At the start of the course, you can spot three Vivillon flying around, a sun, savanna, and sandstorm patterned Vivillon. Toss Illumina Orbs at all three Vivillon to make all the Vivillon in the area flock together.

Take the Alternate Route

Take the alternate route of Badlands (Night) by tossing Illumina Orbs at the digging Diglett near the start of the course and taking their photos. Once at least 3 Diglett are near the boulder, light up the Crystabloom.

Light Up the Crystabloom in the Valley

After launching yourself from the geyser, you can spot a Crystabloom in a valley to your right. Throw an Illumina Orb at the Crystabloom to make it glow and wait for the group of Vivillon to approach it.

Wait for the Non-Desert Vivillon to Emerge

Once the group of Vivillon is lit up by the Crystabloom, non-desert Vivillon patterns will start emerging from over the cliffs to join the large group of Vivillon.
