Had to do this about 8 times to get it right. Houndoom kept eating the FFs and by the time it finally would go to the center, Xerneas was leaving. They would also howl, but if fresh FFs are out, they will go eat them after howling and not go Xerneas. Serval times I’d have 1 where it needed to be, but the other not. Finally got them both to cooperate.
