How to play and unlock Ogre Oustin’ hard mode in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

To play Ogre Oustin’ in the Teal Mask DLC, you need to travel to Kitakami Hall. This location is to the northeast of Massui Town and at the base of Oni Mountain.

You will go to this location during the main game and be tasked with playing the ogre oustin’ minigame by going to the ogre oustin’ booth. This happens during the Festival of Masks.

Once you reach this area, simply talk to the NPC in charge of the booth to begin the game. There are three difficulty levels; easy, normal, and hard.

You will start off with only having easy mode unlocked. To unlock hard mode, you need to complete all of the stages in both easy and normal mode.

The goal of Ogre Oustin’ is to pop balloons of different colors to obtain berries. The berries you collect then need to be placed in the corresponding colored baskets. Once full, you will move on to the next stage.

Depending on what game you are playing, you will either be using Miraidon or Koraidon to help you traverse the levels and collect berries. After placing berries in the baskets, a hungry Greedent, Skwovet, or Munchlax will appear.

You will need to occasionally head back to your baskets and press the R button to roar. This will scare away the hungry Pokémon. After each successful run, you will get rewards with Shiny Munchlax being the reward for completing the hardest difficulty.

Now that you know how to get Munchlax, you will probably want to know how to catch the Loyal Three. There are also plenty of new clothes to obtain in the DLC.

Is it better to play Ogre Oustin’ solo or multiplayer?

It is better to play the mini-game in multiplayer mode as it makes Ogre Oustin’ easier.
