Officer Jenny bounties

Bounties are one-off miniquests commissioned by Officer Jenny. She can be found nearby five Pokémon Centers throughout Kanto, offering different sets of bounties in each location.

These bounties are recommendable for newer players who have limited assets and Pokémoney, helping flexibilize their budgets until more profitable content and opportunities are available.

Overview

Each bounty can only be completed once per account; however, they can be done at any juncture throughout the trainer's storyline progress while the location is reachable. If you've already completed the assigned the task beforehand, you can immediately reap the reward.

Jenny will reward variable amounts of Pokédollars for bounty completions, which are incrementally higher in locations requiring advanced storyline progression to access. Some will unlock secondary tasks for additional rewards, essentializing the Pokémon or move technique you requisitely obtained during the initial task.

While the nature of the bounties are diverse and sometimes unique, most classifiably entail several common frameworks: Pokémon or item obtentions, NPC battles, and move techniques.

Pokémon

You can obtain the requisite Pokémon both in the wild or via game content (e.g., quest rewards); however, you must be the registered OT of the Pokémon you're presenting. Some of these bounties stipulate specific Pokémon individualities, such as requested [[Natures] and Abilities.

Unless noted otherwise, you do not have to relinquish the Pokémon; Jenny typically only wants you to show it to her.

Trainer battles

You need to defeat an assigned NPC; thereafter, Jenny will dispense your reward upon speaking to her. The assignee is typically a nondescript battle NPC, but it occasionally requires defeating gym-leaders as well.

Move techniques

You teach any Pokémon the specified move by any method, such as level-up, TMs and HMs, move tutors, and Egg Moves; you just need to show the Pokémon to Jenny while toting. If one of your Pokémon has already learned the move beforehand, you can instantanly complete the bounty.

These bounties often unlock secondary miniquests wherein Jenny suggests using the acquired move to obtain a Pokémon or item. While this is often the most expeditious method, it is not categorically necessary; as long as you show the required object regardless of its genesis, it will satisfy Jenny.
