Starting the Mission

Moomoo Ranch farmhouse / Pokémon Unbound
Moomoo Ranch farmhouse

Fly to Magnolia Town and go to the Moomoo Ranch farmhouse, in the northwest part of town. If you’re Pokémon Champion and have completed Mission #060: The Battle of Antisis, the pen opposite the farmhouse will have no Miltank in it.

Head inside the farmhouse.

The Miltank have been taken by the Terror Granbull, and you’ll need to track them down in Magnolia Fields.

How to Complete

Walk through the east exit of Magnolia Town and you’ll end up in Magnolia Fields.

Head south through the gap in the fence and make your way through the wooded path east.

When you pass the male Rancher and see some long grass to the east, take the northern path going up until you see some Cut trees.

You’ll need to cut your way through one of them to get into this section – for simplicity’s sake, make it the left tree. Then follow the path forward.

Head west through the little grove here and you’ll soon spot where the goons are.

The plan is not going well

After you chased them out of Cootes Bog, the Terror Granbull have decided to set up an illegal Miltank milking operation, but they’re not having much luck.

The Miltank end up running off in three different directions.

Gruff will try to warn his goons when you approach, but two will still challenge you, and they’ll be easy to defeat.

When you beat them, James of the Black Emboar arrives with an offer for the Granbull to join the new combined Black Horizon, which they do.

James will say hello and leave, and you can then work on rescuing those three Miltank.

First Miltank

Head north from where the Granbull were, and Cut the eastern tree of the pair blocking your way through.

You’ll then see the Miltank in the east corner.

The way to move these Miltank is very much like a boulder puzzle, except instead of using Strength, if you talk to them from one particular side they run away from you in the opposite direction.

So, talking to them is effectively pushing them.

Here’s how to handle the first Miltank:

Step 1: Push the Miltank west.
