I stumbled upon this thread on Reddit and thought it would be a wonderful idea to have here in the Bulbaforums! I'll copy and paste the OG instructions, since the OP nicely articulated everything:
"From what I've seen there are a healthy amount of side quests in USUM. Maybe not lengthy ones, but people have said they're sweet and meaningful at the very least.
The thing is, I enjoy stumbling across them and not knowing what to expect and letting them surprise me. This is a double edge sword, though, as I don't know when/where these events are, if I even know they even exist at all. This is especially the case for events that require you to backtrack to old locations. During SM, I didn't even know that the Trial Captain battles existed until after I beat the Elite 4, and by then I was so above them in levels that it wasn't fun to battle them.
So I propose we use this thread to compile a list of these quests in USUM, but listing them in such a way that people who are trying to stay spoiler free can find them but still be surprised. It might even be best to not include what the event will entail; only letting players know that SOMETHING will happen if you poke around a specific location. So any information would be best if limited to:
I do hope people will share what they've found during their journeys in USUM
For example, I'll post something to start:

So any information would be best if limited to:
- The location you need to be to start the event.
- Any conditions you need to meet in order for the quest to be triggered (like "Beat this trial" or "Talk to this person on this day").
- The best time to do the event, based on when the quest becomes accessible/the levels of any pokemon you battle as part of the quest.
I do hope people will share what they've found during their journeys in USUM
- In Hau'oli City Hall, after you complete the Grand Trial, there will be two events that occur. One that will begin as soon as you walk in (make sure you have a Pokemon whose level is 14+!) and another that occurs by talking to the front desk lady.
