The Pokétch can be received in Jubilife City after you’ve met Barry. A man will prevent you from going to the next area until you’ve located three clowns and answered all their Pokémon-related questions. The answer is “Yes” to all three of them.
The clowns will give you three coupons, which you can then trade the man for a Pokétch.
