Pokémon Snap is the latest sensation for Pokémon fans. This game continues the original 1999 concept where you took photos of the various Pokémon you encountered. The difference now is that there are over 200 Pokémon, and the number of Legendary Pokémon has also increased. If you want to know where to find them, keep reading.
A photo hunt for Pokémons
Pokémon Snap for Nintendo Switch isn't a typical game within the series, although some may recognize it from the original Nintendo 64 version from years ago. And it's those fans who have truly made this new version possible, as they've maintained interest in the series for so long.
If you didn't play it at the time or if you directly had no idea of its existence, the truth is that you should give it a try now that you can on the company's latest portable console. Because whoever is playing it is really enjoying its dynamics and the rhythm it prints. So much so that there are already those who compare it with the relaxing experience of Animal Crossing.
Still, let's say you don't know exactly what Pokémon Snap is about. Well, if you haven't heard or read anything about it, it's a game where you have to go through different areas in search of pokémons. But not to capture them with the pokeballs but with your camera.
Yes, this is a photographic game where the objective is to obtain the maximum number of snapshots of each and every one of those who inhabit the area where you are going to move. And they will not be few, because if there are 200 different pokémons, each of them offers four unique poses. So doing a quick calculation, at least you would have to take 1200 photos.
Of course it will not be easy to take photos of everyone, especially the legendary pokémons. These will be somewhat more hidden, but we will help you in case you ever want to take the fast lane. Something that we do not recommend, especially if you have just started playing. Because some details of the story may be revealed to you ahead of time. So here you decide, whether to continue and know some spoilers or leave this article in bookmarks for when you need it in the future.
Where are the 10 legendary Pokémon Snap
Let's say you've decided to move forward. You love the idea of exploring every corner of the area in search of new Pokémon and the occasional legendary creature, but if you don't have much patience or you're missing one that you can't find no matter how hard you look, then you'll definitely be interested in learning how to find the 10 legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Snap.
xerneas
This legendary Pokémon appears upon completing the journey. It's the last boss fight in the game, so all you have to do is invest the necessary time to finish it. Once done, you can take out your camera and take as many photos of it as you want when you find it in the Lúmini area of the Custody Ruins.
Shaymin
Shaymin is a hedgehog-shaped Pokémon that you can find in the Floreo Natural Park, although it will have to be at night. For it to come out you have to shoot orbs on the two lumini orbs that you will find in two hidden places.
Mew
Mew is found in the Leafy Jungle at night as well. You will have to play music with the music box until you see how it starts to appear, that will be the moment in which you should hit it with a Fluffruit and walk fast to get a photograph of it.
Jirachi
Finding Jirachi doesn't seem to be difficult if you know where to look. The first thing is to finish the game, once done go to the Custody Ruins and there you will see almost at the beginning of the same as Jirachi is above.
Lugia
Getting a picture of Lugia isn't impossible, but it does require a bit more effort than many other Legendary Pokémon. To begin with, you will need to go to the Lensis Pit. Once you're there, go through the path that opens when Clawitzer knocks over a rock after throwing an orb at it. As you go down you will see that some flyers that at some point will begin to chase and catch a Lanturn that will appear. When you free him by throwing an orb at them, he will thank you by showing you a new path that will take you to Lugia, who will be sleeping peacefully.
Ho-oh
Getting a photo of Ho-oh won't be easy, because this singular Pokémon doesn't always appear in a specific place, but tends to be seen randomly at different points of the Laviscoso Volcano. So you will have to be very attentive so as not to lose the opportunity to hunt it, although if you want some extra help it is likely that you will find a Crystabloom on a cliff and next to it a Charmander hanging. There it may be easier for you to find the legendary.
Celebi
Celebi may be one of the easier Legendary Pokémon, but you do need to have the right level of Research for it to appear. If so, you will only have to go from one side of the Changing Forest to the area without fog. There you should see it go by, so all you have to do is be attentive to shoot your camera.
Suicune
Another of the legendary pokémons that you will have a hard time finding is Suicune, although it is not impossible if you follow the steps. You basically have to go to Valle Algente during the day. There you will have to chase an Alolan Sandslash that will open a new path. Take a picture of him to make him run away and see how a sand bar appears to the left and above the bartic. When you return to it, it should dig a hole that opens a new path leading to both versions of the stage.
That's it, all you have to do is return to said stage at night and take the path that has been opened. In it you will find a Crabominable, shoot an orb at it so that it hits a tree that will make an Abomasnow appear. With its movements, this Pokémon will make a Frosslass fly and when you take a photo of it, a secret path will open.
Once you exit the cave, on the left you will see a Jynx riding an Avalugg, throw an orb at them and that will be when they then sell Suicune. Complicated? Well, it seems a bit confusing, but with a bit of order it can be done for sure.
Diancie
If you want to take a corresponding photo of Diancie, go to Cavern Quimbamba. When you get to the end of the level, in the crystal room, look down and you'll see two Carbinks and a Mawlie. Hit each of them with an orb and Diancie will come out.
manaphy
Finally, with the game already overcome, it will be when a final night raid of the Miriadis Reef will be unlocked. It will be there when you will have the opportunity to hit the Lapras that appear and that will cause Manaphy to appear jumping out of the water and dancing.
