How To Complete Tree Dwelling Pokemon Request In New Pokemon Snap
This Request will be completed in Founja Jungle during Jungle (Night), and it’s only a tough request to complete if you don’t know what you’re looking for, but remember: your Scan ability is there to highlight things that aren’t immediately obvious.
This Request takes place in the latter part of the course, after the Swamp area with Swampert, but before the waterfall. There’s a tree in this central section with dozens of Pokemon nests, where creatures like Pikipek and Toucannon live. You need to wake all of these birds up, and there’s only one way to do that.
As you draw closer to the tree, use your Scan ability and take a good look around. It should highlight several Pokemon names, but there’s one thing it’ll highlight that isn’t a Pokemon - and no, it’s not the Ancient Ruins on the ground. Instead, it’s a Crystalbloom.
Yes, there’s a Crystalbloom high up in the tree, next to a sleeping Toucannon, and a well-aimed Illumina Orb will hit the Crystalbloom and wake the Toucannon up, along with all of the other Pokemon in the tree.
Hit the Crystalbloom with another Illumina Orb once all of the bird Pokemon are awake, and you’ll see them all start to fly around the tree in a speedy whirl. In this moment you should snap a bunch of photographs. If you miss the up-close shot, you’ll still be able to get a shot of the Toucannon and Pikipek flying around the tree and then into the distance. Any shot of Toucannon flying around the tree should complete the Request.
This is one of the easier Requests to complete in New Pokemon Snap, but many of them are incredibly difficult. For everything you need to know about four-star pictures and Requests, make sure to take a look at our complete Requests guide.
