A Question about Essence Cultist Npc Asking "Rare Pokemon From This Island" for the Dark Star forms Quest

[Xouman]

Hi,so this NPC that wants rare pokes sacrifices,does it mean that we should only catch them on event map?

 

A rare form caught outside of event map will not count right?

[Mysticwind]

Yes, it will not count it has to be catch on Phantasm Island and you dont have to submit form, you can submit normal pokemon with good ivs.

Do you just submit a certain amount to get access to hunt in the cave behind him?  Or only top 4 teams ?

As @Mysticwind stated, you can only submit Pokemon caught on Phantasm Land. As well as being caught on Phantasm Land, these Pokemon need to be caught during the 24 hours your party has to hunt. Finally, these Pokemon do not have to be event form (the submission includes the submission of normal Pokemon also).

The top teams from the week of hunting will receive the opportunity to hunt in the Haunted Cave Depths.

 

I hope this information finds you all well and I look forward to your response..
