One of your main activities as a transferred student in the Blueberry Academy in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk is completing Blueberry Quests (BBQ for short) to get some BP. This is the academy’s currency for many new features, but you have to work hard for it.
All BBQ Listed in Pokemon Indigo Disk
You unlock BBQs after beating Carmine in the Central Area and visiting the League Club Room for the first time. These quests can be checked anytime by pressing Left on the D-pad, and they range from simple objectives like picking up items on the ground to more elaborate ones, like beating powerful Pokemon in the wild or conquering Tera Raids.
The more you complete BBQs, the broader your range of possible quests gets. You always get a call from Cyrano telling you about new types of missions being available, and they’ll naturally spawn on your list.
Most BBQs are Blue BBQs that give little BP (from 20 to 30 BP). Completing 10 of those unlocks a Red BBQ that gives a more generous amount (100 BP or more). Playing in a Union Circle, however, unlocks the Gold BBQs, or Group Quests, which are undoubtedly the best way to farm BP quickly (up to 600 BP), as long as everyone knows what they’re doing.
All Blue BBQ in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk
These are the basic solo BBQs you randomly get while exploring the Terarium. Completing 10 blue BBQs will eventually unlock a harder red BBQ that also give out extra BP. The rewards varies according to their difficulty.
You can change your quest by selecting it and spending a small amount of BP, but I don’t find that particularly useful as it means you’re getting less BP overall. Even if they’re annoying, they’re still worth the effort.
| Quest Description | Notes |
|---|---|
| Defeat 10 wild Pokemon using Auto Battle! | Overleveled Pokemon will beat others easily regardless of type matchups. |
| Successfully sneak up on 1 Pokemon and surprise them with a battle! | Keep enough distance from the target before throwing the ball and make sure you hit its back. |
| Pick up items on the ground 10 times! | Your Pokemon can also pick them while auto-battling. |
| Catch a wild Pokemon! | Use Repeat Balls on already caught Pokemon for easier catches. |
| Catch a X-type Pokemon! | Can be any type. |
| Travel over 500 yards! | Done in less than 30 seconds riding your Legendary. |
| Terastallize your Pokemon to defeat a wild Pokemon! | Remember to recharge your orb if you get it twice in a row. |
| Make yourself a TM! | Any TM will do. |
| Take a photo of a wild Pokemon swimming! | Polar Biome next to the Central Area is an easy spot for that. |
| Take a photo of a wild Pokemon in flight! | Floating Pokemon (like Porygon) still count as flying. Snapping your own Pokemon won’t work. |
| Take a photo of a wild Pokemon in the X Biome! | Make a trip to the Central Area to easily reach the required Biome. |
| Make a sour/salty/bitter/sweet/hot sandwich! | Use the descriptions of the ingredients to know how they’re classified, or just use the correspondent Herba Mystica. |
All Red BBQ in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk
You get a Red BBQ every 10 Blue BBQs, and these are some of the most enjoyable tasks. Some of them are quite easy, so don’t sleep on them!
| Quest Description | Notes |
| Claim victory in a Tera Raid Battle! | Any Raid level will do. |
| Battle a wild Tera Pokemon! | Spot the glowing Pokemon from afar and go for them. |
| Make a 3-star Sandwich! | Using enough ingredients or a special recipe to accomplish it. |
| Make a sandwich that uses at least 3 ingredients! | Make an original Sandwich to be easier. |
| Hatch a Pokemon Egg! | Use a Pokemon with Magma Armor to make things quicker. |
| Give your Pokemon a nice washing! | Picnic function. |
All Gold BBQ in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk
Gold BBQs are Group Quests only accessible when playing in the Union Circle. Gold BBQs appear after completing 3 Red BBQs. You can quickly get lots of extra BP if you have a couple of friends determined to do these Group Quests together. The more people the merrier!
| Quest Description | Notes |
| Catch the Pokémon that matches the hints you’ve been given! | Only one person needs to catch the displayed Pokemon. |
| Find X Ditto Blocks in the Y Biome | From 4 to 6 blocks. They spawn throughout the whole Biome, so keep your eyes open. |
| Take a photo with your friends while everyone’s wearing masks! | Buy them from the Festival Vendor at Kitakami Hall. |
| Make a four-star sandwich with your friends! | Remember to add Herba Mystica to guarantee those 4 stars. |
Best Way to Farm BP in Indigo Disk
If you have an efficient enough group, completing BBQs in a Union Circle is the most reliable way of getting more BP. All BBQs available to members of the group are shared, as well as their progress, so the BP gains are as fast as possible. Getting access to Gold BBQs accelerates the process even further, and you can get your pockets filled with those sweet points in no time.
Just make sure that everyone does their part as this is a big team effort. Everyone wins as long as they’re dedicating themselves to the task. Focus on doing the easiest missions first, but try to spread everyone else when doing the Ditto Blocks. Those can be instant moneymakers or the biggest time wasters in your list depending on how active everyone is. And if you’re looking to complete your Dex quickly, getting a ton of these is more than essential for catching the Starters.
Unlocking Legendary Pokemon by Completing BBQs
Other than gaining BP as the ubiquitous currency used across Blueberry Academy, completing BBQs can be used to access returning legendary Pokemon in The Indigo Disk. After you complete the main storyline, an NPC named Snacksworth will appear near the entrance to Blueberry Academy, and he’ll offer you various snacks that will summon legendary Pokemon somewhere in Paldea depending on the amount of BBQs you’ve completed.
Snacksworth will hand you a random legendary snack for every 10 solo BBQs you complete or every Gold Group Quest BBQ you complete. The snacks you have access to as a solo player are all technically version exclusives, limiting the snacks you can get while playing solo. But you can access the other game version’s snacks by completing Group Quests with friends.
Below you’ll find a list of all legendary Pokemon that are exclusive to Group Quests for each version of the game:
| Legendary Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Scarlet Group Quests | Legendary Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon Violet Group Quests |
|---|---|
| Lugia, Latias, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Zekrom, Kyurem, Lunala, Necrozma, Spectrier | Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Ho-Oh, Latios, Groudon, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Kyurem, Solgaleo, Necrozma, Glastrier |
That’s everything for BBQs in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC. And if you want to find out more about Snacksworth, check out our full guide on the fella!
