On Research Level 2, observe the left side of the beginning of the course, and you'll see a sand tornado approach a resting Cacnea. Be prepared to follow this Cacnea with your camera since it will be whisked up into the air by this tornado.

Snap a Photo of Cacnea Mid-Air

To complete this request you'll need a photo of Cacnea while he is mid-air. It's gonna be tricky since he'll only be in airborne for a short while, and he'll be moving quickly too. Thankfully it's at the start of the course so you can just retry between attempts.

Reward for Clearing The Flying Cacnea
