How to Clear Psychic Sidekick

Find the Bubbles in the River and Toss an Illumina Orb

Before reaching the first waterfall of the course, you can find a Magikarp swimming in the river. After a while, it will submerge itself underwater and make a few bubbles rise. Toss an Illumina Orb at the bubbles to make the Magikarp jump onto the shore.

Use the Scanner to Get Psyduck's Attention

Once Magikarp is on land, use the scanner to get Psyduck's attention. Psyduck will be standing next to a palm tree with a couple of Aipom. You may need to use the scanner a few times for Psyduck to notice the Magikarp.

Take a Photo of Psyduck Using Psychic

After Psyduck notices the Magikarp, it will walk towards it and start using Psychic to lift Magikarp into the air. Capture a photo of Psyduck as it uses Psychic on the Magikarp. Both Pokemon need to be in the frame to count for the request, but the focus of the shot must be on Psyduck.
