Stage 2 - Meet Barry at the School
After your victory in the League Tournament, speak with Barry in Misty’s House. During his travels, Barry realized that he wants to pass his knowledge on to the next generation. You suggest that he apply for a teaching position at the Trainer’s Center. Meet Barry afterwards in Kopiranga.
Stage 3 - Battle Barry
Cheren and the headmaster — who has grown seriously ill — wish to see a battle between you and Barry. Battle Barry on the training field outside of Kopiranga. After your victory, Barry is officially hired as a teacher.

Stage 6 - Show Barry the Six Items
For the next battle simulation, Barry wants you to use six specific held items: Choice Band, Leftovers, Life Orb, Quick Claw, Eviolite, and Psychic Gem. If you’re missing any of these, you can purchase them from the vendor on the left side of Porington City’s Shopping District. Win the battle afterward to advance the quest.
Stage 7 - Register 60 Berries
To demonstrate the importance of diverse berries in battle, you must have at least 60 different Berries registered in your BerryDex for the next challenge. (see Items Overview for help) Once you’ve reached this number and win the following battle, Barry will reward you with two Kubfu. These are specially programmed so that one will evolve into Urshifu (Single Strike Style) and the other into Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style).
Stage 8 - Visit Barry with Kubfu
Barry will give you the Scroll item, which allows you to trigger Kubfu’s evolution. Afterwards, the quest concludes, and you’ll be able to battle Barry every Wednesday.
