Steelix

Steelix at Durice Island Illumina Spot Steelix is the fifth Illumina Pokémon to encounter. Steelix will dart from cave to cave, often needing to be taunted out using Fluffruit. Its appearances are often fleeting requiring some quick reflexes with the Illumina Orbs

On subsequent visits, several Pokémon will interact with Steelix, changing its attack patterns. If you awaken the Crobat, if you only awaken the right one, it will be using Iron Tail for a 4 star photo opportunity, if you awaken both or the left one, it will bite into rocks. If you awaken neither, you will get it sleeping at the end for another 4 Star Photo

Ruins Locations

Ancient Ruins

Outaway Cave - Ancient Ruins

Professor Mirror's Analysis:
We found this roughly 2,000-year-old mural deep inside the cave. Unfortunately, because that center- right piece of the image is missing, we can't tell what the mural depicts.

Details
These ruins can be found through the alternate path in the Illumina Spot and provides a mural of what happened 2,000 years ago
