After you’ve started the epilogue storyline, simply proceed through the new main quest as directed. Near the end of the game, you will face off against one last trainer. Upon defeating them, you will be forced into a battle with Pecharunt. Don’t be alarmed that you can’t catch it during this fight! You’re intended to fully KO Pecharunt in this encounter. Once it’s HP is zero, you will be instructed to catch it with a Pokeball from Kieran. At this point, choose whichever ball you like and go for the catch. It’s a guaranteed capture, so no need to worry about it breaking free.
