How to Release Pokemon

You Can Release Pokemon from Your Pasture

As you progress through the game and do your Research Tasks, you will end up catching a lot of Pokemon, way more than you will need. To release a Pokemon from the Pastures, select it, then choose Release to let it go and free you up to catch some more!

The Pastures are south of the Front Gate

The Pastures is located just past the bridge to the south of the Front Gate in Jubilife Village. It has an icon of a Poke Ball in a box.

Pokemon Can Also Be Released at Base Camps

The Pastures isn't the only place you can release Pokemon. Talk to Team Galaxy members at any of the Base Camps in the overworld and you'll be able to release your Pokemon there as well.

Open Up Space for New Pokemon

There is a limited amount of space at the Pasture, so when the Pasture gets filled you'll have to release Pokemon in order to keep new ones. Completing Research Tasks will have you catching lots and lots of Pokemon, so get in the habit of regularly dropping by the Pasture and choosing which Pokemon to release.
