Walkthrough – Galaxy Team Entry Trial
Choose your first partner Pokémon
After Captain Cyllene explains the details of your trial, you’ll be given the chance to choose your starter Pokémon. Interact with Cyndaquil, Rowlet, or Oshawott to select your first partner.
Head to the Obsidian Fieldlands
Leave the headquarters building and turn left toward Jubilife Village’s front gate. A cutscene will trigger as you arrive, leading to a battle with Volo, who uses a Level 5 Togepi. After defeating him, Volo will heal your Pokémon and give you 5 Potions.
Next, speak to Ress near the gate and choose Obsidian Fieldlands as your destination.
Catch a Bidoof – the first Pokémon for your trial
Once you arrive, follow Akari/Rei to spot a Bidoof nearby. Approach it and toss a Poké Ball to catch it—no battle required.
Catch a Starly – the second Pokémon for your trial
Continue following Akari/Rei to find a Starly. Use the tall grass to crouch and sneak up on it, then throw a Poké Ball to catch it quietly.
Catch a Shinx – the final Pokémon for your trial
Keep moving with Akari/Rei until a cutscene introduces item collection. Throw your partner Pokémon at the berry tree to gather materials, then proceed down the path to encounter a Shinx.
This time, you’ll need to weaken Shinx in battle before catching it. Once its HP is low, toss a Poké Ball to secure the final capture. A cutscene will play afterward.
Report back to Captain Cyllene
After the trial concludes, return to Captain Cyllene at Galaxy Team Headquarters to report your progress and trigger another cutscene.
Change into your Survey Corps uniform
Leave the building and head back to your quarters. Interact with the mirror near your futon to change into your new Survey Corps uniform.
Meet with Commander Kamado
Return once more to Galaxy Hall and head up to the third floor to meet Commander Kamado. This will trigger the final cutscene for the mission.
