Emerging from the Ground
Start River (Day) at Research Level 3 and pass through the area with the sleeping Swampert and Quagsire. Look for the Crystabloom on the right and throw an Illumina Orb at it. Wait for the two Toucannons to arrive on your left and play the Melody.
After playing the Melody, two Drilburs will emerge from the ground to strike a pose. Zoom in and take a photo of one of the Drilburs striking a pose in midair to obtain its 4 Star Photo.
