How to Clear Oasis Buddies
Throw an Illumina Orb at Torchic and Hippowdon
Once you enter the oasis area, you can immediately start throwing Illumina orbs at Torchic and Hippowdon. Hit Torchic with the Illumina orb first, then Hippowdon. Torchic will immediately run to a spot in front of Hippowdon then start excitedly jumping up and down.
Throw Another Illumina Orb at Torchic
When Torchic is excitedly jumping up and down, throw another Illumina orb at it for it to jump onto Hippowdon's head. Missing this moment will fail the request and you won't be able to get Torchic back to its spot.
Snap a Photo of Hippowdon
When Torchic is on Hippowdon's head, snap a photo of Hippowdon to complete the request!

Spam the Hippowdon and Torchic at the front of the pond with the orbs. The Torchic will do a little happy hop by the side of the water, and you have to hit it again before it stops. I think both have to be glowing. It he torchic should then jump on the Hippowdon’s head. The photo focus must be the hippowdon to count.
