>>46457049This is the sort of thing I like about shiny hunting via SOS chaining or Horde encounters; having to form a specific plan to catch the thing you're looking for.
Like, to SOS chain I got a phantump with the ability harvest, the moves bestow and skill swap, and holding a leppa berry. Once I found the mon I wanted to SOS, I'd give it the leppa and then the ability harvest so that it would never run out of PP. Then I'd swap to a smeargle with false swipe, recover, recycle, and icicle spear to false swipe the first mon down, then use icicle spear to kill everything it calls, recovering and recycling as needed.
It's fun to have a team to complete a specific task.
