Face towards the left of the shore line at the Beach level and watch it closely. Take a photograph of the Lapras whenever they appear, no matter what the quality. When approaching the Kangaskan, look towards the water and a Lapras will emerge from the water. This is the best place to photograph the Lapras in the level.

Magneton

Throw apples at each of the three Magnemites in the Tunnel level to lure them together and evolve into Magneton.

Meowth

Play the Poké Flute in front of Meowth in the Beach level to make it dance for a better photograph.

While you are at the end of the Beach level there are two Pidgey flying after Meowth. Watch them as they go off to the right side, as they will execute a gust attack to knock Meowth down. Hit the Pidgey with apples and they will fly away, leaving Meowth to dance for a photograph worth more points.

Metapod

Throw Pester Balls at the Metapods in the Cave level and they will drop down for a close-up.

Mew

Use the following technique to get an easier photograph of Mew. Once in the Rainbow level, pop Mew's energy shield by throwing Pester Balls at it. Then, use the Dash Engine to keep up with Mew for a minute, then snap away when he turns around to look at you. This must be done quickly before he returns inside the energy shield.

Another technique is to hit Mew with a Pester Ball while it is chasing the energy shield. It will start spinning in place for a few seconds before disappearing. To keep it from disappearing, keep throwing Pester Balls at it. Do this through the whole level to keep Mew in front of you the entire time.

After the second time Mew flies at you in its energy shield, turn your camera to the left and up slightly. When Mew flies by it immediately does flips. Take a close-up of it in the classic curl position while its whole body is towards you, with the light behind it. This results in a photograph worth over 8000 points.

Moltres

Go to the Volcano level and follow the path until reaching an egg in the middle of the road. Then, throw an apple at the egg to make it fall into the lava and Moltres will appear. Note: Wait for it to face you for additional points.

Pikachu

Play the Poké Flute in front of Pikachu in the Beach level to have it use a Thundershock attack for a better photograph.

Throw a Pester Ball at the Zubat that is carrying Pikachu in the Cave level. Pikachu will come down attached to balloons. Next, it will run over to where Articuno is found. Release Articuno with the Poké Flute. Then when approaching the end of the level, look behind to see Pikachu riding on Articuno.

Throw apples towards the Surf Board in the Beach level immediately after seeing Pikachu to have it pose on the board, including backflips.

After flushing Scyther out in the Beach level, two Pikachu will dash out and jump up on stumps. Play the Poké Flute and they will start zapping. The photo of Pikachu on a stump with a Thundershock is worth a lot of extra points.

Take a photograph of the first Pikachu that appears at the beginning of the Tunnel level. He will run backwards. Take another picture of the Pikachu and he will jump on Electrode. Take a photograph of that scene for extra points.

Get a photograph of Pikachu on a ball for 500 extra points. Get a photograph of surfing Pikachu for 900 extra points. Get a photograph of Pikachu on a stump for 2500 extra points.

Rapidash

After the first Rapidash runs by on the Volcano level, two more will appear on the right. Throw an apple at them and they will start reigning. You can get more points for your photograph while they are on their hind legs, because of their size, and since there are two of them.

Sandshrew

Hit a Geodude down with a Pester Ball in the Valley level and Sandshrew will appear from the ground.

Sandslash

Look towards the first Mankey near the beginning of the Valley level. Something that resembles a Kadabra will appear further down the level. It is actually a Sandslash. Take a photograph of it when it goes into the ground for more points.

Slowpoke

Throw apples near the wooden Shellder sign in the River level to attract a group of Slowpokes.

Snorlax

Play the Poké Flute in front of Snorlax in the Beach level to wake it up for a better photograph.

Squirtle

Zapdos

Go to the Tunnel level. Then just after the first door you will see a Pikachu next to a large egg in the distance. Throw some apples to lure the Pikachu closer to the egg. When Pikachu gets close enough, play the Poké Flute. Pikachu will start a Thundershock attack and zap the egg. The egg will hatch and Zapdos will appear. Note: You will need Zapdos to shock the generator if you want the Pokémon sign.

Zubat

Every time a steel door opens in the Tunnel level, a Zubat will appear.
