To complete the final step of the quest, you must fight brawlys medicham. In order to start this fight you have to have pure power OT jolly medicham max happy and ONE POKEMON in party. The only way to get to Mt Pyre is via surf, which requires a Pokémon in your party than can learn surf which medicham cannot.

All of this comes together to form a situation where you are forced to purchase a surf mount in order to progress in game, which doesn't seem as intended.

halp my medicham be a big boi

Keep your second pokemon in pc 

You cannot reach Mt Pyre without the 2nd Pokémon to surf there. I wish it had a simple fix, and if it does ima feel silly XD

yea +1

while most do have surf mounts some still don't, which does prevent you from completing the quest

Ouch, was unaware this was a known issue, just doesn't seem right to the player.

I got no problem with donation, but this feels a lil different than a donation.
