How to Clear Undersea Ballroom Dancing

Have Clawitzer Clear the Cave Entrance

You can only fulfill this request on research level 2 of Undersea. Tentacruel and Frillish are only dancing together in the alternate route that leads to the underground ruins, and the only way you can access that route on research level 2 is by having the first Clawitzer destroy the rocks blocking the path.

Throw an Illumina orb at Clawitzer as it's about to shoot at the rocks, which will cause it to fire like a cannon instead. If Clawitzer doesn't have the Illumina glow before it shoots, it will fail to destroy the rocks and the route will be shut off from entry.

Throw an Illumina Orb at the Male Tentacruel

While descending into the underwater ruins, you will see 3 Tentacruel; 2 female and 1 male. The male Tentacruel is your target, but note this is not the same male Tentacruel from earlier in the cavern. Throw an Illumina orb at the male Tentacruel for him to join Frillish in the underwater ruins later on. Do not throw an Illumina orb at the female Tentacruel, or it will also not show up.

If you're having trouble identifying the gender, you can either scan or zoom into the Tentacruel to reveal the Pokemon's gender. The male Tentacruel, however, is always below the entrance into the hole, while the 2 female Tentacruel are always right in front of you as you enter.

Snap Tentacruel & Frillish in the Underwater Ruins

You will see a Tentacruel and a Frillish looking at each other towards the end of the underwater ruins, which is close to the endpoint of the course. They're right above a crystabloom, which you could light up with an Illumina orb for more points, but it's not required for the request. Play the Melody to make the two Pokemon dance and snap a photo of them together. Note that the main subject of the request is the energetic Tentacruel.
