How to Clear A New Way to Dance

Hidden in the Seaweed

In the patch of tall seaweed after the first area of Undersea, you'll find 4 Cradily; 3 on the right side, 1 on the left. The request will work on any one of them. If the Cradily is asleep, you'll need to wake it up first by throwing a fluffruit at it.

Throw an Illumina Orb at Cradily

To fulfill the request, you first need to throw an Illumina orb at the Cradily. This will cause it to extend it's neck up, higher than it normally is. If you have difficulty landing the Illumina orb on Cradily, try aiming for its base, which is a wider target.

Cradily Dances to Melody

Once the Cradily's neck is extended due to the Illumina orb, get it to dance to the Melody player. Snap a photo of it as it is dancing! Note that you can get Cradily to dance without the Illumina glow, but the request is only fulfilled if it has the Illumina glow.

Reward for Clearing A New Way to Dance

No Reward

There are no obtainable rewards for completing this request.
