How to Clear Flopping by the Water

Hit Pidgeot with a Fluffruit

Once you enter the lake area of the course, Pidgeot will fly overhead and land on the path. It will then make its way towards the cliffs.

Toss a Fluffruit at the Pidgeot as it perches on the cliff, making sure the fruit hits the Pidgeot.

Wait for Pidgeot to Land on the Tree

After you hit the Pidgeot with the Fluffruit, it will fly up in the sky and eventually land on top of the tree found near the Magikarp.

Make Magikarp Jump

Throw a Fluffruit next to Magikarp to make it jump. Pidgeot should spot the Magikarp and start flying once again.

Take a Photo of Magikarp as Soon as the Pidgeot Snatches It

Ready your camera and wait for Pidgeot to swoop down and snatch the Magikarp. Note that the subject Pokemon should be Magikarp, not Pidgeot.

Be sure to take the photo quickly since the action only lasts for a few seconds.

Take a Photo of Magikarp Being Carried Away

If you missed the shot, you can still take a photo of Magikarp as it is being carried away by the Pidgeot to complete the request.
