How to Play Miraidon's Sandwich Challenge

Core Gameplay Loop

Core Gameplay Loop
# Description
1 Roll the Dice to Start Moving
To start with your exploration, roll the six-faced die to know how many squares you'll be moving!

You may then choose if you want to reroll again using 100 Aeos Coins. You are guaranteed to get a higher number than your previous roll so take note of this in case you rolled a six (6). You can only reroll a die for a maximum of 5 times.
Important: We suggest to always aim for a six (6) roll everytime you roll a die. This will hasten your progress to get Miraidon especially if you are free to play.

Always spend Aeos Coins to get a six (6) roll else you run the risk of not getting enough coins before the event ends.

2 Finish Tile Missions
Landing on a square will provide you with two Tile Missions. You may only roll a die after completing one (1) tile mission. Completing a tile mission will give you 10 Nightmare Periphery Coins.

Note: You may also skip doing a tile mission altogether by spending 5 Aeos Gems.
3 Rinse and Repeat
Once you've finished a tile mission, you can now roll a die again. Repeat from Step 1!
4 Reach the End to Obtain Nightmare Periphery Coins
Once you've reached the end of the map, you will be rewarded with Nightmare Periphery Coins!

The number of Nightmare Periphery Coins obtained is random.

There is a 90% chance to get 100 Nightmare Periphery Coins while 150 Nightmare Periphery Coins has a drop rate of 10%.

[1] Roll the Dice to Start Moving

Pokemon UNITE - Darkrai Nightmare Periphery Challenge Roll Dice.png

To dictate how many squares you're going to move, roll a die. A Tile Mission will start where you'll need to complete missions to further roll more dice.

Players can also reroll a die for 100 Aeos Coins to get a higher result. You can only roll a die for a maximum of 5 times.

Important!
We suggest to always aim for a six (6) roll everytime you roll a die. This will hasten your progress to get Miraidon especially if you are free to play else you run the risk of not being able to clear the shop before the event duration ends.

Players can get 1 Die by completing missions in the Nightmare Periphery Coin Collection Challenge

Get More Dice From Nightmare Periphery Support Log-In Bonus

Players can also get Dice by participating in the Periphery Support Log-In Bonus event.

[2] Complete Tile Missions

Pokemon UNITE - Darkrai Nightmare Periphery Challenge Tile Missions.png

When assigned a mission, players will have to finish at least one of them to get rewards and continue rolling more dice. Completing one mission will provide players with 10 Aeos Sandwiches. They can access the Tile Missions by pressing the button at the lower right section of the screen.

If you want to fast-track things by rolling more dice, you may instantly finish one Tile Mission for 5 Aeos Gems. You only have to finish one tile mission so spend only what you need.

Land on a Lucky Square to Advance More

Landing on a lucky square will enable players to advance further by 1-3 squares. This is random so it all comes down to luck in the lucky square!

[3] Rinse and Repeat

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you reach the end of the map. Reaching the end will reward you with Nightmare Periphery that you can use to exchange for Darkai's UNITE license in the Exchange Shop!

As mentioned earlier, reaching the end of the map will reward you with Nightmare Periphery Coins that you can use to exchange for Darkrai's license in the Exchange Shop. Each map would require 16 steps to reach the end from the starting point.

The number of Nightmare Periphery Coins that players will get at the end of the map is random. Here are the drop rates:

How Long To Get Darkrai's UNITE License?

Around 15 Days to Get Darkrai's UNITE License

Pokemon UNITE - Darkrai Nightmare Periphery Challenge Rewards.png

To get Darkrai's UNITE License, we estimate that players will need to faithfully log in and roll the daily log-in die for 15 days and complete 8 map rounds.

This is considering players get 10 Nightmare Periphery Coins every time they roll a six (6) & complete a Tile Mission, get 100 Nightmare Periphery Coins everytime they reach the end of the map, and used the 10 free dice from the Support Log-In Bonus and Nightmare Periphery Coin Collection Challenge events.

Can Be Finished Earlier If You're Lucky

Darkrai can be obtained earlier if you managed to luck out and get multiple 150 Nightmare Periphery Coins at the end of maps or a bunch of lucky squares throughout the challenge. The estimation above is the worst case scenario so just keep playing if you really like Darkrai!

Always Aim For a Six (6) Roll

Pokemon UNITE - Darkrai Nightmare Periphery Challenge Roll Dice.png

Do note though to always spend Aeos Coins to get a six (6) roll else you run the risk of not getting enough sandwiches to clear the exchange before the event ends. This is important especially if you're completely free to play.

Fast Track Everything with Aeos Gems

Pokemon UNITE - Darkrai Nightmare Periphery Challenge Complete Map.png

If you really cannot wait to play Darkrai as early as possible, you can skip maps and obtain 150 Nightmare Periphery Coins instantly for 195 Aeos Gems.

Players will need to skip stages 7 times to get 1,050 Nightmare Periphery Coins - enough to obtain the Darkrai's Unite License.

This will require players to spend a whopping 1,365 Aeos Gems!
