Achieving truly high scores requires more than just snapping photos. It involves understanding Professor Oak's scoring criteria and manipulating Pokémon for optimal shots. Here are some advanced strategies:
- Centering: Always try to get the Pokémon perfectly in the center of your frame for the 'Technique' bonus.
- Size: Get as close as possible. Luring Pokémon with Apples or provoking them with Pester Balls can bring them closer.
- Pose: Look for unique actions. A dancing Pikachu, an attacking Magmar, or a sleeping Snorlax are worth more than a static pose.
- Multiple Pokémon: If two Pokémon are interacting or in the same frame, especially if they're rare, it can significantly boost your score.
- Special Interactions: Certain events, like the Electrode chain reaction or hatching Moltres, grant 'Special' bonuses. Learn these sequences.
- Item Usage: Don't be shy with your items. Apples can lure, Pester Balls can provoke, and the Flute can animate. Experiment!
Replay courses multiple times, focusing on one or two Pokémon at a time to perfect your shots.
