How to Get All Stars for Taillow

How to Take Taillow 1 Star Photo

Caption Name Nice and calm

Noticed by a Taillow

Before entering the last part of the Park (Day) course, you'll find Taillow on top of a map signboard. Focus your camera on Taillow until you are positioned on the side of the signboard. Take a close-up shot of Taillow looking at you to achieve 1 Star Diamond.

How to Take Taillow 2 Star Photo

Caption Name That's a hit!

A Quivering Taillow

Taking a 2 Star photo of Taillow is similar to 1 Star. Once you get closer to Taillow, throw an Illumina Orb at it and a Fluffruit right after. Zoom it in and take a side-view shot of a quivering Taillow to achieve a 2 Star Diamond.

How to Take Taillow 3 Star Photo

Caption Name What did it hear?

A Dancing Taillow

Instead of hitting Taillow with a Fluffruit, make it dance to achieve a 2 Star photo. Once you get closer to Taillow, throw an Illumina Orb at it and play a Melody for it to start dancing. Make sure your camera is ready, Taillow will only dance for a few seconds. Take a close-up shot for a 2 Star Diamond photo.

How to Take Taillow 4 Star Photo

Caption Name Ugh!

An Attacking Taillow

In Park (Day) research-level 3 near the river, take the original path and focus the camera on the sky. As you get to the bridge, a bunch of Taillows will fly to the tree on the hill. Take a photo of them flying and eventually they will go near the Wurmples.

Upon landing, the Taillows will start squawking on Wurmples. Help them to fight the Taillows by throwing an Illumina Orb at the farthest Wurmple. Take a close-up shot of them fighting to achieve 4 Star Diamond. Make sure your camera's pointer is targetting Taillow for it to register as Taillow in your Photodex.

Ok so if you managed to get the Pidgeotto to cross paths with the Taillow after they have made there U-Turn they will swerve left instead of right and end up on the sign. Do not take a photo of them until after they have landed on the sign.

I don't remember how but I somehow got two Taillow to fly on the left side of the sign. So there were three Taillow on the sign. It was early on and I didn't have the flute yet.
