Title: Festival Plaza
Introduction
The Festival Plaza (FP), first introduced in the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon (SM) and kept in the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon (USM) sequels, is the spiritual successor of the Player Search System (PSS) known from the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y (XY) and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire (ORAS) games. The FP is the place that allows players to access online trading and battling, including the Global Trade Station (GTS), Wonder Trade (WT), and Battle Spot (BS). It does, however, also house a variety of booths and other facilities where you can, once per day, exchange earned Festival Coins (FC) for services that are beneficial for offline in-game purposes. By participating during online missions and by interacting with your Plaza guests, you can level up your FP, gain access to more features, and optimize your current facilities. The level of a facility is visualized with the help of stars: a Rare Kitchen food stall's level can, for example, range from ★ to ★★★★★, whereas a Switcheroo booth's level only ranges from ★ to ★★★. As you will learn throughout this article, some booths are version exclusive and can only offer certain services when they have the maximum level, ★★★ or ★★★★★. While the FP feature is undeniably far from flawless, farming FC to help level up your Pokémon faster at a Rare Kitchen or to help raise your Pokémon's EVs faster is still worth the time and effort. Battling at the Battle Agency (BA) facility and participating during the Global Missions with other players can help you earn a lot of FC in a short amount of time especially. You will be able to find more information about the BA and the missions later on in this article. I decided to use tables to help our dear readers keep track of all this information. In this article, I will explain to the best of my abilities everything you need to know about the FP and how you can get the most out of it for your journey through the Alola region.
Before we talk about the unlockable facilities and services, let us take a look at how many FC are needed to rank your FP all the way up in the first place.
It is important to note that the level of your FP cannot go higher than 999. You can of course still collect FC and level up your facilities after having reached that milestone, but the level will always stay at 999 for future "level ups".
1. The Castle
The castle, which houses a variety of useful non-playable characters (NPCs), at the center is the beating heart of your FP. Once you enter the castle, you will immediately find a help desk to your right and to your left. The female Golfer on the left will explain how things work at the FP, and you can reread the information as many times as you need. This is recommendable for new players who are not as experienced with the FP yet. The Dancer on the right will help you participate during the online global missions that are hosted occasionally. The PC on the right help desk allows you to both upload and view battle videos, and you can use it to link your game(s) to your Pokémon Trainer Club and Pokémon Global Link (PGL) accounts via the Game Sync feature. Further inside the castle you can find two more help desks to your right and to your left. The female Office Worker on the left allows you to page a specific FP guest from your list into the castle, whereas the male Worker on the right allows you to rearrange your booths and to customize your FP by changing the theme of your FP castle (Glitz, Fairy Tale, Subdued, and the USM-exclusive Team Rainbow Rocket one, as well as the background music that plays in your FP (You can choose between 10 of them: Festival Plaza, Hau'oli City, Hau's Theme, Konikoni City, Malie City, Iki Town, Paniola Town, Po Town, Seafolk Village, and the USM-exclusive Team Rainbow Rocket's Castle one). I should also mention here that the facility in the first spot to the right of your FP castle will be the one that players can purchase from you. So, if you want to help out a friend with a specific facility they are looking for, you will have to rearrange your facilities so that the desired one is in the first spot. You can always come back and talk to the male Worker to change the order of your facilities again. In the table below you can find a complete list of the facility levels and their respective prices:
As of the USM games, the male Worker was moved to the left and now shares a help desk with the female Office Worker, whereas the former right help desk is now housing the Battle Agency (BA) facility, which I will explain in more detail in the next paragraph. To the left of the throne you can find a man who trades you normal Bottle Caps in exchange for 30 Shards of the some color (red, green, blue, and yellow), which your Pokémon can find while exploring the cave of your Poké Pelago's Isle Aphun. Last but not least, there is the throne. Every time you rank up your FP, Sophocles will appear here and reward you with a brand new booth that you can either accept or decline. If you decline the booth, he will reward you with different prizes such as Pearls (both regular ones and big ones, Nuggets (both regular ones and big ones), and Festival Tickets, which you can use at the dancer in front of your FP's castle to participate in missions.
2. The Plaza Guests
Once you have completed the FP tutorial and you connect to the internet for the first time, the FP will start filling with people, both random passersby and friends whose friend codes you had already registered prior. Your FP can contain up to 50 guests, and you can also register up to 50 guests as your VIPs. You can, however, add up to 100 guests to the block list. Sometimes you will notice that the color of the speech-bubble with a guest's name has changed from blue to red. This means, for example, that this guest has a "quest" and can be interacted with. Some will ask you personal questions, and some others will kindly ask you to guide them to a specific booth they are looking for. Depending on how satisfactorily you fulfill their requests and answer their questions, you will be handsomely rewarded with FC. Below you can find a complete list in alphabetical order of the interactions and their respective rewards:
While random passersby get replaced frequently, registered VIPs stick around at your FP. So, if you want to keep certain people close to you, you can do so by adding them to your VIP list. Once you rank your FP up to Level 8, you will also be able to purchase certain booths from guests in exchange for FC, including version-exclusive Stores, Bouncy Houses, Restaurants, Dye Shops, and Fortune Teller tents. That way you can acquire specific booths of certain ranks more reliably than, say, having to wait until Sophocles finally offers to introduce it. ★ facilities can be purchased for 50 FC, ★★ ones for 100 FC, ★★★ ones for 400 FC, ★★★★ ones for 800 FC, and ★★★★★ for 1500 FC! In addition to this, once you rank your FP up to Level 10, you can also ask your guests about their favorite clothes and even purchase one piece of clothing per day from them in exchange for FC. This is an important piece of information for the fashion gurus and completionists among our readers, since this is the only way of owning a full clothing collection with all of the version-exclusives clothes.
3. The Missions
The missions can be subdivided into two categories: the Festival Plaza missions and the Global Missions.
The regular FP missions can be accessed by interacting with the female Dancer on the left in front of your FP's castle. In exchange for Festival Tickets you can play a variety of short, funny minigames with your FP guests and win some more FC to spend. While online, you can both host said minigames yourself or join other players' missions. You can also play these minigames offline by yourself, but the rewards will not be as lucrative. You can play as many minigames as you like, provided you have enough Festival Tickets to spend. Should you run out of tickets, you need to wait until midnight when the female Dancer hands you three new tickets or until Sophocles rewards you with some when you level up your FP. The minigames are usually very short and only last around 3 minutes per round. They require you to do minor tasks like breaking boulders while riding on Tauros, finding fans of specific Pokémon types among your guests, and polishing your foreign language skills by interacting with guests from all over the world. Below you can find a complete list in alphabetical order of the missions you can play:
The Global Missions, however, can only be accessed if you use the PC inside your FP's castle to link your game to your PGL account. As the name already suggests, these missions are aimed towards a bigger group of participants, and players get around two weeks to fulfill the missions' objectives in order to receive the full rewards. In SM, the mission tasks consisted, for example, of catching Pokémon, harvesting Berries, hatching Eggs, and winning Battle Points (BP) at the Battle Tree. If the goal was met, players were handsomly rewarded with Rare Candies and even Apricorn Balls. However, this is unfortunately no longer the case in USM. Earning Beach Points (BP) at the Mantine Surfing minigame and winning at the BA were added as USM-exclusive Global Mission goals, but the rewards only consist of notable amounts of FC. However, it is important to note that only your contributions after registering will count towards the goal. Your contributions from before signing up for the respective Global Missions will not count. Even if the goal of a mission is not quite achieved by players worldwide, the participants do not end up empty-handed and receive a consolation prize: While the full reward would have, for example, been 2000 FC, you will still end up with 1000 FC even if the mission failed. Why not give it a try? You have literally nothing to lose.
4. The Stores
The Stores can be subdivided into five categories: General Store, Ball Shop, Battle Shop, Soft Drink Parlor and the Pharmacy.

5. The Dye Shops
The Dye Shops can be subdivided into eight major "teams": Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Navy Blue, Orange, Purple, and Pink. For a small fee of 10-100 FC, you can dye any white piece of clothing either via the shop's color or via the help of certain Berries that you can find in the Alola region.
Similarly to how certain clothes are version exclusive, Dye Shops of certain colors are also version exclusive. Additionally, the various color shades depend on the rank of the booth. Pastel shades always require 15 of each Berry, dark shades require 30 of each Berry, and bright shades always cost 100 FC and cannot be obtained with the help of Berries.

It is important to note that the level of your FP cannot go higher than 999. You can of course still collect FC and level up your facilities after having reached that milestone, but the level will always stay at 999 for future "level ups".
| Current Festival Plaza Level: | Amount of FC required to Reach the Next Festival Plaza Level: | Unlockable Feature(s): |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | |
| 2 | 10 | |
| 3 | 15 | |
| 4 | 30 | You can henceforth participate in missions by spending Festival Tickets at the female Dancer in front of your FP's castle. |
| 5 | 40 | |
| 6 | 50 | |
| 7 | 60 | |
| 8 | 70 | You can henceforth purchase facilities, including version-exclusive ones, from guests in exchange for FC. You can do so by interacting with them and asking: "Do you know any good facilities?". |
| 9 | 80 | |
| 10 | 90 | You can henceforth purchase clothes, including version-exclusive ones, from guests in exchange for FC. You can do so by interacting with them and saying: "Your outfit looks great!". |
| 11-20 | 100 | Once you reach Level 20, you are able to give your FP a customizable nickname that you can change any time you want. |
| 21-30 | 120 | Once you reach Level 30, you will be able to make use of the rarest and most expensive facility services. It is important, however, to note that becoming the champion of the Alola region is a preqreuisite to accessing this feature! |
| 31-40 | 150 | Once you reach Level 40, you will unlock the ability to change your FP's background music! |
| 41-50 | 180 | Once you reach Level 50, you will unlock the "Glitz" theme, the first theme that you can use to customize your FP's castle. |
| 51-60 | 210 | Once you reach Level 60, you will unlock the "Fairy Tale" theme, the second theme that you can use to customize your FP's castle. |
| 61-70 | 240 | Once you reach Level 70, you will unlock the "Subdued" theme, the third and final theme that you can use to customize your FP's castle. |
| 71-80 | 270 | |
| 81-90 | 270 | |
| 91-100 | 270 | Once you reach Level 100, you will be able to boast and proudly greet your FP guests with your newly gained chatchphrase: "I reached Festival Plaza Rank 100!". |
| 101+ | 300 |

| ★★★★★ | 1500 |
As of the USM games, the male Worker was moved to the left and now shares a help desk with the female Office Worker, whereas the former right help desk is now housing the Battle Agency (BA) facility, which I will explain in more detail in the next paragraph. To the left of the throne you can find a man who trades you normal Bottle Caps in exchange for 30 Shards of the some color (red, green, blue, and yellow), which your Pokémon can find while exploring the cave of your Poké Pelago's Isle Aphun.

| "Tell me! Tell me!" | Just answer the personal question that your guest wants to know about you | 10 (Guest) 15 (VIP) |
While random passersby get replaced frequently, registered VIPs stick around at your FP. So, if you want to keep certain people close to you, you can do so by adding them to your VIP list. Once you rank your FP up to Level 8, you will also be able to purchase certain booths from guests in exchange for FC, including version-exclusive Stores, Bouncy Houses, Restaurants, Dye Shops, and Fortune Teller tents. That way you can acquire specific booths of certain ranks more reliably than, say, having to wait until Sophocles finally offers to introduce it. ★ facilities can be purchased for 50 FC, ★★ ones for 100 FC, ★★★ ones for 400 FC, ★★★★ ones for 800 FC, and ★★★★★ for 1500 FC! In addition to this, once you rank your FP up to Level 10, you can also ask your guests about their favorite clothes and even purchase one piece of clothing per day from them in exchange for FC.

The Global Missions, however, can only be accessed if you use the PC inside your FP's castle to link your game to your PGL account. As the name already suggests, these missions are aimed towards a bigger group of participants, and players get around two weeks to fulfill the missions' objectives in order to receive the full rewards. In SM, the mission tasks consisted, for example, of catching Pokémon, harvesting Berries, hatching Eggs, and winning Battle Points (BP) at the Battle Tree. If the goal was met, players were handsomly rewarded with Rare Candies and even Apricorn Balls. However, this is unfortunately no longer the case in USM. Earning Beach Points (BP) at the Mantine Surfing minigame and winning at the BA were added as USM-exclusive Global Mission goals, but the rewards only consist of notable amounts of FC. However, it is important to note that only your contributions after registering will count towards the goal. Your contributions from before signing up for the respective Global Missions will not count. Even if the goal of a mission is not quite achieved by players worldwide, the participants do not end up empty-handed and receive a consolation prize: While the full reward would have, for example, been 2000 FC, you will still end up with 1000 FC even if the mission failed. Why not give it a try? You have literally nothing to lose.
4. The Stores
The Stores can be subdivided into five categories: General Store, Ball Shop, Battle Shop, Soft Drink Parlor and the Pharmacy.
In the table down below you can find a complete list in alphabetical order of all of the item sets you can purchase once per day:
| Set: | Content & Quantity: | FC Cost: | Availability: |
