Getting Mochi In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask
Click to enlargeIf you want to farm Mochi, the Ogre Oustin' mini-game at Kitakami Hall is your best bet. This mini-game has you ride Miraidon/Koraidon around a little field and pop berry balloons to earn Mochi. Cute.
Collect up all the berries you need and deposit them in the baskets, making sure to scare away any greedy Greedent with Roar. Pro tip - don’t deposit all your berries until your pockets are full, and try to collect the exact number, otherwise your pockets will get too full and Greedent will end up chowing down!
Bored of playing by yourself? Grab a mate - online or local - and team up to farm more Mochi.
- Some of Pokemon Scarlet And Violet's new Pokemon are well worth EV training!
What is Mochi in the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Teal Mask DLC?

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this item helps to train your Pokemon’s EVs, or even reset them completely. That’s right - no more arduous farming for berries!
In case you didn’t know, EVs, otherwise known as effort values, are stats your Pokemon picks up as you use it in battle. Every Pokemon it defeats, or every Pokemon you catch, gives your team a specific EV.
For example, if you take down one of the Poochyena roaming around outside Mossui Town, you’ll get 1 Attack EV. Your Pokemon can gain 510 EVs in total, with each stat maxing out at 252.
You can imagine that 252 EVs in one stat would give you a serious competitive advantage, which is why pro Trainers spend so many hours (and Pokedollars) adjusting their EV spread with Vitamins.
