Taking a 4 Star Photo of Manaphy requires unlocking a secret route by following certain steps. You also need a bit of luck as the Pokemon randomly performs the pose needed to get its 4 Star Photo.
See the table below to learn how to get Manaphy's 4 Star Photo!
| 1 |  At the starting point, throw an Illumina Orb at the Vaporeon to make it swim faster. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Look to your right and throw an Illumina Orb at the first Crystabloom that you find. |
| 3 |  Proceed near the whirpool and look to your left on the rocks to find the second Crystabloom. Throw an Illumina Orb at it. |
| 4 |  If done correctly, one of the Wailords will sink down underwater revealing a secret route. If the Pokemon does not sink down, restart the course and try again. |
| 5 |  Look to your right to find Manaphy along with some several Inkay. |
| 6 |  Throw an Illumina Orb at Manaphy and play the Melody. Wait for it to dance and jump. Take a photo of it jumping to get its 4 Star Photo. If Manaphy does not jump, restart the course and try again. |

For the 4 star, all I did was the normal orbs at Lapras, melody, it came out. While they were swimming around, I did more orbs at it and it turned around and waved. Got a 4 star from that. For the 2 star, it just needed to be illuminated, doesn’t have to look your way.
