Before it starts, you even get a Pokémon catching tutorial with Professor Kukui! Sadly, you won’t get to keep any Pokémon you catch, so you might not want to take too much time doing this. Catching three or more earns you a Nugget. Using a set selection of Poké Balls you get, catch as many Pokémon with those balls as you can. You might choose to instead go east from the base of the area - you’ll need to smash the path open with your Tauros - to play the Pokémon Catching Challenge. Beat her to earn a Star Piece - but be careful, as she has a Level 42 Pikachu in her party, so be sure to heal up before challenging her. Once you do so, the Ace Trainer at the start of the road will challenge you to a battle. Battle three of the Trainers around the beach area - this includes the Youngster who you see in the main part of the demo. On the same day, some new Trainers will appear on the path to Ten Carat Hill. While it seems he might have something else, subsequent visits will make him comment on it while not having anything to actually give. A self-named “mysterious old man” will greet you at the top and give you 3 Stardusts, which you can transfer to your copy of Sun and Moon. Call Tauros using the Ride Pager and break the rocks to reach the top. This woman will take you to Mahalo Trail. Day 1įrom the first day after completing the demo, various NPCs will appear around Hau’oli City.

Check out our preview article for the spoiler-free lowdown. If you don’t want these spoiled to you, know that something happens on day 1, 4, 6, 13, 19 and 25. These time-based events occur from the first play-through after you’ve completed the main part of the demo (so, the day you receive your Ride Pager). Some of these events come with bonus items too, which you can transfer into the full game! Read on to find out what they are and what you’ll get from them. We’ve touched on the fact that the demo has various little time-based events that happen depending on the day you play.

The Pokémon Sun and Moon demo is chock full of secrets - ones that unlock when you play, and data that you could never see without data mining.
