How to Clear Gigantic Koffing

Wait for Koffing to Approach the Crystabloom

Koffing with Crystabloom.jpg

In the toxic swamp area of the Badlands, wait until Koffing floats near the Crystabloom. This step takes a bit of luck since it relies on the Pokemon's natural pathfinding. There are times that Koffing does not get close enough to the Crystabloom, and you will need to restart the course.

Increasing Your Chances

As you enter the toxic swamp area, use your scanner to reveal the Koffing to the right of the path. You may need to scan a few times to get the Koffing to come out. With both Koffing floating around the area near the Crystabloom, there is a greater chance that one will get close enough to it.

Light the Crystabloom and Take a Photo of Koffing

Once a Koffing is close enough to the Crystabloom, toss an Illumina Orb at the Crystabloom to make Koffing inflate itself. Capture a photo of the inflated Koffing to fulfill the request.

Reward for Clearing Gigantic Koffing

I had to lure it with FFs after following the instructions several times. Only way it got close enough. Alt route didn’t work for me either (unless you threw FFs)
