The Keldeo quest is the quest done in order to catch the [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]] Keldeo. This quest was first introduced during the 2020 Christmas event.

To reach the island, you must speak with the NPC named Aero Airlines in [[Resort Area]]; you will be charged {{Pdollar}}5,000, unless you have a [[Transit Pass]] active. When you first arrive at the village, the first building you see will be the PokéCenter.

==Preparations==
Before starting the quest, there are a few things to prepare.
*A Pokémon with [[Surf]] or a Surf Mount
*A Pokémon that weighs between 100kg and 199kg
*A Pokémon that weighs between 200kg and 299kg
*A Pokémon that weighs 399kg or more
*10 [[Revival Herb]]
*15 [[Leaf Stone]]s

==Walkthrough==
===[[Matsuki Village]]===
To begin the quest, head north of the PokéCenter and speak with Paya. After that, head to the village shrine, and speak with Maz Koshia(select the third option). He will explain the situation and ask that you help the village. After accepting his request, head southeast to the [[Wastelands]].

===[[Wastelands]]===
In the [[Wastelands]], the first thing you must do is follow the path until you find [[Keldeo]]. After interacting with [[Keldeo]], you must battle 7 level 100 Pokémon. They can be fought in any order. 
They are the following:
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Absol|Moves=Future Sight,Razor Wind,Sucker Punch}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Flygon|Moves=Dragon Rush,Hyper Beam,Sandstorm}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Garchomp|Moves=Dig,Dragon Claw,Dragon Rush,Slash}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Metagross|Moves=Hyper Beam,Meteor Mash}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Typhlosion|Moves=Eruption,Rollout}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Tyranitar|Moves=Earthquake,Giga Impact,Hyper Beam,Stone Edge}}
{{OverworldPokemon|Pokemon=Zangoose|Moves=Close Combat,Swords Dance,X-Scissor}}

After defeating all 7 Pokémon, make your way to the southeastern part of [[Wastelands]], and speak with the [[Noctowl]]. [[Noctowl]] will tell you that Advisor Kohga isn't as trustworthy as he seems, and thus, you must collect the 3 gems before he does. There is no particular order to do these in.

===Mountain Area===
To the east of [[Wastelands]] is the [[Mountain Area Dungeon]]. When you enter, you will see a [[Graveler]]—Darunia's Son. He will plea to you to save its people that are trapped inside the mountain by the monster—Volvagia. In order to open up the mountain, three pads must be stepped on at the same time. Each pad will require a specific weight range or it will not work. These ranges are 100-199kg, 200-299kg, and 399kg and above.
Keep in mind that there are several strong trainers scattered throughout the mountain.

}}
}}

Once all the pads have been pressed, head to the southern mountain and climb it. At the top, [[Graveler]] will be awaiting you. It will give you a set of Arcanine Clothes that you must put on to enter the cave, else the [[Graveler]] inside the cave will be frightened. Put on the clothes and enter the cave.

Now that you are inside [[Mountain Area Maze]], walk to the west, and you will find [[Graveler]]. This part requires you to go through the maze and find some [[Graveler]]. Afterwards, you must find Darunia's Son on the south west side of the maze and speak to him. If you have found sufficient [[Graveler]], you will be allowed to pass. Once you pass, you will fight Volvagia.

}}
}}
Now that Volvagia has been defeated, walk north, and speak with Darunia's Son. He will thank you for saving his people and will award you the Mountain Gem.

===Snow Area===
The next gem—for the purposes of this guide—will be in [[Burring Strait]]. To begin, speak with the sailor in the southern lake in [[Wastelands]]. To reach the area with the Gem, you will need a special suit; the sailor will give it to you on the condition that you save the [[Ice (type)|Ice]] Pokémon. These Pokémon are: [[Beartic]], [[Bergmite]], [[Cubchoo]], [[Glalie]], [[Snover]], and [[Vanillite]].

After saving all the [[Ice (type)|Ice]] type Pokémon, return to the sailor, and he will give you the Greninja Clothes. Now that you have the needed suit to protect you, go north until you find a sparkling pool of water; surf to it and enter [[Burring Strait Underwater]]. Make sure you are wearing the Greninja clothes and hat.

At [[Burring Strait Underwater]], you will need to awaken Lord Wally Wally. To do this, you must interact with the black rocks. This will cause [[Wishiwashi]] to appear and swim to the center of the map. Find all 8 [[Wishiwashi]] and Lord Wally Wally will be woken up by the [[Wishiwashi]]. When awakened, Lord Wally Wally will swallow you and you will appear inside [[Wailords Mouth]]. Moving forward, [[Wishiwashi-School]] will confront you, and battle you. After defeating [[Wishiwashi-School]], walk north into the cave and there will be a single [[Leftovers]]; next to the Pokéball, there is a rock containing the Gem required.

===Forest Area===
The final Gem will be in [[Forest Area Dungeon]]. You can reach the forest area from the northern exit in [[Wastelands]]. You will not be permitted to enter the forest without the Breloom set. The Breloom set is given by Old Sarah in [[Forest Dungeon Entrance]] after her requests have been fulfilled. Speak to her and she will ask for your assistance in healing her [[Shroomish]]. First, you will need to give her 15 [[Leaf Stone]]s. Then, 10 [[Revival Herb]]. Finally, Old Sarah will ask for 3 unique items only found within [[Forest Dungeon Entrance]]: Cotton, Green Moss, and Green Pigment.

Once all the items have been given to Old Sarah, her [[Shroomish]] will be healed. Following some dialogue, she will give you the Breloom set, and you can now enter the forest.

As soon as you enter the forest, there is a stone tablet visible. Interacting with it will give you a riddle. There are several object that can hold the levers, of which you will need to find 3.
These include:
*Tombstone
*Tree stump with an axe
*Dead tree
*Cherry bush
*Skull
*Tree stump with mushrooms
*Pile of leaves
*Pumpkin
*Sign

When you find the 3 levers, you will be teleported to [[Forest Dungeon Boss Room]]. There, the Forest Master will congratulate you on solving their riddle, and then battle you.

The Forest Master will give you the Forest Gem after defeating them.

===Returning to [[Matsuki Village]]===
With all 3 Gems, return to [[Matsuki Village]], and speak with the two guards on the northwest part of the village. Upon noticing the three gems, they will let you through. At the entrance of [[Matsuki Castle]], [[Noctowl]] will be waiting; speak to it. Going inside, you will notice a load of guards walking around. They will all battle you if they notice you. Make your way through the building and find [[Noctowl]] again. At the very end of the castle, Advisor Kohga and the Lord will be waiting on the throne. After some dialogue, [[Noctowl]] will reveal himself to be none other than Nikola—the legendary hero. You will now battle with Advisor Kohga.

}}
}}

During the battle, the Lord has taken the Gems and you all will be teleported to [[Matsuki Courtyard]]. There, the Lord will explain that everything was part of his plan, and then battle you with a single Halloween-themed Mega [[Tyranitar]]. {{OverworldPokemon|Theme=Rock|Pokemon=Tyranitar|Moves=Drain Punch,,,|Form=Mega}}

==Catching [[Keldeo]]==

In case of ending the battle without a catch, a disconnect or deleting the legend after it was caught, it will re-spawn on the same location, with the same IV's, ability and nature waiting to be caught.
