The bait boxes from Gen III's safari could be brought back. You'd have to go to a specific city or faculty to make the bait. You place it on the grass and wait for the Pokemon to appear. To add some challenge, using high quality or rarer berries attracts the Pokemon more, but it also attracts other Pokemon. You have to make them faint or capture them to prevent them from eating the bait.
There can be another Pokemon that only fights you if you have a specific Pokemon in your team, out in the front, and at a lower level than your target. Once in battle, if you switch out, the Pokemon automatically runs away. Basically, it's a juggle between keeping yours from fainting and trying to catch the other one.
If soaring returns, you have to fly after other Pokemon and catch up to them to battle. For diving, it's the same, but you have to swim after them.
