If anyone wants to squeeze some "free" pictrites, you don't have to spend your precious energy to finish the puzzle in order for skill activations to count. Put Pokémon that don't need to recharge their skills and go into a puzzle, activate the skill and leave, the activations count towards your medals.
The automatic activation of autofix doesn't count though, the skill has to fix a square for it to count as one use.
You're welcome.
