How to Clear Houndoom's Breather

Get a Photo of Houndoom Stretching

Houndoom

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.

Reward for Clearing Houndoom's Breather

Lvl 3 on my first attempt. Was totally random as I played the melody a few times, and as I was going down into the cave, he yawned and I was able to snap it real quick

It 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).
