Tips

• Scan often to discover alternate paths.
• Experiment with Fluffruit and Illumina Orbs on Pokémon and environmental elements.
• Pay attention to Day Time and Night Time versions of courses, as they offer different experiences and Pokémon.
• Completing LenTalk requests is a good way to earn rewards and discover new objectives.
• The guide intentionally omits specific Pokémon names and Snaps to remain spoiler-free where possible.

Completing courses and objectives earns XP, unlocks new items and abilities (Scanner, Fluffruit, Illumina Orbs, Melody Player), and progresses the story. LenTalk requests provide additional rewards like Titles and Stickers. Leveling up research points is essential for unlocking new content and pathways within courses.
