One of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk’s key features is the new Blueberry Quest (BBQ) system, which gives players objectives to complete while exploring. Once completed, BBQs give out Blueberry Points (BP,) something you will want to grind fast as you progress through the story.
BP is used for so many things throughout Blueberry Academy. It can be used as a currency for special items, exchanged to improve the Terarium so rare Pokémon begin spawning, and is even mandatory for advancing the DLC’s story at certain points. It can also be a real chore to grind up BP if you don’t know some special tricks to speed the process up.

BP can be collected entirely solo if you don’t want to try and expand your horizons, but Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk has built-in multiplayer that factors in BBQs when using the Union Circle.
Instead of riding solo and grinding for hours only to get a few thousand BP, you can group up with other players and get triple the results in the same amount of time. The real benefit is in the quest number. With the Union Circle, you can invite up to three players to join a session and travel throughout the Blueberry Academy. If you play alone you only get three at a time—while playing with a group of four players turns that into 12 active objectives to complete together.
Doing so will make it so your BBQ tracker gives everyone access to those quests, meaning anyone can complete them or contribute to longer ones. This makes it much easier to grind the smaller objectives out and then team up to hit the big rewards when the red and gold-colored quests, like making a four-star sandwich with friends start popping up.
The best part is everyone shares the BP earned, so your grind is cut short and you get more opportunities to get BP in general.
This is important for several reasons, especially since using BP is the only way to catch all the Starter Pokémon returning in this DLC and to purchase evolution items like the Protector to evolve Rhydon into Rhyperior.
Fastest way to grind BP Solo in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
If you’re not feeling very sociable or can’t access online features, it is possible to farm BP on your own, and while it can take longer than it would with other players, it can still yield a decent haul if you are efficient.
You should travel to the Central Plaza in the Terarium when farming BP solo, as this provides quick access to all four of the biomes. More often than not, you’ll find yourself situated between the Canyon Biome and Polar Biome—which are great locations for quickly rattling through quests.
Whenever you need to take a picture of a Pokémon swimming, simply hop into the Polar Biome and snag a quick photo of a Lapras, Seel, or any of the other Pokémon in the water, while the likes of Geodude and Solosis count as flying even though it’s more of a hover. You can also quickly catch Ice-type and Rock-type Pokémon in these locations.
Picking items up off the floor can be done quickly, too, as can defeating wild Pokémon using auto-battle, and the TM Machine is nearby to craft a TM whenever you need to. Having said that, don’t be afraid to reroll quests.
Red quests cost 50 BP to reroll and ordinary quests cost 10 BP. While that may seem counterintuitive, it’s much quicker to reroll and blast through simpler quests than it is to take time focusing on ones that are a bit complicated—and I recommend rerolling any quest that involves making a Sandwich or using the picnic feature.
Another quick tip is to double up quests whenever you can to kill two birds with one stone. If you need to sneak up on a Pokémon and defeat a Pokémon after Terrastilizing, do them together. If you need a photo in the Polar Biome and one of a flying Pokémon, find a Solosis. This can quickly lead to your BP total surging upward.
