It’s in the wrong place. The crystal bloom is instead behind the Golurk between the last two statues. The Golurk has a Natu on its shoulder and to get it to move you throw an illumina orb at it.

The completed map shows 9 crystablooms and it’s only giving you the locations for 8. Where’s the one between jirachi and noivern?
