Rick Ashleymon:
A human shaped Pokemon, it is known for its stubborn and caring nature. It never gives up, and fights to never let its trainer down. Even when released, this Pokemon will not desert its trainer.
This portion of the Pokemon Sword and Shield Walkthrough and Guide explains everything you need to know about Poke Jobs: including a time table chart, job rewards chart, and a complete Poke Jobs list with the Type requirements for every job (including the
vague descriptions that do not specify type). Poke Jobs is a new feature/mechanic to level up your Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield and gain rewards such as money, curry ingredients, pokeballs, stones, and more! You can even EV train using Poke Jobs. advertisement Jump to: In the Galar Region, it's common
for people and Pokemon to work together to the point where you can send Pokemon out on jobs to earn XP. To access Poke Jobs go to a Poke Center and approach the Rotomi. Then select Check Poke Jobs. You can
send any Pokemon out on a job but you want to send ones with the preferred type for the job. It will often be clearly labeled on the job listing. However, sometimes the job doesn't explain what type is needed but for those we have you covered! Just jump to: Poke Job Types for All Poke Jobs advertisement
Poke Jobs are labeled as taking "A little while," "very short," "short," "long," "very long," "half day," and "whole day"
but that's pretty vague. Here's what those times actually mean. You can also get
items from Pokemon jobs! From ingredients to cash to rare items. All the more reason to send Pokemon on jobs. Once you unlock the Hammerlocke University Seminars that increase your
Pokemon's base HP after getting your 4th Gym Badge. This means Poke Jobs can be used to EV train! For more on EV Training be sure to check out our complete EV training guide. advertisement There are 3 possible job ratings. Here's how you get the highest job rating to get the most XP and unlock the best rewards! To get Great Job! send as many Pokemon to the job as possible, send the correct type of Pokemon.
A lot of the jobs will specify what type they want but some jobs are vague about it. Instead of guessing, jump to our table at the end of this page to find out what these vague job listings are actually looking for. Not
all jobs have the same payoff. In general, the more stars the better but below are specifics. Keep in mind you can get Ingredients that can be used to Cook Curry through Pokemon Jobs. You can unlock more Pokemon jobs by earning more badges. For details, look at the table below. These rewards were found in the
Official Pokemon Guide. Tips: The higher the Star Tier, the more XP you get! Good Job Great Job Good Job Great Job Good Job Great Job Good Job Great Job Good Job Great
