    • Mother - On Tuesdays, you will find the player's mother exiting out of a shop.
    • Alolan Dugtrio - In Ten Carat Hill, some days you will find a girl on the beach. Speak to her and she will enhance your PokéFinder and tell you about a Pokémon she's looking at. Zoom in and it's Alolan Dugtrio.
