New Pokemon Snap Blushing Beach Guide

The one level in New Pokemon Snap that is probably super close to the original game's namesake, the Blushing Beach is a relaxing little area that makes up for its short length with some pretty nice scenery and some cool hidden photo opportunities.

You unlock the night version of the beach later in the game when you unlock RL 2 of the Night version of Shivering Snowfields. The night version is full of surprises as well, so be sure to check out both on your playthrough.

Throw a flufffruit at the Sandygast to spook the Octillery and take photos as he's running into the water.

A group of Finneon is towards the end of the beach path. You need to spook the Octillery by waking up a nearby Sandygast with the scan and food. Once you do, Octillery will run away, causing a bunch of Finneon to jump high into the air as it passes.

It will stretch itself out, giving you a photo opportunity that will net you 4 stars.You can If you also have the Seviper and Zangoose in the same space, the two will fight each other. When Seviper’s tail clashes with Zangoose’s claws, its when to snap a photo for 4 stars.

Primarina RL 2

At the start of the stage there is a Primarina on a far rock, out in the ocean. You will have to hit with an illumina orb to get it to swim off it before it leaves on its own.

Octillery RL 2
