Gumshoos GX [Search the Premises] + Corphish Knock Off interaction question

So Gumshoo GX's ability [Search The Premises] has the following text: "Once during your turn (before your attack), you may have your opponent reveal their hand."

My question is if you use this ability, take a look at your opponents cards and then declare an attack that randomly selects cards from your opponents hand and either shuffles/discards, would the opponent have the right to shuffle before you selected cards to discard/shuffle? Or if you announced your attack immediately after using "Search the Premises" would your opponent have to discard that card?

To outline the steps:

1. Player 1 uses "Search the Premises"
2. Player 1 looks at Player 2's hand carefully
3. Player 1 says "I'm good" and immediately declares the attack "Knock off" [Corphish's attack which states: Discard a random card from your opponent's hand.] and selects a particular card that he remembers from his opponents hand.
4. Does player 1 have to give player 2 a time to shuffle in between actions 2 and 3?
 
Actions in Pokemon can't be combined into one "fusion" action.
You use the Ability. You look. They turn their hand arond so it is no longer showing. They can move the cards around if they wish.

You declare your attack. They present their hand with cards not showing. Possibly shuffling the hand first.
You can't stop them doing this. You do not get to combine the actions.
