Alright, so you've hit the main quest "The City in the Shadow Prism Tower" and it's time to tackle some side missions. One of them is called "A Big Ol' Bunnelby." To get started, you'll need to find Trevelle. He's hanging out in Rogue Sector 6, which is just east of Wild Zone 3. Chat him up, and he'll tell you about this massive Bunnelby causing trouble in Lumiose City.

What: Find the small alleyway. Before you go, though, you'll want to prep your party. Bunnelby is a Normal Type, so bring along some Fighting-type Pokémon to exploit its weakness. If you want to make this fight a breeze, try to get Heracross. You can snag Heracross during the "A Use for an Evolution Stone" side mission, which you'll find north of Wild Zone 4. Also, make sure you stock up on Potions and Revives from any Pokémon Center – you'll definitely want them.
Why: This is where you'll find the Giant Bunnelby. Proper preparation will make the battle much easier and prevent you from having to heal too much or potentially lose the fight.
