Waving at the Player

As you pass under the arch in Beach (Day) at Research Level 2 or higher, you can spot two Pyukumuku to the left of the path wagging their tails. Once you are close to one of the Pokemon, toss an Illumina Orb at it to make it wave at you and capture a photo.

Toss a Fluffruit near one of them and wait for the Pokemon to grab and eat it. After eating the Fluffruit, Pyumuku will let out a peace sign. Take a photo of the Pyukumuku as it shows peace.

It is recommended to use Burst Mode when taking this photo since the action happens rather quickly.

For the 3 star picture, don’t run into the crabawler at the very beginning of the course. If you do, it will slightly change your course and you won’t be close enough for a diamond picture. When the course begins immediately scan to startle the crabawler and speed up to zoom past.
