Objectives | Rescue the kidnapped Miltank from the Terror Granbull Goons |
Reward | Item: 100 Moomoo Milks |
If you went through the Battle of Antisis and you’ve become Pokémon Champion, you’ll be asked to help rescue Magnolia Town’s herd of Miltank from the Terror Granbull. If you succeed, Moomoo Ranch will give you 100 Moomoo Milks.
Starting the Mission

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.

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.

Step 2: Push the Miltank south.

Step 3: Push the Miltank east.

Step 4: Push the Miltank south.

Step 5: Push the Miltank east.

Step 6: Push the Miltank south.

Step 7: Push the Miltank east.

Step 8: Push the Miltank south.

Step 9: Push the Miltank east.

Step 10: Cut the tree in front of the Miltank. You may have cut the other one on the way through here – if you have, just make sure both trees are cut.
Then push the Miltank all the way east after cutting the trees.

Step 11: Push the Miltank south.

Step 12: Push the Miltank west.

Step 13: Push the Miltank south.

Step 14: Push the Miltank west.

Step 15: Cut the north tree blocking the passage.

Step 16: Push the Miltank south.

Step 17: Push the Miltank west.

Step 18: Push the Miltank north.

Step 19: Push the Miltank west.

Step 20: Push the Miltank north.

Step 21: Push the Miltank west into Magnolia Town, and that should be it for the first one.

Second Miltank

Go back to the Miltank you passed on the way (as pictured above). This is the second one you need to rescue.
Here are the exact steps to follow:
Step 1: Push the Miltank north, then push the Miltank west from there.

Step 2: Push the Miltank south, then push it west.

Step 3: Push the Miltank south, taking care to avoid the Rancher again.

Step 4: Push the Miltank west.

Step 5: Push the Miltank south.

Step 6: Push the Miltank west.

Step 7: Push the Miltank north.

Step 8: Push the Miltank west into Magnolia Town, completing the second rescue.

Third Miltank

The third Miltank is behind the Cut trees just north of the Trainer Tips sign near where you talked to the Terror Granbull. Check the screenshot above for its exact location.
Start by cutting the easternmost tree here, then go over to the right-hand side of the Miltank.
Here’s the step-by-step solution for this one:
Step 1: Push the Miltank west.

Step 2: Push the Miltank south.

Step 3: Push the Miltank east.

Step 4: Push the Miltank south.

Step 5: Push the Miltank east.

Step 6: Push the Miltank south.

Step 7: Push the Miltank west.

Step 8: Push the Miltank south.

Step 9: Push the Miltank west.

Step 10: Push the Miltank south.

Step 11: Push the Miltank west.

Step 12: Push the Miltank north.

Step 13: Push the Miltank west.

Step 14: Push the Miltank north.

Step 15: Push the Miltank west, and that will be all three Miltank rescued.

When the third Miltank makes it home, head back to the farmhouse to pick up your reward – 100 Moo Moo Milks.
