How to Clear Lurking in the Water

Make Feraligatr Dive

To make Feraligatr dive, you need to hit the Feraligatr on top of the cliffs near the start of the course with a few Fluffruit. Make sure to do this after the Pokemon has finished roaring. If Feraligatr runs away after being hit, it will come diving down from a few moments later.

The first step of this request follows the same steps as the request, Diving Spot, so these two requests can be completed simultaneously. You need to make Feraligatr dive so it will not appear later on in the course near the waterfall.

Wake Up the Sleeping Magikarp

After descending into the second area of the course, you can spot two Magikarp sleeping on the shore to the left of the giant waterfall. Play the Melody, then scan to wake both of the Magikarp and make them jump into the water.

Light Up the Waterfall

Toss an Illumina Orb at the base of the waterfall to hit the hidden Crystabloom behind it. Once the waterfall is lit up, all the Magikarp in the area will gather around near the waterfall.

Take a Photo of Gyarados

After a few moments, Gyarados will come swimming up the waterfall. Quickly take a photo of the Pokemon before it reaches the top. We recommend using Burst Mode for this request to capture the best photo of Gyarados.
