On the Sea Floor

As you approach the underwater ruins in Research Level 3 of Undersea, you can find several partially buried Starmie in the area where you can find several Lumineon.

If you count the number of hidden Starmie as you go along, you can find three Starmie in the area. Toss an Illumina Orb at the third hidden Starmie and wait for it to come out of the sand. Once out of the sand, take a photo of the Starmie as it stands still.

Rising from the Sand

In the path leading to the underwater ruins in Research Level 3 of Undersea, you can find several Starmie partially buried underground in the same area you can find several Lumineon.

As you go through the path, you can find three Starmie hidden in the sand. Toss an Illumina Orb at the first or second Starmie and wait for it to come out of the sand. As it rises from the ground, something will alert the Starmie. Take a photo of the alerted Starmie before it starts to swim away.

Strring Up Starmie

To obtain the 3 Star photo of Starmie, take the route through the undersea cave. Towards the end of the route, you'll encounter a few Lumineon swimming close to the seafloor. In this area, there are a few Starmie underneath the sand. Use scan to identify them.

Have Starmie emerge from the sand by throwing an Illumina orb directly at their jewel or by throwing a fluffruit at them and having Lumineon dig them up. Snap a photo of Starmie emerging from the sand to obtain the 3 Star photo. This photo can also be obtained while completing the requests Stirring Up Starmie and A Seven-Colored Glow.

A Seven-Colored Glow

This photo can be obtained while completing the request A Seven-Colored Glow.

Just as in the 3 Star photo, you'll have to get Starmie to emerge from underneath the sand. Following this, light up the crystabloom near the end of the undersea ruins to get Starmie to come out onto the stage. Light up the crystabloom again to give Starmie a unique glow, then snap the photo to complete the request and attain a 4 Star ranking.
