How to Clear Gust with Gusto

Throw a Fluffruit at Shiftry

Throw a Fluffruit at Shiftry.png

Head to the Spring section of the forest by giving Espeon a Fluffruit before entering the second area. As soon as you enter the Spring Forest, search atop the trees on the right-hand side. Find the one with a Shiftry and toss a Fluffruit at it to wake it up.

Throw an Illumina Orb at Shiftry on the Third Branch it Jumps To

After Shiftry wakes up, it will quickly jump from branch to branch among the trees in Spring Forest. Keep an eye out for the third branch he will jump to, and make sure to hit him with an Illumina Orb at this point.

Toss an Illumina Orb at the Nearby Crystabloom

If you've done the above steps correctly, Shiftry will proceed to another tree next to a Crystabloom. Your goal is to hit the Crystabloom at the base of the tree with an Illumina Orb before Shiftry dismounts. Once you do, he will generate a gust of wind from atop the tree that will blow petals around. Take a photo of this moment and submit it to the professor to complete the request.
