10 Things To Do In Pokémon Snap Most Players Never Discover

Some of Pokémon Snap’s most valuable photo-ops require players to use and combine the game’s mechanics in ways most players never think of.

The original Pokémon Snap for the N64 is a game where there is always something new to discover. As the player progresses, each new item they acquire opens up new solutions for previously encountered problems, and solving riddles often leads to discovering new ones. The whole game feels like a giant, interconnected puzzle box full of hidden secrets, to the point where many players still have yet to discover everything the game has to offer.

While photographing the mere 63 Pokémon included in the game isn’t a particularly challenging feat, finding the best poses, interactions, and special events require players to use and combine mechanics in interesting ways.

10 Screeching Pidgey

Pidgey is the very first Pokémon to appear in the game’s starting level, and as such seems like one of the more basic pictures to take. There are several different Pidgey appearances throughout the Beach course, however, the original encounter offers the best photo-op once the player acquires a specific item later into the game. After obtaining the Dash Engine from Professor Oak, using it right when the course begins to bump into one of the Pidgey will cause the player’s ZERO-ONE vehicle to come to stop. After a moment, all three Pidgey will line up to fly in formation behind the vehicle, and the Pidgey out in front will take a moment to flutter in place and screech. Snapping a picture of this screeching Pidgey will earn extra points for the Pokémon Report.

9 Lapras Close-Up

Lapras can be seen at three different locations on the opening Beach course, though each one is way out in the ocean. However, it is possible to get them to come up close. Simply take a picture of the first two Lapras: the first appears shortly after the pink surfboard, and the second pops up on the opposite side of the flower meadow where Scyther is hiding.

If done correctly, the cove opposite of the rolling Chansey where the third Lapras is normally seen in the distance will now have all three Lapras, with one of them being much closer than usual and perfectly positioned for a photo. Be sure to get a shot that includes the other two Lapras in the background for extra points!

8 Save Meowth

Towards the end of the Beach level, a pair of Pidgey can be seen flying around a corner. The Pidgey will then stop and use their gust attack on a Meowth that seems to be hanging out a little too close to their nest for their liking. Pictures of the attacking Pidgey and fainted Meowth will elicit special responses from Professor Oak, however, there is an alternate ending to this story. If the player hits the two Pidgey with Pokémon food or Pester Balls as they are approaching the nest, they will fly away and leave Meowth alone. This will result in Meowth doing the same elegant dance that it does when prompted with the Poké Flute.

7 Zapping Pikachu On A Stump

About mid-way through the Beach course, players will see a large patch of tall grass and flowers left with bits of grass and leaves flying into the air. Throwing a pester ball here will cause a Scyther to reveal itself, as well as prompting two Pikachu to run out of the grass and jump onto a pair of tree stumps.

Professor Oak will dub this event “Pikachu on a Stump” in the Pokémon Report. Once the player has obtained the Poké Flute later in the game, going back to this spot and playing any songs while the Pikachu are on the stumps will cause them to perform a synchronized zap attack. A perfect shot of this is worth more points than any other photo in the game, with the exception of Mew.

6 Dugtrio Trio

On the Tunnel course, a Pikachu can be seen playing with a Diglett in the room just after the one with the Zapdos egg. Taking a picture of the Diglett will cause Pikachu to run to a new spot. Snapping a photo of this second Diglett, then repeating this pattern on a third Diglett will cause Dugtrio to appear. Since the timing can be somewhat difficult on this one, most players may not realize that if they continue to take pictures of the Dugtrio, the pattern will continue and more Dugtrio will pop out of the ground. If done correctly, it is possible to have three different Dugtrio appear at once for a triple-triplet photo-op. Having multiple of one type of Pokemon in a photo always nets extra points.

5 Dancing Vulpix

Right after the Rapidash run by at the beginning of the Volcano course, a single Vulpix appears on the player’s left. As the ZERO-ONE continues moving forward, the player will go over a small hill and encounter two more Vulpix. To see a special interaction with these Vulpix, the player will need to lure the first one forward and over the hill using Pokémon food, then herd the whole trio forward. Once they reach the area directly beneath a large rock that splits the flowing lava into two streams, the three Vulpix will stand together and perform a happy dance. Taking a picture of this unique behavior will cause Professor Oak to remark that they look happy and award more points, as well as awarding more points for having three of them in the picture.

4 Porygon’s True Colors

There are multiple Porygon hidden in walls on the River stage. Once the player obtains Pester Balls, these can be thrown at the spots where Porygon’s nose is sticking out in order to cause them to jump out and reveal themselves (in fact, doing this is required to unlock the next level). When the Porygon jump out, they are covered in the texture of whatever wall they were hiding in. Professor Oak will happily accept a photo of Porygon in this state, however many players do not realize that throwing another Pester Ball at them will remove their camouflage and earn a few extra points from Professor Oak.

3 Flying Pikachu on Articuno

Pokémon Snap includes a variety of special Pikachu to photograph throughout the game, two of which can be found in the Cave course. In the area just after the Weepinbell, the player will encounter a Pikachu being held captive by a fluttering Zubat. Hitting the Zubat with a Pester Ball will free Pikachu, which will then catch itself mid-fall by deploying balloons and allow for a high-scoring “Balloon Pikachu” photo-op. However, this event can be taken even further by using the Poké Flute to hatch the Articuno egg. If both of these requirements are met, the player can face backward at the end of the level to find Pikachu riding on Articuno. Snapping a photo of this will give the player the “Flying Pikachu” pose for massive points.

2 Poké Flute Songs

Unlocking the Poké Flute allows players to go back to each of the game’s courses and experience new photo opportunities. It can be used to awaken the Snorlax on the Beach course and the Vileplume on the River course, as well as causing various Pokémon throughout the game to dance for higher-value photos. While it isn’t hard to notice that the Poké Flute has three different songs that can be cycled through by hitting the button repeatedly, what most players never realize is that certain Pokémon will do a special dance for one particular song and make for a more valuable photo. For example, the Poké Flute’s third song will prompt the best dance from Beach level’s Snorlax and the pair of Jynx in the Cave level, and the second song will get the highest-value dance from the sleeping Vileplume on the River level.

1 Alternate Credits

Unlocking the Rainbow Cloud course and successfully snapping a picture of Mew for Professor Oak will trigger the game’s credits, which consist of various photos taken by the player to scroll by on a roll of film while the developer’s names are listed. However, doing so again after having taken a picture of all 63 Pokémon in the game for the Pokémon Report will allow the player to see an alternate style of credits, this time with one the player’s picture featured in the foreground while another frames it in the background. In fact, it’s actually possible to only see these alternate credits and miss out on the original credits completely by photographing every Pokémon except for Mew before heading off to the Rainbow Cloud course for the first time.
