How to Clear Striking a Pose with Its Tail

Light Up the Three Crystablooms near the Sand Tornado

Near the start of the course, there will be a sand tornado to your right next to three Crystablooms. Using your Illumina Orbs, light up these three Crystablooms, and the sand tornado will subside, revealing a Skorupi hidden in the sand.

Throw an Illumina Orb at the Skorupi when it Engages Another Skorupi

For Research Level 2, and Research Level 3, a Mandibuzz should have dropped another Skorupi from the sky around the time that you reveal the hidden Skorupi. These two will then approach each other to fight. By tossing an Illumina Orb at either of them (or even both of them!) they will prop themselves up onto their tails in an attempt to intimidate the other! Take a photo of this moment to clear this request!
