As shown in the above image, you can throw the orbs to where the red circle is located.

Vivillon appears after successfully throwing the orb

If done correctly, a Vivillon should emerge from the rock formation. If it does not appear, restart the course and try again.

3. Throw Illumina Orbs at the Four Carbinks

Once you reach the last area of the course, throw Illumina Orbs at the four Carbinks. You need to throw a lot these orbs to hit some of them that are hiding behind the ruins.

The four Carbinks will move at a particular location

If done correctly, all four Carbinks should emerge from their hiding spots and gather in a specific formation as shown in the above image.

4. Play the Melody

Point the reticule at one of the Carbinks and play the Melody. The Pokemon will dance on the spot and eventually, Diancie will appear from one of the ruins.

5. Throw an Illumina Orb at Diancie

Throw an Illumina Orb at Diancie and wait until the Pokemon starts to create a gem.

Position Yourself Behind Diancie and Carbink

6. Take a Photo of the Carbink and Diancie

Wait for Diancie to destroy the pink gem and take a photo of it along with the Carbink reacting and dancing to it to complete the request.
