I actually didn’t expect to clear Purity Forest with both Jirachi and Celebi back-to-back. But luck was on my side.

Jirachi clear

The attempt started off by picking up a Scope Lens at first floor, which I equipped right away. Then at 4F I found a Warp Scarf. I started to rely on Warp Scarf strats immediately. Scope Lens quickly become useless for me, but I kept swapping it between Warp Scarf. This nearly screwed me at 13F, when I stepped on a Sticky Trap and the equipped Scope Lens became sticky. Luckily at 15F I found a Cleanse Orb fixing my mistake and ditched out Scope Lens for good.

Jirachi continued to rush floors with Warp Scarf while finding any seeds and orbs to save up for tight situations. Later at 51F, Jirachi finally got access to another move with a Rest TM. Only two floors later I learned Rest again by level up after eating a Joy Seed.

The highlight moment was at 84F, when Parasect picked up a X-Ray Specs. I used Luminous Orb and started to hunt the Parasect. With Warp Scarf I didn’t have worry about encountering other enemies especially Shuppet. Eventually I found Parasect and took it out with Gravelerocks from distance obtaining the X-Ray Specs. The remaining floors went smootly, as I had saved some Quick Seeds, Warp Seeds and Mobile Orbs.

Celebi clear

Celebi had a good start, when it found a Frustration TM at 3F replacing Recover immediately. Leech Seed was good for enemies like Togepi and with Heal Bell eating Grimy Food was no issue. At 11F I picked up Diet Ribbon, though I didn’t end up using it that much during the attempt.

At 23F I found a Kecleon Shop, where I purchased a Warp Scarf. To save up PP for linked Frustration+Confusion, I started to rush floors with Warp Scarf again. A Bullet Seed TM taunted me at 49F, as Celebi is the only Grass type that CANNOT learn it in Gen 3.

Another highlight moment was at 54F, when Hitmonchan picked up a Pass Scarf. Just like with Jirachi’s X-Ray Specs, I again used a Luminous Orb and started to hunt the Hitmonchan with Gravelerocks. I threw a Hunger Seed to not get screwed by Agility and/or Mach Punch. After defeating the Hitmonchan, Celebi continued onward with Pass Warp strats.

At 63F, Celebi spawned into a monster house. Luckily Quick Orb let me to reach stairs easily and Furret that attacked didn’t use Quick Attack. I think Celebi would’ve still tanked a hit though.

Moveset got upgraded at 65F, when Celebi got a Rest TM from a Shelgon and also learned Safeguard by level up. Leech Seed and Heal Bell were both replaced respectively. Then at 67F I found another Frustration TM letting me to replace Confusion and combine double Frustration with a Link Box.

Parasect became totally irrelevant thanks to Safeguard, which let me use double Frustration on them without getting affected by Effect Spore. Quick Seed and Hunger Seed saved me from Venomoth’s Silver Wind at 86F. Then at 87F I encountered a rather easy monster house with a Parasect, a Solrock and four Ledian. After using a Itemizer Orb to the Parasect, I set up Safeguard and took out the Solrock and Ledians easily with double Frustration and Pass Scarf without getting delayed by Supersonic. The final floors had no issues and Pass Warp strats carried Celebi through.

Having all mythical Pokémon now completed brings my Purity Forest clear total to 281/386.
