- New Pokemon Snap all pokemon: Use course, time, and route filters to organize every Photodex target.
- Research Levels: Revisit courses because higher levels change encounters, positions, and behaviors.
- Best method: Photograph every species first, then return for missing star categories and better scores.
- Key tools: Scan, Fluffruit, Illumina Orbs, and Melody reveal hidden encounters and reactions.
- Completion goal: Track day, night, Illumina Spot, alternate-route, and postgame sightings separately.
How the All Pokémon List Works
New Pokemon Snap all pokemon coverage is easiest to manage by course rather than by a single alphabetical list. The Lental Region places Pokémon across islands, research routes, day and night versions, Illumina Spots, underwater sections, and alternate paths. A species may also change position or behavior after a course reaches a higher Research Level.
The Photodex records behavior categories separately from numerical photo quality. A one-star photograph and a four-star photograph can represent different collection goals for the same species, while the score determines how strong the submitted image is.
Course Encounters
- Primary location: Find Pokémon by island and research course.
- Day, night, underwater, and Illumina variants can change the available encounters.
Research Levels
- Progression key: Repeat expeditions to raise a course level.
- New positions, interactions, routes, and behaviors can appear later.
Photodex Goals
- Collection focus: Record species and behavior stars separately.
- Improve framing after filling missing entries.
| Tracking Category | What to Record | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Island | Florio, Belusylva, Maricopia, Voluca, Durice, or Aurus | Narrows the search area |
| Course | Nature Park, Jungle, Reef, Volcano, or another route | Identifies the exact expedition |
| Variant | Day, night, underwater, Illumina, or alternate path | Encounter conditions can change |
| Research Level | Current course level or MAX progress | Higher levels reveal new opportunities |
| Photo Star | One-star through four-star behavior | Separates common and rare actions |
Do not replace a missing behavior entry with repeated high-score shots from the same category. Fill the missing star first, then improve its rating.
New Pokemon Snap Pokémon Location Index
The following course index organizes the major Pokémon encounters documented across the Lental Region. It is designed as a starting point for a full Photodex route, not as a replacement for checking every research level and alternate path.

| Island | Course | Variant | Pokémon Encounters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voluca | Sweltering Sands | Day/Night | Skorupi, Cacnea, Mandibuzz, Onix, Lycanroc |
| Voluca | Fireflow Volcano | Day | Altaria, Archeops, Monferno, Tyrantrum, Charmander, Slugma |
| Durice | Shiver Snowfields | Day/Night | Swinub, Cubchoo, Beartic, Snom, Frosmoth, Weavile, Piplup, Vanilluxe |
| Aurus | Ruins of Remembrance | Ruins | Houndoom, Eldegoss, Natu, Noivern, Salandit, Chandelure, Golurk |
Use the index in layers:
- Start with the course name and complete one normal expedition.
- Revisit the same course after raising its Research Level.
- Check the opposite time variant when available.
- Search alternate paths with the Scan function.
- Return to Illumina Spots after unlocking the correct regional tool.
A Pokémon listed for a course may not appear on every run. Research Level, route selection, time variant, and interaction timing can all affect what appears in front of the NEO-ONE.
Step-by-Step Photodex Route
A reliable all-Pokémon run prioritizes coverage before score chasing. Photographing a species once gives you a reference point, while repeated expeditions reveal the conditions needed for higher-star behaviors and stronger evaluations.
Clear the Main Course Routes
Begin with the standard courses across Florio, Belusylva, Maricopia, Voluca, Durice, and Aurus. Take several photographs of each visible species instead of focusing on one target for the entire expedition.
Submit One Photo Per Species
After each expedition, choose the clearest photograph for Professor Mirror to evaluate. Prioritize a visible subject, a useful pose, and a reasonable distance from the camera.
Raise Research Levels
Continue earning Expedition Points on individual courses. Higher Research Levels can move Pokémon, introduce new interactions, and open opportunities that were unavailable during the first visit.
Use Tools on Unusual Targets
Scan suspicious route features, throw Fluffruit near Pokémon, activate Crystablooms with Illumina Orbs, and use Melody around sleeping or inactive Pokémon.
Revisit Variants and Alternate Paths
Repeat day, night, underwater, Illumina, and alternate-route expeditions. Compare your Photodex after every run so you can target missing species or behavior stars.
| Expedition Objective | Recommended Action | Common Result |
|---|---|---|
| Find a new species | Explore the full camera view and watch elevated areas | Adds a new Photodex subject |
| Improve a common photo | Wait for a closer, front-facing pose | Raises size, direction, and placement |
| Trigger a reaction | Combine a tool with the environment | Creates a different behavior category |
| Search a hidden route | Scan at junctions and unusual landmarks | Reveals alternate course sections |
| Complete a rare entry | Revisit with higher Research Level | Unlocks stronger or less common behaviors |
Every new tool is also a reason to revisit older courses. Earlier routes often contain Pokémon behaviors that become accessible only after additional research equipment is available.
Star Ratings, Scores, and Special Encounters
The star category describes what the Pokémon is doing, while the numerical score evaluates how well the photograph captures that behavior. Treat these as separate objectives when planning your Photodex route.
| Goal | What to Capture | Useful Tools or Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| One-star entry | Normal movement, resting, or routine behavior | Basic camera positioning |
| Two-star entry | A reaction or simple interaction | Fluffruit, nearby Pokémon, course timing |
| Three-star entry | A less common action or environmental response | Higher Research Level, Scan, tools |
| Four-star entry | A distinctive signature behavior | Multi-step interactions, rare timing |
| Strong score | Large, centered, camera-facing subject | Careful positioning and repeated shots |
For stronger photo scores, focus on:
- Pose: Capture the peak of an animation rather than the beginning.
- Size: Wait until the Pokémon is close enough to occupy a clear portion of the frame.
- Direction: Shoot when the subject faces toward the NEO-ONE.
- Placement: Keep the main subject inside a balanced part of the composition.
- Other Pokémon: Include additional subjects when they support the scene without blocking the target.
- Background: Use flowers, Crystablooms, water, ruins, or other recognizable scenery.
Illumina Orbs are especially useful for special encounters. They can activate glowing Crystablooms, produce reactions from compatible Pokémon, and support story or route interactions. In many situations, the best result comes from combining an Illumina Orb with Scan, Fluffruit, or Melody rather than using one tool alone.
All Pokémon Tracking Checklist:
- Record each species by island and course
- Check day, night, underwater, and Illumina variants
- Raise course Research Levels and revisit older routes
- Use Scan, Fluffruit, Illumina Orbs, and Melody on unusual encounters
- Fill missing star categories before optimizing photo scores
A rare four-star behavior can still receive a modest numerical score. Keep the behavior entry, then return later to improve size, pose, direction, placement, and background.
FAQ: New Pokemon Snap All Pokémon
Q: How should I find all Pokémon in New Pokémon Snap?
Search by island and course first, then separate day, night, Illumina, underwater, and alternate-route variants. Raise Research Levels and revisit older courses because Pokémon positions and behaviors can change.
Q: Does every Pokémon appear at the same Research Level?
No. Some species or behaviors become easier to find at higher Research Levels, while others depend on a time variant, route branch, Illumina Spot, or a specific interaction.
Q: Do four-star photos count as different Pokémon?
No. The star category describes a behavior for the same species. The Photodex can track multiple behavior categories, so a four-star photograph is an additional collection goal rather than a separate species.
Q: What tools help complete the Photodex?
Scan reveals points of interest and alternate paths. Fluffruit changes positioning or reactions, Illumina Orbs activate glowing effects, and Melody can wake or animate certain Pokémon.
