The official Pokémon Global Link has announced that Global Missions will be returning for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and have also announced a schedule for the upcoming missions. The first Global Mission: Catch a lot of Pokémon! will take place from November 17th, 2017 until November 28th, 2017. Trainers must collectively catch 10,000,000 Pokémon to reach the goal.

Global Missions Begin Anew

Global missions return with the launch of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon! The first global mission is now active: “Catch a lot of Pokémon!” The goal is for all Trainers to collectively catch 10,000,000 Pokémon by November 28, 2017. If the goal is reached, every participant will receive 2,000 Festival Coins as a reward. Even if the goal isn’t reached, everyone will get a participation prize of 1,000 Festival Coins. Trainers who have registered their game at the Pokémon Global Link by the end of the global mission will receive double the number of Festival Coins, so be sure to sign up today.

Start catching as many Pokémon as you can for the “Catch a lot of Pokémon!” global mission now!

How to Participate in Global Missions

Band together with your fellow Trainers in global missions: limited-time events where everyone tries to meet a collective goal. If the goal is met, everyone who participated gets a global mission reward! Don’t worry if the goal isn’t reached—you can count on a global mission participation prize for everyone who chipped in.

Follow these steps to join the global mission:
1. Enter Festival Plaza in Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon by selecting it in your in-game menu, which you’ll find by pressing the X Button.
2. Enter Festival Plaza’s central castle.
3. Speak to the global mission receptionist on the right and let her know you want to participate in the global mission.
4. Remember to return before the mission ends to sync your game to add to the global count! Once you’ve joined the global mission, talk to the receptionist to have your progress sent to the Pokémon Global Link. Also, if you’ve registered your game to a PGL account, simply connecting to the internet while in Festival Plaza will cause your game to sync automatically, sending your progress to the server.

How to check your progress toward the global goal

Talk to the receptionist to check on the overall progress toward the goal and to update your own progress as well. You can also check on the progress by visiting the home page of the Pokémon Global Link.
