Unlock Requirements |
|
Objectives | Hunt down a thief into Frozen Forest and return a woman’s Alolan Ninetales |
Reward | Item: Alolan Vulpix Egg |
The Alolan Ninetales belonging to a woman in Blizzard City has been kidnapped, and you’ll need to rescue it from Frozen Forest. Do so and she’ll give you an Alolan Vulpix Egg.
Starting the Mission

In Blizzard City, head inside the house on the right side of the middle row of houses (near the Poke Mart).

On the ground floor you’ll find a woman who has had her Pokémon stolen.
Leave the house, and you’ll get a big clue on where to start looking.
How to Complete
Walking south towards the town entrance will reveal a shady man in a black hat leaving to go east to a deep forest.

Follow him, and you’ll find the way to Frozen Forest.

There’s not much to do here except follow the path, with a couple of exceptions.

Just to the north of the entrance is a strange sight – the lair of a giant scary Crabominable, which you can get into by using Cut on the small trees. It’s asleep though, for now.

The only thing to do here to progress is take the west path and circle it around. There aren’t any trainers waiting to challenge you, just the occasional patch of long grass.
Frozen Forest Ice Puzzle

Continue until you see a large patch of ice – this is an ice sliding puzzle.
Follow the instructions below to get to the other side:
- From the southernmost land tile, slide east onto the ice.
- Slide down.
- Slide right.
- Slide up off the ice.
- Obtain the Ice Stone.
- Slide down back onto the ice.

You will land near the entrance to a clearing – this is where the missing Pokémon is.
The Missing Pokémon

As soon as you arrive in the clearing, the Burglar confronts you with the woman’s missing Alolan Ninetales, as well as his other Pokémon.

When you return to Blizzard City with the woman’s Alolan Ninetales, she gives you one of its Eggs as a reward. It will eventually hatch into an Alolan Vulpix.
