To take a photo of Volcanora, you need to throw a Fluffruit at it first to get rid of the fire. Aim slightly high to throw the fruit at a long distance.
The two Volcanora may sometimes stop in front of the Neo-One, giving you an opportunity to throw the fruit at close range.

After removing the fire, throw an Illumina Orb at Volcanora to reveal the glowing patterns on its wings.

For this photo, we recommend setting your camera to Burst Mode.
Set the Research Level to 2 and start the course. Throw a Fluffruit at the Volcarona on the left to ascend towards the alternate route.
