Where to Start The Fragrance of Nostalgic Herbs (Request 37)
Begin this request by heading to the Team Galaxy Headquarters in Jubilife Village. Go straight to the basement, where you’ll find Risa waiting outside the office. Talk to her to learn about a Pokémon she remembers from her homeland—one covered in blue vine-shaped herbs. This Pokémon is Tangela, a Grass-type known for its distinct blue vines that resemble the herbs Risa seeks.
How to Find Tangela for Risa
To complete “The Fragrance of Nostalgic Herbs,” travel to the Crimson Mirelands and search for Tangela in Gapejaw Bog. This area is home to many wild Pokémon, but Tangela stands out with its distinctive blue vine-like body. Follow these steps to catch it and complete the Request:
Find Tangela in Gapejaw Bog
Head to Gapejaw Bog in the Crimson Mirelands. This is Tangela’s primary habitat, filled with tall grass where it often hides. Move carefully through the area and keep a sharp eye on the greenery to spot Tangela.
Catch Tangela
Once you locate Tangela, use your preferred Poké Balls to catch it. Be patient, as it may take time for Tangela to appear. If it doesn’t show up immediately, continue searching or leave and return to reset spawns.
Deliver Tangela to Risa
After catching Tangela, return to Risa in the basement of the Team Galaxy Headquarters. Show her the Pokémon, and she will express her gratitude for helping her reconnect with the Pokémon she remembers. This completes the Request.
Tips for Catching Tangela
- Search the Tall Grass: Tangela blends into its surroundings, so thoroughly explore the grassy areas of Gapejaw Bog.
- Check at Night: Tangela may appear more frequently at night. If you’re struggling to find one during the day, rest until nightfall and try again.

When you give Tangela to Risa, a cutscene will play, and you’ll receive the following rewards:
- Exp. Candy S (x1): Boost your Pokémon’s experience to help them level up.
