You can begin this quest by going to the Looker Bureau and talking to Emma. She will inform you on a peculiar report involving an oversized, hostile Bunnelby spotted in the vicinity. After agreeing to assist, your next stop will be Wild Zone 3 in Rouge Plaza, where you will meet Trevelle.

You will find Trevelle standing beside a tree, eager to share what he’s witnessed, a massive Bunnelby causing a stir in the area. After your chat, Trevelle will move to Wild Zone 4, near a narrow alleyway where the creature was last spotted. Follow his trail to continue the mission.

Eventually, you will encounter a giant-sized Bunnelby, which immediately triggers a battle. This is not your ordinary Bunnelby. It's an Alpha variant, boasting higher stats with more aggression. Since it’s a Normal-type Pokemon, the best counter is a Fighting-type to exploit its weakness.

Maintain the pressure throughout battle, using strong physical attacks to wear down its health. Once its HP is low enough, you can either throw a Poke Ball to attempt a capture or just defeat it outright to complete the mission. Either approach will be considered a successful result.
