==Gameplay==
While riding /, players collect by popping Ogre Balloons and bring them to the Berry Tables for points before the time runs out. A maximum of 30 Berries can be collected before disposing them; balloons can still be popped after but no Berries will be collected as the pouch is full. Once one of the tables has Berries in it, wild Pokémon will begin to appear walking towards the tables to eat the collected Berries, which will reduce the score. Players can fend off invading Pokémon by pressing the R button to scare them away. There are three modes for players to choose from with each one increasing in number of stages and difficulty. Every mode and each stage has a 120-second timer.
* Easy: 3 stages
* Normal: 6 stages
* Hard: 10 stages
Various maps are available based on areas in Kitakami, though they are randomly selected:
* Apple Hills
* Kitakami Wilds
* Paradise Barrens
* Reveler's Road
* Wistful Fields (North)
* Wistful Fields (South)
The timer will reset between each stage with the required amount of Berries increasing. The period between each stage allows players to move around the map to quickly spread out before the timer begins. Pressing the Y button to immediately return to base, where the Berry Tables are stationed, will not bring back collected Berries in the player's Bag and they will be thrown away.
There are four Pokémon that can appear as invaders. and appear in lower stages, starts appearing in middle stages, while appears in higher stages and is the fastest between them. Snorlax does not appear in Easy mode.
Flying is disabled during Ogre Oustin'.
==Rewards==
Ogre Oustin' has three groups of item rewards, as well as gifts upon completing a difficulty for the first time.
When the player participates in a round of Ogre Oustin' for the first time as part of a story cutscene, the score earned on that attempt will be credited as a score for Easy difficulty, but even if the round is completed successfully, the typical first-time completion gift associated with Easy difficulty will not be awarded, and Normal difficulty will not be unlocked until the player completes Easy again on a separate attempt. At the end of this first attempt, the player receives the Exp. Charm regardless of score or completion status. All other gifts require a minimum of 300 points to be earned.

==Trivia==
* The berries collected during Ogre Oustin' raise a stat of a Pokémon that consumes it in a pinch. That stat is the same one raised when the corresponding Ogerpon form depicted on the balloon stallizes using its ability. For instance, the red balloon gives a Liechi Berry which raises Attack in a pinch, and it resembles , which gains an increased stage of Attack when it Terastallizes.
