Completing the regional Pokedex in the Kitakami province offers a structured progression system that benefits both casual collectors and competitive trainers. With a total of 200 entries to fill, the Kitakami Pokedex in the Teal Mask expansion for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet provides a variety of rare evolution items, high-value Poke Balls, and unique legendary encounters. Unlike the Paldea Pokedex, the rewards here focus heavily on optimizing late-game resources, particularly Tera Shards and competitive held items.

The milestone reward system and item utility

Rewards in the Kitakami region are distributed through two primary channels: the Pokedex app's internal reward menu and direct interaction with NPC Jacq. To access the internal rewards, trainers must open the Pokedex while in Kitakami, navigate to the reward tab by pressing the X button, and claim items based on their current registration count.

At the 90-entry mark, the first significant reward is a PP Up, followed by 10 Bottle Caps at 100 entries. While Bottle Caps are more accessible in 2026 than in previous generations, receiving ten at once remains a high-value milestone for hyper-training teams. As the count increases, the rarity of the items escalates.

Detailed milestone rewards list

  • 90 Pokemon: 1x PP Up – Essential for increasing the move capacity of competitive builds.
  • 100 Pokemon: 10x Bottle Caps – Used for maxing out IVs at the NPC in Montenevera.
  • 110 Pokemon: 1x Razor Fang – The specific item required to evolve Gligar into Gliscor, a staple in many defensive team compositions.
  • 120 Pokemon: 1x Love Ball – One of the coveted "Apriballs" with a very low natural drop rate, making it a prime collector's item.
  • 130 Pokemon: 5x Star Pieces – Primarily for financial gain, though their utility is secondary to the competitive items.
  • 140 Pokemon: 1x Prism Scale – Necessary for evolving Feebas into Milotic, which remains a popular choice for its Competitive ability.
  • 150 Pokemon: 3x Comet Shards – High-value treasures that can be sold for significant Pokedollars.
  • 160 Pokemon: 1x Friend Ball – Another rare Apriball, often used for aesthetic matching with green or forest-themed Pokemon.
  • 170 Pokemon: 1x Reaper Cloth – Required to evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir.
  • 180 Pokemon: 1x Heavy Ball – Highly effective for catching high-mass Pokemon like Snorlax or Mamoswine.
  • 190 Pokemon: 1x PP Max – Fully maximizes a move's PP in one use, saving multiple PP Ups.
  • 200 Pokemon: 1x Moon Ball – The final milestone reward from the menu, highly valued for its rarity and association with moon-based evolutions.

The 150-entry unlock: Perrin’s photography quest

Reaching 150 entries in the Kitakami Pokedex triggers one of the most significant narrative and gameplay rewards in the expansion. Upon hitting this number, trainers can find Perrin, a traveling photographer, located in Mossui Town. Speaking with her initiates a side quest that leads to the Timeless Woods.

This quest is the only way to encounter and catch the Blood Moon Ursaluna, a unique Form of Ursaluna that cannot be evolved from Teddiursa or Ursaring through standard means. This Pokemon is a Tier-1 special attacker with the Mind's Eye ability, allowing it to hit Ghost-type Pokemon with Normal and Fighting-type moves.

In addition to the Blood Moon Ursaluna encounter, Perrin provides two other high-value rewards upon completion of the quest:

  1. Choice Scarf: One of the most important held items in competitive Pokemon battles, which increases speed by 50% but locks the user into one move.
  2. Hisuian Growlithe: A level 15 regional variant that is otherwise difficult to obtain without transferring from previous games or specific events.

The Glimmering Charm: Maximizing Tera Shard efficiency

Once the full Pokedex of 200 species is registered, the final and most powerful reward is the Glimmering Charm. This item is not claimed through the menu but must be received directly from Professor Jacq. He is located on the eastern side of Mossui Town, standing near a bridge under a tree. He will verify your Pokedex completion and award the charm along with a commemorative certificate.

The Glimmering Charm is a permanent Key Item that significantly increases the number of Tera Shards earned from Tera Raid Battles. Tera Shards are notoriously difficult to farm in large quantities, requiring 50 shards to change a single Pokemon's Tera Type. Given the shifting competitive meta in 2026, where specific defensive Tera Types are crucial for survival, the Glimmering Charm is an essential tool for any trainer looking to optimize multiple Pokemon.

Shard drop increases with the Glimmering Charm

The charm provides a flat increase to shard drops based on the difficulty of the raid. It is important to note that the charm does not affect 1-star, 2-star, or 7-star Event Raids. The standard increases are as follows:

  • 3-Star Raids: Adds 2 extra shards.
  • 4-Star Raids: Adds 5 extra shards.
  • 5-Star Raids: Adds 10 extra shards.
  • 6-Star Raids: Adds 12 extra shards.

For a 6-star raid, which normally drops around 10 to 12 shards, the Glimmering Charm effectively doubles the output. This reduces the time required to change a Tera Type from approximately five or six high-level raids down to just two or three.

Strategies for reaching 200 entries

Completing the Kitakami Pokedex requires managing version exclusives and evolution methods that differ from the Paldea mainland. Since Kitakami is a smaller, more densely populated region, habitat navigation is more straightforward, but certain species require specific conditions.

Navigating version exclusives

To earn the final rewards, trainers must trade for species not found in their specific version. In Pokemon Scarlet, players have access to Gligar and Gliscor, whereas Pokemon Violet players will find Aipom and Ambipom. Similarly, Cramorant is exclusive to Scarlet, while Morpeko is restricted to Violet. Utilizing the global trade link codes established by the community remains the most effective way to bridge these gaps without local friends.

Evolution items and special spawns

Several Pokemon in the Kitakami Pokedex require items that are themselves rewards for reaching lower milestones. For example, the Prism Scale and Reaper Cloth earned at 140 and 170 entries should be used to evolve Feebas and Dusclops to reach the final 200-entry goal.

Newer additions like Dipplin require a Syrupy Apple, which can be purchased from a stand in the far southeast of the Kitakami map. Poltchageist and its evolution Sinistcha require the Unremarkable Cup or the Masterpiece Cup, found in various caves and hidden corners of the region.

Long-term value of completion

The Kitakami Pokedex rewards are designed to transition the player into the deeper mechanics of the game. While the early rewards provide immediate financial and evolution assistance, the Perrin quest and the Glimmering Charm offer long-term competitive advantages. The Blood Moon Ursaluna remains a powerhouse in the current 2026 battle regulations, and the increased efficiency of Tera Shard farming allows for more experimentation with team builds.

For trainers who have already completed the Paldea Pokedex, the Kitakami rewards serve as a bridge to the Blueberry Academy's even more demanding challenges. The acquisition of rare Poke Balls like the Moon and Love Ball also provides significant leverage in the global trading market, where these items are often used as currency for rare Shiny Pokemon or event-exclusive distributions.
