How To Unlock Manaphy in New Pokemon Snap
There are two methods for unlocking Manaphy; both of them require you to play the course Maricopia Reef (Evening) at Research Level 2. The first method does not allow you to get a 4 Star Photo:
- When you come to the end of Maricopia Reef, you can take an alternative route to see the Lapras.
- If you throw an Illumina Orb at the small Lapras, it will swim to it's parent.
- Once the young Lapras is with it's parent, play some music and Manaphy will jump out of the water between them.
- You can get 1,2 and 3 star photos but not 4 unfortunately.
The other method requires you to perform a few tasks before Manaphy shows up.
- As soon as the course starts, hit the swimming Vaporeon with an Illumina Orb
- Next, to your right, is a Crystalbloom on a rocky mountain; throw an Illumina Orb at it.
- You then need to find another Crystalbloom further along the course you will come to a whirlpool. Up ahead on your left will be another Crystalbloom. Throw an Illumina Orb at the Crystalbloom.
- This will now allow you to see Manaphy; you will come to the two Wailords and the right one will sink into the ocean. You will then see Manaphy playing with some Inkay
All Star Ranks Manaphy Pictures
Here is a how you get the specific Manaphy Diamond Rank Pictures for your Pokemon Photodex.
1Star
For 1 Star Diamond Manaphy get a good centered shot of Manaphy in the water swimming. The closer the better.
2 Star
2 Star Diamond Manaphy requires you to throw a Fluffruit at Manaphy and capture it looking hurt for the 2 Star Diamond.
3 Star
For 3 Star Diamond Manaphy, again throw a Fluffruit at Manaphy and get a shot of him eating it for the 3 Star Diamond. Be careful that the other Pokemon around Manaphy don't eat it first (so throw several Fluffruits!)
4 Star
To get 4 Star Diamond Manaphy you need to use the second method of getting him to show up. First throw an Illumina Orb at Manaphy and as you get closer, play some music. Manaphy will then do a jump into the air and this is where you need to get a good shot for the 4 Star photo.
Myth Of The Sea
Myth Of The Sea is a Research Title that requires you to get a shot of Manaphy in New Pokemon Snap. The rank doesn't matter.
