How to Clear Houndoom's Breather
Get a Photo of Houndoom Stretching
This request mostly seems to rely on RNG, so you may find yourself restarting the course repeatedly.
Head forward from the beginning, and once you go through the narrow path, there will be a Houndoom to your left. Simply zoom in and wait for it to stretch and yawn, then capture a photo of it.
Sometimes it will not do this action, so you'll simply have to restart and try again. A successful photo should count as a Houndoom's 3 Star pose.

Renee over 4 yearsIt seems rng based, but on level 3 I had the lone houndoom on the left yawn almost every time when I got near it and played a melody. I was trying for another request when I discovered this by trial and error (by trying to see if playing melody would trigger anything).
