Learn how to farm 3000+ FC in pokemon sun moon Festival Plaza in 30 minutes by exploiting guest whispers and VIPs.

FC (Festival Coins) is essential in Festival Plaza for using facilities and ranking up. While guests and missions offer FC, a more efficient method exists by manipulating your game's internet connection.

  • A way to stop your Nintendo 3DS (or 2DS) from connecting to the Internet. This can be done by toggling the wireless switch off (on standard 3DS models), deleting or using incorrect Internet Connection Settings, or by turning off your wireless access point.
  • Your Festival Plaza must be a decent rank to have guests repopulate with red-colored whispers.
  • You must have saved your game and closed it, waiting 30-40 minutes for whispers to repopulate.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Load your game and enter Festival Plaza.
  2. 2
    Look for guests with red whisper bubbles that say “Do you want to know a secret?” (rewards up to 20 FC), “I want to meet! I want to meet!” (rewards up to 30 FC), “Tell me! Tell me!”, “Battle! Battle!”, or “Do you understand?”. Ignore other guests.
  3. 3
    Speak to these guests and note down 3 or so who give a good amount of FC.
  4. 4
    If you don't find enough suitable guests, soft reset your game by pressing L, R, and Start/Select simultaneously, then reload and re-enter Festival Plaza.
  5. 5
    Once you have 3 suitable guests, attempt to connect to the Internet. The game will prompt you to save; agree, then proceed until you get a connection error.
  6. 6
    After closing the error message, soft reset your game and re-enter Festival Plaza. The guests you spoke to should still have their whispers, allowing you to speak to them again for quick FC.
  7. 7
    Before speaking to them again, note their names and go inside the middle castle.
  8. 8
    Chat to the receptionist on the west side and use her to page the 3 guests you noted.
  9. 9
    After summoning them, speak to them inside the castle and make them a VIP.
  10. 10
    Connect to the Internet to save your game and soft reset after the connection error.
  11. 11
    The next time you enter Festival Plaza, the 3 VIPs will be near the entrance, granting 50% more FC (30 FC for “Do you want to know a secret?”, 45 FC for “I want to meet! I want to meet!”).
  12. 12
    Continue speaking to these VIPs. Only save while inside the plaza. After about 30 minutes, the whispers will shuffle, and you'll need to repeat the process.
Tips
  • This method can yield 100+ FC per minute, potentially over 3000+ FC in 30 minutes, significantly more than typical missions (around 30 FC for 3 minutes).
  • Paging a guest allows you to make them a VIP without removing their whisper.
  • VIPs grant 50% more FC.
  • The whispers will automatically shuffle after approximately 30 minutes, requiring you to restart the farming process.
  • While many Festival Plaza facilities aren't strictly necessary (EV training can be done via Poke Pelago or SOS Chaining, Lotteries are unreliable), the 5-Star Rare Kitchen is highly recommended for speeding up Pokemon leveling to 100 for Hyper Training, especially after becoming Champion and reaching Plaza Rank 30. Investing in two 5-Star Rare Kitchens is ideal.
