The Alola Region is full of helpful NPCs, but none are better than those charitable souls that give the player free Pokemon in Sun and Moon. Sometimes mandatory, but often hidden and ready to share rare Pokemon, these useful NPCs give gifts with no strings attached if you find and talk to them.
Well… some strings attached. You’ll need to hit certain milestones in the main story before some of these guys will give up the goods. Whatever the case, we’ll provide location details and descriptions to help net you a handful of free Pokemon for your party.
