At the time of your arrival, the village will be participating in the Festival of Masks, where you can experience the local culture and learn more about this mysterious legend.

The village is known for its apple orchards so that likely has something to do with this new, candy-dipped creature.

The village is also home to a minigame called Ogre Oustin', where you can ride your legendary Pokémon around to pop balloons and earn mochi, a food that can alter your Pokémon's base stats for competitive play. The Teal Mask will also introduce you to the traveling photographer Perrin, who will ask you to assist her in taking photos. You can even get a Roto-Stick, which is
