions
Most Pokemon evolve once they reach a certain level requirement. However, to prevent a Pokemon from evolving, during the Evolution animation, hold B to stop the evolution. The Pokemon will evolve at the next possible level-up if all requirements/conditions are met. Normally, Everstones (which are rare) were the only way to stop an evolution in previous Pokemon games. They are still available in Pokemon Sun/Moon. For example, you can get one by defeating Ilima in his house in Hau’oli City. Ilima, the Trial Captain, goes home after you defeat the Melemele Island Kahuna.
Easy Shiny Pokemon
Pokemon Sun/Moon generates Pokemon eggs and their contents before you even begin hatching. Use the following steps to pre-generate a Shiny Pokemon. You will first need the following Pokemon and items:
Pokemon
Ditto (foreign): Enter GTS and trade for a Ditto with a name in any foreign language (Japanese is best). Foreign means any non-North American Ditto in GTS. Note: Be aware of 5/6 IV Japanese Ditto, as these are most likely hacked Pokemon. Hacked Pokemon will not work for this method.
Magikarp: Any Magikarp will work. They are common in any body of water in Alola.
Goal Pokemon: The “Goal” Pokemon is the species you want to generate a shiny for, which can be any Pokemon.
The foreign Ditto is the most important part of this process. You must have a foreign, un-hacked Ditto. There are other ways to do this method, but using a foreign Ditto is by far the easiest.
Items
Destiny Knot: Equip it on the foreign Ditto. It can be purchased for 48 BP at the fourth counter in the Battle Royale Dome.
Everstone: Equip on the “Goal” Pokemon. It is given by Ilima after re-battling him in the large house in Hau’oli City. It is also available for purchase for 16 BP at the second counter in the Battle Royale Dome.
Shiny Charm (optional): It is only needed if you do not use a foreign Ditto. It is given by the Game Director in Heahea City after completing the Alola Region Pokedex (excluding Mythical Pokemon).
Then, go to the Hatchery, wait outside at the ranch, and use the following steps to breed a Shiny Pokemon:
1. Save your game.
2. Deposit the foreign Ditto with the Destiny Knot equipped into the Nursery, then deposit Magikarp.
3. Run in circles to generate eggs. Collect 25-50 eggs. Enter the enclosed fence across the path from the nursery entrance, and spin while riding Tauros to quickly generate eggs. You can generate as many as you desire. It is recommended to generate at least 30 to improve your chances of finding a Shiny.
4. Remove one of the Pokemon from the nursery to stop eggs from spawning. This is just a safety precaution. If you continue to generate eggs, you may pre-generate an IV/Shiny/Nature you want that you will miss.
5. Hatch all of the eggs you just collected. Spin with Tauros in the fenced area to quickly begin hatching.
6. If you found a Shiny, continue to the next step. If you did not, repeat steps 1-5.
7. Take note of the egg that hatched into a Shiny. For example, Egg #21 since your last save hatched into a Shiny Pokemon.
8. Reset your 3DS without saving. This is very important.
9. Return to the Nursery and deposit Ditto and your “Goal” Pokemon. Make sure Ditto is holding the Destiny Knot, and your “Goal” Pokemon has an Everstone equipped.
10. Collect eggs up to the number where you hatched a Shiny with Magikarp, which is Egg #21 in our example. For genderless or single-gender Pokemon, add +1 to your number. For example, for a genderless or single-gender Pokemon, hatch Egg #22 instead of #21.
11. Finally, hatch the egg (for example, Egg #21) to get the desired Shiny Pokemon. Note: When breeding Pokemon, simply refuse the eggs from the Nursery you do not want until you get the right egg with the Shiny Pokemon.
Easy Pikachu
Go to Hau’oli City after your first trial when Pokemon can call for help. Enter the fenced area across from the mall. Walk around in that grass until you run into a Pichu. Note: Set another Pichu or Pikachu with Static as the first member of your party to increase the odds of a Pichu appearing. This is best done in the area on Route 1 where Pichu spawns, as this does not also have a Magnemite. Stall the battle until Pichu calls for help. Get the Pichu to low HP to increase the rate of it calling for help. The Pokemon it calls for help will either be Pikachu, Pichu, or Happiny. It calls Pikachu 4/7 of the time, another Pichu 2/7 of the time, and Happiny 1/7 of the time. If it is Pikachu, K.O. the Pichu and catch the Pikachu. If it is Pichu or Happiny, K.O. the new Pichu or Happiny and stall the battle again until Pichu calls for help and it is Pikachu.
Oval Charm
Complete the game by defeating the Elite Four and becoming Alola Champion. Then, visit the Game Freak building and defeat Morimoto to get the Oval Charm, which substantially boosts the rate at which eggs appear at the Pokemon Nursery.
Shiny Charm
Complete the Alola Pokedex. Then, speak with the Game Director in Heahea City to get the Shiny Charm, which triples the rate Shiny Pokemon are found in the game.
Getting Alolan Dugtrio
It can take quite a bit of time to find an Alolan Dugtrio in the game. A quicker method is to just catch a Diglett and evolve it into a Dugtrio. Diglett can be found on the first island. It can be found in the cave where you do your first trial. You first have to complete the trial before you can catch any Pokemon in that cave. You can also find Diglett in the cave next to the Pokemon Lab on the island. You need to be able to ride a Taurus to break the rocks to enter it. After you catch Diglett, level it up. Diglett will evolve into Dugtrio at Level 26 — so you need to use it quite a bit. You can also use some Rare Candies on it to level it up quicker. The “Exp All” does help level it up much quicker if you do not want to use it. If you do not want to level up Diglett, you will have to wait until the third island. You can catch it there and on the fourth island, but that is further into the game.
Getting Alolan Vulpix
Vulpix is one of the exclusive Pokemon in Pokemon Sun. The only way to obtain it in Pokemon Moon is by trading for it. To get Vulpix, you have to get pretty far into the game. You can find Vulpix on Mount Lanakila, north of Route 14 on Ula’ula Island. That area is under construction until later in the game. After completing the final trial, you can return to Mount Lanakila and take the elevator up. When you reach the top, search the grass to eventually see Vulpix appear. Vulpix is pretty common — so you should not have to spend too much time looking for one. Once you have Vulpix, you can evolve it into Ninetails by using an Ice Stone on it. Vulpix is just an Ice type, but Ninetails is an Ice and Fairy type. When you evolve Vulpix into Ninetails, it can also immediately learn Dazzling Gleam.
Getting Cosmog
Complete the main quest and defeat all four Island Kahunas to become the Alola Champion. Go back to the Altar Of The Sunne. Enter the Portal at the Altar, then go to the Lake Of The Moone. Go to the platform at the top of the lake to initiate a cutscene. Cosmog will join your party. Note: You can only get one Cosmog per playthrough.
Getting Eevee
You cannot catch Eevee until you reach the second island. You will get a mission early while on the second island to go to a Pokemon Ranch. On the way to the Pokemon Ranch, you can find Eevee spawns right before the town, near the ranch. However, it is rare for them to spawn. You can also find them on the other side of the map, on Route 5 coming down from the ranch. Eevees will often call for extra help — so be prepared for that. You can evolve Eevee into multiple different forms.
Getting Grumpig
Note: This Pokemon requires Update 1.1. Open the Rotom Pokedex and choose the “QR Scanner” selection. Scan the following QR code. Then, go to any Pokecenter to obtain Grumpig.
Getting Magearna
Note: Before you can unlock Magearna, you must defeat the Elite Four and become Alola Champion. Then, open the Rotom Pokedex and choose the “QR Scanner” selection. Scan the following QR code. Next, travel to Hau’oli City on Melemele Island and go to the Antiquities Of The Ages shop to obtain the mythical Magearna. Magearna is a unique Steel/Fairy dual-type Pokemon that is completely mechanical and artificial. It is also the only currently known Pokemon that can learn the Fleur Cannon special move.
Getting Necrozma (Legendary)
Necrozma (Psychic type) is the final Pokemon available to capture in Pokemon Sun And Moon. To capture Necrozma, first defeat the Elite Four and become Alola Champion. Next, complete all Ultra Beast quests for the Looker. Then, go to Ten Karat Hill on Melemele Island. Break through the boulders using the Tauros Ride HM and enter Farthest Hollow. Necrozma spawns in the grassy field in the back-left corner where Rockruffs naturally appear. There is a very low chance that Necrozma will appear, but you can do the following things to increase the chances it will appear:
- Use Super Repel to keep low-level Rockruffs from bothering you while you try to get Necrozma to spawn.
- Always keep running, or ride on Tauros and charge in circles. The faster you move, the more likely you are to enter into a random battle.
- Do not put Pokemon over Level 75 on your team. Necrozma is a Level 75 Pokemon, and will not spawn if you have Level 75+ Pokemon.
The Pokemon in Ten Karat Hill are Level 10+ at best — so Super Repel will prevent low-level Rockruffs from bothering you as you circle the grass, and only Necrozma will appear for a battle. Once it does, use the following tips to catch it:
- Necrozma is the hardest Pokemon to catch in the game. Save the Master Ball for this battle to make it much easier to catch it.
- If you do not have a Master Ball, buy a large quantity of Ultra Balls. It may require over a dozen attempts, but the Ultra Ball will eventually capture Necrozma.
- Do not use Beast Balls. Necrozma is not an Ultra Beast. Thus, Beast Balls will lower your chances of catching Necrozma.
- Bring Pokemon that are about Level 60+ to have a fair fight with Necrozma.
- Use ground-type special moves against Necrozma to weaken it. Necrozma is a Psychic type and uses Iron Defense to precisely increase its defense.
- Once you have weakened Necrozma, use Yawn/Hypnosis or other moves to make it fall asleep as you attempt to catch it.
Getting Sungaleo
Get Cosmog, then evolve it. Cosmog will evolve into Cosmoem at Level 43, and Cosmoem will evolve into Sungaleo at Level 53. Sungaleo is a Psychic/Steel type.
Rare aquatic Pokemon locations
Defeat the Wishiwashi Totem Pokemon on Akala Island to get the Fishing Rod. Then, go to the indicated fishing spot to catch the corresponding aquatic Pokemon. Make sure to bring lots of Pokeballs when fishing. For better results, save Lure Balls (given by Samson Oak on Blush Mountain) to increase your chances of catching Wild Pokemon while fishing. Unfortunately, these Pokeballs are not available to purchase — so use Lure Balls wisely. Alternatively, you can use Dive Balls which increases your catch rate versus water-type Pokemon while swimming or fishing. Those are sold for $1,000 each. Note: Pokemon will only appear at fishing spots with bubbles. You can reset the fishing spot by leaving and re-entering.
Barboach: Enter Seaward Cave from Melemele Meadow on Melemele Island (enter the small hole south as you enter the yellow field of flowers). Once you are inside, go left to the small pond of water. Jump onto Lapras to find the single fishing spot. There is a 50% encounter chance. Barboach is a water/ground dual type that evolves into a Whiscash at Level 30. Getting Whiscash is the main reason to catch this Pokemon.
Bruxish: On Route 13 on Ula’ula Island, enter the trailer park from Tapu Village, and proceed down the path south from the oasis in the center. Down on the coast, travel right from the old man, and right of the Trainer Tips sign, to see the fishing location. There is a 20% encounter chance. Bruxish is a water/psychic dual type that can also be found on the Secluded Shore, or on Route 14 and Route 15.
Chinchou: Search for the two fishing spots on the east coast of the Akala Outskirts area on Akala Island, near a fisherman. Go to the more northern of the two fishing spots to get this Pokemon. There is a 20% encounter chance. Chinchou is a water/electric dual type that evolves into Lanturn at Level 27.
Corsola: Start from Hau’oli City beach on Melemele Island, and use Lapras to swim southeast in the Melemele Sea to a cave entrance blocked by boulders that only Sharpedo can break. To the left of the cave entrance is a fishing hole. There is a 20% encounter chance. Corsola is a water/rock dual type that does not evolve into any new forms. To easily reset the spot, simply use a Sharpedo to bust into the nearby Ten Karat Hill cave.
Dhelmise: In Seafolk Village on Poni Island, enter the Steelix houseboat and go through the lower door to the porch/balcony exterior with a view of the fishing spot. You have to coax it from its hiding spot in Seafolk Village. There is a 10% encounter chance. Dhelmise is a grass/ghost type that does not evolve.
Dratini: There is one fishing spot straight ahead after entering Poni Meadow from Poni Plains on Poni Island. There is a 10% encounter chance. Dratini is the first form of Dragonair. Dragonite is a dragon type introduced in Gen 1. It is a pseudo-legendary Pokemon, but it is powerful and grows in strength quickly.
Feebas: Just as you enter Brooklet Hill on Melemele Island, go down the ramp to the bridge. Jump onto Lapras and ride south to find the fishing spot that is only accessible from the water. There is a 10% encounter chance. Feebas evolves into Milotic when traded while holding a Prism Scale.
Lapras: In Poni Wilds on Poni Island (west of the Seafolk Village), there is a 5% you will encounter Lapras while swimming in the water to the left of the beach. This is not a fishing location. Lapras is an ice/water dual type that does not evolve. Lapras is most well known for its Swim HM ability, helping trainers easily cross water. Lapras can still transport trainers with the Poke Ride system.
Mareanie: This Pokemon is found in the same fishing spot as Corsola. Typically, Corsola will summon Mareanie when it calls for help. The encounter chance is unknown. Mareanie is a water/poison dual type that evolves into Toxapex and becomes much deadlier.
Relicanth: On the beach in Poni Wilds on Poni Island, locate the final trainer (the Dancer) and walk directly left. Ride Lapras to the first fishing spot directly left (and slightly below) that trainer. There is a 10% encounter chance. Relicanth is an ancient water/rock dual type that does not evolve.
Sharpedo: It is found just south of the entrance to the Ruins Of Hope on Poni Breaker Coast on Poni Island. There is a 10% encounter chance. Sharpedo is a brutal/dark dual type that evolves into Carvanha at Level 30 and has a Mega form when equipped with Sharpedonite. Note: To get Carvanha without using Wonder Trade, breed Sharpedo.
Shellder: Exit Seaward Cave to reach Kala’e Bay on Melemele Island. Just as you exit the cave, use the fishing spot north near the shore. You will not need to use Lapras to reach this spot. There is a 20% encounter chance. Shellder evolves into Cloyster with a Water Stone.
Wishiwashi: This Pokemon is found in the same fishing spot as Chinchou. There is a 30% encounter chance. Wishiwashi unlocks the Schooling ability at Level 20. In School form, Wishiwashi joins up with a horde, turning the swarm into one giant fish school body. It changes the look of the Pokemon while in its new body. Wishiwashi does not evolve.
All Eevee evolutions
Complete the indicated requirement(s) to evolve Eevee into the corresponding form:
Espeon and Umbreon: This evolution requires you to increase Eevee’s Happiness to around 220. Evolve Eevee during the daytime to get Espeon or during nighttime to get Umbreon.
Flareon: This evolution requires a Fire Stone. It can be purchased for 3,000 at Olivia’s Shop in KoniKoni City on Akala Island, or from Poke Pelago. Alternatively, one can be found in the hot rock located on the northwest edge of the Tunnel Of Diglett. Note: Tauros is required to reach it.
Glaceon: Have Eevee in your party and go to Lush Jungle, which is located near Route 8 on Akala Island. You can fly there to save time. Once you are inside Lush Jungle, find the frozen rock that is covered with ice and can easily freeze you. Interact with the rock to get a notification. After you have interacted with the ice-covered rock, explore until you encounter a wild Pokemon. Once you have defeated the Pokemon, your Eevee will level up a few times (if it was a lower-level Eevee), and you will automatically get the Glaceon Eevee evolution. Note: You must level up your Eevee after interacting with the ice-covered rock to get the evolution. You can either do that by battling wild Pokemon or using an item.
Jolteon: This evolution requires a Thunder Stone. It can be purchased for 3,000 at Olivia’s Shop in KoniKoni City on Akala Island. Alternatively, one can be found at the backside of the Fossil Restoration Center on Route 8.
Leafeon: Have Eevee at your party and go to Lush Jungle, which is located near Route 8 on Akala Island. You can fly there to save time. Once you are inside Lush Jungle, find the green moss/slimy rock. Interact with the rock to get a notification that it is covered in moss. After you have interacted with the large moss-covered rock, explore until you encounter a wild Pokemon. Once you have defeated the Pokemon, your Eevee will level up a few times (if it was a lower-level Eevee), and you will automatically get the Leafeon Eevee evolution. Note: You must level up your Eevee after interacting with the moss-covered rock to get the evolution. You can either do that by battling wild Pokemon or using an item.
Sylveon: This evolution requires you to teach your Eevee a Fairy-type move and get it to two hearts. Then, Eevee will evolve into Sylveon when it levels up.
Vaporeon: This evolution requires a Water Stone. It can be purchased for 3,000 at Olivia’s Shop in KoniKoni City on Akala Island.
All Ultra Beast locations
To capture Ultra Beasts, defeat the Elite Four, and become Alola Champion to begin accepting Ultra Beast missions from the Looker NPC. Ultra Beasts can only be captured with special Beast Pokeballs, given by the Looker. The Looker gives you ten Beast Balls after defeating his partner Anabel in a duel, then sends you to collect the next numbered Ultra Beast. Go to the indicated location to begin the corresponding Ultra Beast quest. Then, search the listed area to find the corresponding Ultra Beast.
