How to Farm Gold Power Stones in Pokémon Quest

To farm Gold Power Stones in Pokémon Quest, run the highest stage your team can clear with a 100% success rate on auto-play, and time your Expedition Bonus so that it triggers on the toughest stage you can complete. Gold Power Stones grant three secondary special stats alongside their primary Attack (ATK) or Hit Points (HP) value, giving your squad the survival and damage perks required to defeat Mewtwo and clear late-game expeditions.

Charging and Timing the Expedition Bonus

The Expedition Bonus meter at the top of the expedition screen guarantees a high-tier stone drop once it is fully charged. Every stage you clear adds one charge to the meter. After completing nine expeditions, the meter glows gold, indicating that your tenth run will award a guaranteed bonus drop.

To maximize the base power of this guaranteed stone:

1. Clear fast, lower-difficulty stages that your team can finish in under a minute to fill the first nine charges quickly.
2. Check the meter after each run and stop once it shows that the bonus is ready for the very next expedition.
3. Switch to the absolute highest difficulty stage your squad can beat, playing manually if necessary.
4. Complete the stage to ensure the guaranteed Gold Power Stone rolls with the high base stat range of that late-game level rather than a low-level world.

Selecting Farming Stages

Failing an expedition costs a battery charge and drastically reduces the items you collect. For standard runs outside your bonus trigger, farming a slightly lower stage with a guaranteed clear rate yields more stones per battery charge than attempting an inconsistent stage where your team wipes.

When farming prior to fighting Mewtwo in the Chamber of Legends, focus on the final stages of World 9 (Fringed Islands) and World 10 (Cradle Rock). Check the stage select screen for the elemental type bonus, which grants a substantial stat multiplier to matching Pokémon. Building a farming team that matches the area's featured type lets you clear these higher worlds on auto-play without manual intervention.

Sub-Stat Priorities for Late-Game Combat

Gold stones outperform grey, bronze, and silver stones because their three sub-stats provide passive combat effects that raw power ratings do not reflect. A team relying entirely on flat stats will struggle against Mewtwo's burst damage and debuffs.

Prioritize Gold Power Stones that roll the following sub-stats:

• Hit Healing: The most critical perk for both melee and ranged Pokémon, converting dealt damage into health recovery to sustain your team through long encounters.
• Resist Status Conditions: Prevents boss attacks from immobilizing or weakening your squad with Burn, Paralysis, or Confusion.
• Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage: Increases raw burst output, which directly scales the amount of health restored through Hit Healing.
• Natural HP Healing: Restores missing health during the transitions between enemy waves.

A Gold stone with a slightly lower base number but high Hit Healing provides far more real survivability than a higher-rated stone lacking sustain traits.

Socket Layout and Inventory Management

Before taking on Mewtwo, check each team member's Power Stone socket layout. A safe distribution for your initial clear is five Mighty Stone (ATK) sockets and four Sturdy Stone (HP) sockets, or a six-to-three split. Avoid fielding glass-cannon Pokémon with eight or nine Mighty sockets, as area-of-effect boss attacks will knock them out before their Hit Healing can trigger.

Regularly recycle obsolete grey, bronze, and duplicate lower-stat stones from your inventory. Recycling prevents your bag from hitting the storage cap while returning cooking ingredients, which you can use in camp cooking pots to attract new Pokémon with better socket layouts and Bingo Bonuses.
