Head to the battle court located north of the Prism Tower before or during sunset (around one-quarter of the minimap timer), while making sure that the current weather is set to Clear Skies.
An interact button will appear the moment the Prism Tower's shadow intersects with the Poke Ball symbol at the center of the court, which you can select to spawn a Marshadow.

Weather can change between day and night cycles, so if the current condition isn’t Clear Skies while the sun is setting, you can pass time on a bench until the next day to reroll the weather. The ideal icon to look for is a sun symbol with no clouds, which you can check via the upper-right corner of the map.
| "At the hour when the grandest shadow's tip pierces the center of the circle of red and white...they who dare thrust their fist toward the earth may find..." |
If you are unsure about where Marshadow's exact location is, you may reference the rumor Gardie shared with you by tracking this side mission and looking at the current objective. "The grandest shadow's tip" refers to the Prism Tower's shadow, while the "circle of red and white" refers to the Poke Ball symbol on the battle court floor.

A Level 80 Marshadow will appear, which you may whittle down with a higher-level Psychic- or Fairy-type Pokemon like Gardevoir, then capture it with the best Poke Ball you have while it's stunned.
If you are unsuccessful with your first attempt, you may keep retrying the encounter as long as the Prism Tower's shadow is crossing the Poke Ball symbol on the battle court. Otherwise, you will have to wait for another sunset on a clear day.
The mission will conclude once you capture Marshadow, allowing you to keep the Mythic Pokemon and granting you further rewards!

Going through this side mission will reward you with a Marshadow after you successfully catch it, adding a Mythic Pokemon to your roster which you can train as you please!
