She wants you to catch all of the Pokémon that are available to be caught in Cootes Bog, and suggests you use the DexNav to assist you.

How to Complete

The DexNav is very helpful – it lists all the Pokémon in the water and on land in the route, and tells you the method with which they can be acquired.

All three methods must be used – walking in long grass, fishing with the different Rods, and using Surf.

If the Pokémon can be caught in other routes and you’ve already done so, there’s no need to double up.
