Obviously, you could get unlucky and exceed 5 hours, but looking at anecdotes and streams most people got it within 2-5 hours.
Enamorus is the biggest potential timesink, but that has more to do with the way PLA hides data from the player. It's a PLA issue more than a species-specific issue. If Champions doesn't rectify that, Pokemon Go surely will.
This sort of fringe case is also a great example of why Pkhex is a valuable tool and not just a hackmon printer. Pokemon Ranger is another such case, where using external tools lets you completely wipe save data, restoring the Manaphy event.
A lot is said about Pkhex being a solution to GF's self imposed problems, with people drawing a comparison to Gaben's famous quote about software piracy. We're at the point where hacking mons has become more of a hassle than just playing the game, with very few exceptions. Champions is probably going to make modified mons irrelevant, but TPC's obsession with locking down save data and preventing cloud saves is going to be a problem moving forward. I take comfort knowing all my important mons are backed up on my server, even if my Switch was compromised my roster from 20+ years of playing are safe and can be restored. I'm kind of worried about the future for these games, with Z-A being a point of no return, and Gen 10 being on Switch 2. Hopefully we get a solution for backing up mons down the road.
