Ranger Quests are optional missions in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and Pokémon Ranger: Locus of Light. They can be fulfilled whenever the Pokémon Ranger is available. Players will talk to citizens, listen to their problems and then try and solve them. Players can only do one quest at a time and must cancel, or complete, the current quest before starting a new one. Most quests also have prerequisites that have to be fulfilled before they become available. The reward for completing a quest is either a Styler Power-up or a new Partner Pokémon.
