Where to find it

• Scripted encounter (Lv. 90): Lake of Rage.

  After League HQ round 4’s Petrel scene in the lake guardian’s house, complete the knowledge trial, then show a Pokémon with maximum friendship (255). Only appears on Wednesdays: enter Lake of Rage or Route 43 that day after clearing Rocket HQ. One chance: catching it, knocking it out or fleeing removes it; only losing allows a retry.

See the quest guide: Lake of Rage: Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf (knowledge, emotion and willpower; after the Petrel scene); Lake of Rage: when the "calm day" happens (continues Lake of Rage, Blackthorn City and beyond's lake trio and calm-day visitors).
