Requests (6)

  • On the side path, wake Rockruff when Mandibuzz arrives, then throw an Illumina Orb at it: it fights back.

  • Illumina Orbs on the two Vivillon on the left, then take the side path, speeding up to the geyser; a Fluffruit sends Gliscor onto the left platform, an Illumina Orb on the last Vivillon wakes those on the wall, whose Sleep Powder makes Gliscor yawn.
  • At level 2, wake Zeraora with a Fluffruit and let it run toward the cliffs; then wake Tyranitar from a distance: a sandstorm rises and Zeraora lights up to stop it.
  • Illumina Orbs on the three Vivillon moving away, then an Illumina Orb and a photo of at least five Diglett, and activate the Crystabloom on the side path; in the valley, another Crystabloom brings out more Vivillon: take a group photo.
