How to Clear Red-Hot Energy

Take the Alternate Route in the Cave

When you enter the cave, use your scanner to find the alternate route and take it. If you are doing this request in Research Level 2, you do not need to select this route since it is the only path you can take.

Toss Illumina Orbs at the Two Charmander

As you go through the alternate route, you will eventually find a large lava pit with two Charmander at the bottom. Toss Illumina Orbs at both Charmander. Take a short pause before proceeding to the next step. Going too fast may cause the next step to fail.

Make Graveler Fall

Once both Charmander are glowing, look upwards and you will find a Graveler on the wall next to a hole on the ceiling. Toss Fluffruit at the Graveler to make it crash down into the lava pit.

Capture a Photo of Charizard

Prepare your camera as the three Pokemon investigate the crash site. After a few moments, Charizard should come bursting through the lava pit. Quickly take photos of the Pokemon before it flies away.
