Score 175,000 Points in Pokémon Snap

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're trying to unlock something cool by hitting a whopping 175,000 points in the Pokémon Report? That sounds like a big number, but don't sweat it! This isn't about getting a perfect score on every single Pokémon, but rather about knowing which ones give you the most bang for your buck and how to get those sweet bonus points. Think of it as a high-score challenge across a few key Pokémon. We'll go through some of the best candidates for racking up points, focusing on those tricky bonus poses and how to set them up.

Walkthrough

1
Bulbasaur (River, Cave): These little guys are great for early points. To get a really high score, you'll want to get a picture of one eating an apple. The best way to do this is to hit the Bulbasaur on the stump to your left at the start of the River course with a Pester Ball. Then, toss an Apple near the log on the ground – another Bulbasaur will pop out. Lure both close to you with more Apples, and snap a pic of one munching an apple while the other is nearby. Aim for a close-up!
2
Charmander (Volcano): When you reach the Moltres egg area in the Volcano course, don't go for the egg just yet. Look to your left. Toss an apple to the Charmander on the ground. It'll call two more from over the cliff. Keep feeding them apples until you have about six. Get them all close to the edge of the platform, then snap a pic of the one in the middle as it eats an apple you toss. Again, close-ups are key here.
3
Charmealon (Volcano): Near the exit of the Volcano stage, you'll see a Charmealon chilling by a lava pool. Wait for it to get close to you and take a close-up shot. For a bonus, you can hit it with a Pester Ball to knock it into the lava, which makes it evolve into Charizard.
4
Charizard (Volcano): This one builds on the Charmealon. After it evolves into Charizard, hit it with a Pester Ball. It'll spin around to face you, then unleash its Flamethrower. Get a picture *while* it's breathing fire for a big bonus!
5
Squirtle (Valley): Start of the Valley course, look into the water to your left. You'll see three shells moving. Wait for them to line up with the shore, then hit them with Pester Balls one by one. They'll pop out. Lure one to the edge of the shore and get a close-up shot, with the other two in the background for a nice score.
6
Metapod (River): This one's a bit tricky. Under the tree with all the Metapods, wait until you're under the second one. Hit the fourth Metapod with a Pester Ball, then wait to be stopped by it. Turn around and hit the other three with Pester Balls. Hit the fourth one again so it goes back up into the tree. As you start moving again, turn around and get a group shot of the three hanging Metapods.
7
Butterfree (Beach): Just past the surfboard, you'll see a Butterfree. Get a close-up when it comes near the track. Even better, aim for the pair near Snorlax – you'll get a bonus for photographing two at once, even if they don't get quite as close.
