How to Start A Sorta Scary Cemetery Story
A Sorta Scary Cemetery Story can be started by talking to Horace near the eastern entrance of 
Wild Zone 13. If you don’t see the quest marker icon on the map at the location shown in the screenshot above, it means you need to progress the game’s main story to unlock this quest.
Horace will tell players that there is a rumor going around among couriers that one of the gravestones in the Dormez Bien Cemetery moved at night. However, this only appears to happen when certain conditions are met. The conditions are:
It has to be nighttime.
You can only have one Pokemon with you.
You have to enter the cemetery from the northern gate.
You have to say these magic words in your head: Solitary solo cemeteries are sorta scary.
A Sorta Scary Cemetery Story Walkthrough
The Dormez Bien Cemetery is located inside 
Wild Zone 4, the area where you find 
Gastly, Honedge, and Spinarak, just southeast of where you find Horace.

Rest at a bench to change the time of day to nighttime (there’s one at the Pokecenter nearby).

Enter from Wild Zone 4’s northern entrance.
If all previous conditions are met, you will see prompts to select the correct passphrase. Choose the following options:
Solitary…

Cemeteries are…
Sorta…
Scary!
A cutscene will play out where you will be confronted by a group of level 75 Greavard and a Houndstone. Defeat all of these Pokemon using the Pokemon you brought with you to complete the quest.
Powerful level 75+ Dark-type Pokemon like Pangoro, Houndoom, or Tyranitarwill have an easy time against the Greavard and Houndstone.
