Narrative:
Vectored between zzzzz and ZZZZZ1 for an ILS into ZZZ with the weather just a lot of smoke. ATC pointed out VFR traffic to our 9 o'clock. We finally saw it over the lake the left of the localizer doing chandelles or lazy 8s and it showed that the traffic was within 200 ft. Of our altitude. No RA nor TA ever occurred. ATC asked if we wanted to take a heading away from the traffic. Just before we saw it we clicked off the ap and turned right and slight up.
