Instructional walkthrough

Speaking to the ranch-manager

From the Route 19 bay (southwards of Fuchsia City), surf eastwards and meander your way around the mountainside; this will lead you to the ranch-farm peninsula of the route, named the Arcanine Farm.

Speak to the ranch-manager, who can be found in the entryway of one of the exterior fencehouses; see the thumbnail to the right for a visual pointer.

He initially seems happy with his current job as a ranch-manager, but soon displays his discontent over it, revealing that he wanted to pursue a career in surfing but was saddled up on the ranch to take charge of his family's ranch. Also wistful to see the rarer Pokémon inhabitants of the nearby safari zone, yet unable to do so himself due to his confinement to his family's ranch, he will ask for you to hunt for and show him three of those Pokémon, yourself: Pinsir, Kangaskhan, and Chansey.

Hunting for the Pokémon

Pinsir, Kangaskhan, and Chansey can be obtained from anywhere at any time, but all of them must be under your OT registry; this removes the option of trading for them, meaning you must be the one to catch them.

You will not have to give the Pokémon to him; you will simply need to show it to him, allowing you to retain whatever you have caught.

This step will be seamless if you have already obtained some or all of the required Pokémon, but it can be rather time-consuming if you choose to hunt for them all. It is advisable to read the Pokémon-specific articles for all obtentionary information for them, some recommended methods for each Pokémon are explained below.

Pinsir

Main article: Pinsir (obtainability)

Pinsir is huntable in nearby Kanto Safari Zone Entrance. Due to its entry fee being 5,000 for a single 20 minute session, it is not cheap to find a Pinsir here. Alternatively, you can purchase the daily pass for 50,000, but it may be too steep of a price for most players at this point. Furthermore, it may seem like a waste if you encounter a Pinsir in the first few attempts.

Excluding the Safari Zones, Pinsir is also huntable in these areas at the same rarity: Bug Catching Area, Breakers Beach, and Route 229 (Route 229 requires active Membership).

Kangaskhan

Main article: Kangaskhan (obtainability)

Kangaskhan is huntable within the Kanto Safari Zone, Cerulean Cave 1F, and Rock Tunnel 1. It can also be found in the Easter event island of Breezy Town in Breezy Cave. Note that this area, due to being event-only, is not available year round.

Chansey

Main article: Chansey (obtainability)

Chansey spawns in several areas and has the same percental probability for most of them, with the majority of its spawn locations sharing the same optimum, probability-wise; see its individual article for more information. To save yourself the fees of entering the Safari Zone, it is advisably to hunt Chansey in Route 14. Chansey can also be found in Cerulean Cave 2F, Safari Exclusive (with active Membership), Kanto Safari Area 3, Route 35, and Route 209.

Alternatively, you can obtain Happiny and evolve it into Chansey; if you successfully do so, it will still be submissible to the ranch-manager regardless of its evolutionary roots.

Rewards

Once you have acquired all three Pokémon, return to the ranch-manager. Because he will ask you to show them, you should ensure that you have all-three Pokémon in your current lineup before returning to him.

For showing all three of them, he will reward you an Arcanine Mount, giving you an alternative to the Bicycle or one of the Coin Shop-purchasable Mounts.

The quest is now complete!

-====Dratini====

+{{Main|Pinsir#Obtainability|Pinsir (obtainability)}}
-Dratini's only proximately huntable area nearby [[Route 19]] is the [[Safari Exclusive]] zone, which requires active [[membership]] in order to be accessible. Due to the potentially chafing requirements and impositions of [[membership]], limited time sessions within the [[Kanto Safari Zone|safari zone]], and potentially having to recurrently pay to re-enter the zone, this area is discommended if you already have deeper access to other hunting areas for it.
+Pinsir is huntable in nearby [[Kanto Safari Zone]] Entrance. Due to its entry fee being {{Pdollar}}5,000 for a single 20 minute session, it is not cheap to find a [[Pinsir]] here. Alternatively, you can purchase the daily pass for {{Pdollar}}50,000, but it may be too steep of a price for most players at this point. Furthermore, it may seem like a waste if you encounter a [[Pinsir]] in the first few attempts.
-With 120 caught-data and 38 evolved-data entries accumulatively registered on your [[Pokédex]], [[Love Island]] is also accessible via [[Vermilion City]] Harbor wherein Dratini is also huntable.
+Excluding the Safari Zones, [[Pinsir]] is also huntable in these areas at the same rarity: [[Bug Catching Area]], [[Breakers Beach]], and [[Route 229]] (Route 229 requires active [[Membership]]).
-[[File:Lance_(Dragons Shrine)_boss_NPC.png|175px|left|thumb|The Lance boss in Dragons Shrine potentially rewards Dratini]]
-[[Dragons Shrine]] is considered the most viable hunting domain out of all areas. While it is exclusively fishable therein, requiring a [[Super Rod]] to encounter it, it spawns at its most percentally probable rarity-tier bracket, a tier below the other-two aforementioned areas.
-The [[Lance (boss)|Lance]] [[Bosses|boss NPC]], who is also found stationed within the Dragons Shrine domain, potentially rewards [[Dratini]] in his Pokémon prizeset. While Dratini has one of the steepest probabilities out of all his Pokémon prizes, you also have the bonus-prize option to select it after defeating him three-consecutive times, affording it as a guaranteed prize if you are not serendipitously rewarded it before then.
-For an earlier-accessible Dratini-rewarding boss NPC, [[Professor Oak (boss)|Professor Oak]] is also available in [[Cinnabar Lab]] (Room 2). Similar to the aforementioned Lance boss, Dratini is one of the steepest-probable prizes rewardable, but it will become selectable upon three-consecutive wins.
 ====Kangaskhan====
 {{Main|Kangaskhan#Obtainability|Kangaskhan (obtainability)}}
-[[File:Professor_Oak_boss_NPC.png|right|200px|thumb|Professor Oak's boss NPC may be agential for completing this quest, since he potentially rewards two of the quest-required Pokémon: Dratini and Kangaskhan.]]
-Kangaskhan is strictly huntable within the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] and [[Rock Tunnel]]. As a [[membership]]-exclusive spawn in Rock Tunnel 1, the Rock Tunnel cave is considered optimal for active members, as it spares the entry expenses and time-limit constraints of the safari zone.
+Kangaskhan is huntable within the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Cerulean Cave]] 1F, and [[Rock Tunnel]] 1. It can also be found in the Easter event island of [[Breezy Town]] in [[Breezy Cave]]. Note that this area, due to being event-only, is not available year round.
-For those who qualify for challenging the [[Professor Oak (boss)|Professor Oak boss]], it is highly recommendable to defeat him, because not only is Kangaskhan a potential prize for defeating him; Dratini is subsumed in that same prizeset, affording you the probability of winning one of either of the quest-required Pokémon. Both Pokémon are selectably rewarded upon three-consecutive wins.
 ====Chansey====
