Sandslash Locations and How to Get All StarsComment

For the 4 star photo, the sandslash you need to photograph is on the left of the path, not the right. Follow all the same steps in this article but throw the illumina orb between the 2nd and 3rd tree on the left and take a picture once sandslash is standing up and smiling. If you can’t find it you can use the scanner and it will show a ??? where the sandslash is or it will jump out of the ground and go right back in where you need to throw an illumina orb.

I wasn't able to get the 4* method listed here to work, but found an alternate source: if you get Sandslash to appear in the cave as described on the main Snowfields (Day) page (i.e., orb and then feed the last Sandslash on the alternate path), and feed it a fluffruit there, it'll make a happy pose after eating that counts as a 4* photo as well. (This might not be worth as many points as the other method, tbf, but it *can* still be diamond—my own photo got a score of 4,008, for instance.)
