List of Pokemon in Pokemon Snap

Pokemon	Course	How to Get
Butterfree	Beach	Butterfree are found scattered around the beginning of the course. At random points they will turn around in your direction, and that is when you take a picture of one.
Lapras	Beach	At certain points Lapras will appear at the right in the sea. Pay attention to the ocean along the entire course and make sure to photograph them when they appear. You may need to retry the course several times, but eventually if all of them appear you will get the chance to photograph them all up close
Meowth	Beach	Meowth can be found making faces at you near the beginning of the course. Photograph it doing this for the maximum possible points
Doduo	Beach	Doduo can be photographed facing you using the dash engine to outrun it.
Chansey	Beach	Chansey can be found about halfway through the course as a pink ball being chased by Eevee around several boulders. Hit it with a pester ball to make it unroll so you can photograph it.
Kangaskhan	Beach	Kangaskhan can be found facing the seashore at first. Play the pokeflute to make it turn around so you can photograph it.
Scyther	Beach	Scyther can be found rustling some bushes about halfway through the course. Throw pester balls at the bushes to make it emerge.
Eevee	Beach	Eevee can be found about half way through the course running around some boulders. Photograph it as it is facing you.
Snorlax	Beach	Snorlax can also be found about halfway through the course napping. Play the pokeflute to make it dance for the maximum possible points.
Pidgey	Beach	Pidgey can be found flying around at various points in the course.
Kakuna	Tunnel	Throw an apple at an electrode to make it explode, causing many Kakuna to drop from the ceiling near the beginning of the course. Photograph at least one in the center to get the most points.
Pikachu	Beach, Tunnel, River, and Cave	Beach: Lure Pikachu over to its surfboard using Pokemon food to get a picture of surfing Pikachu. Tunnel: Photograph the Pikachu at the beginning of the course to make it roll on an electrode passing by. Photograph it this way for extra points. River: Snap a picture of the Pokemon on the logs near the end of the course. It'll get all hyper and start running around. Photograph it this way. Cave: Free Pikachu from Zubat's grasp by throwing a pester ball at it. Then wait til it reaches the egg below and play the pokeflute. If you did it correctly, Pikachu should fly on Articuno's back. Remember to photograph Pikachu here, not Articuno.
Zubat	Tunnel and Cave	There are two opportunities in the Tunnel to get close up shots of Zubat as he flies towards you through the doors located throughout the stage. There is also an opportunity to get multiple Zubats in a shot in the Cave as they fly up during the beginning of the course.
Diglett	Tunnel	Near the end of the stage Diglett and Pikachu will be communing together. Photograph them interacting for extra points.
Dugtrio	Tunnel	As you are passing the Diglett and Pikachu communing, photograph the Diglett everytime it appears, eventually making it turn into a Dugtrio farther down the course than where it started.
Magnemite	Tunnel	At the end of the course there will be many Magnemites in the same area. Stop them from avoiding your shots by using Pokemon Food.
Magneton	Tunnel	Gather three Magnemites together using Pokemon food and use the top Magnemite to center your shot. Magneton will still require Pokemon food to photograph effectively.
Haunter	Tunnel	Twice during the stage you will find floating purple orbs flying around in circles. These are actually Haunter, so photograph them while they fly towards you to get a straightforward shot.
Electrode	Tunnel	Many Electrodes are found scattered throughout the beginning of the stage. Hit one with an apple to make it explode. Photograph it during the explosion for extra points.
Electabuzz	Tunnel	Once you've reactivated the power plant, two Electabuzzes will be wandering around near the end of the stage where they were previously banging on the monitors. Lure them over with Pokemon food and photograph them.
Magikarp	Every Stage excluding the Rainbow Cloud	At any point of the stage that includes water, throw a pester ball at it to make a Magikarp appear.
Zapdos	Tunnel	About halfway through the stage you will see a giant egg. Lure the nearby Pikachu to that egg and use the pokeflute to make it shock the egg. Zapdos will soon hatch out of the egg, where you can photograph it. The Zapdos will fly over to the power generator and shock it, waking up the power plant and letting you get Electabuzz and the Tunnel's Pokemon sign.
Charmander	Volcano	Near the end of the stage you will be stopped by the Moltres egg. Normally you'd want to knock it into the lava immediately, but in this case, let it stop you and start throwing Pokemon food to the Charmanders on the left. They will start calling more and more Charmanders. Lure all of the Charmanders near you and use the Pokeflute to make them dance. Photograph them this way for the maximum possible points.
Charmeleon	Volcano	There are two opportunities to photograph Charmeleon. One is directly before the end of the stage, and the other near the middle, where you can lure a Charmander and a Magmar to the same Pokemon food and cause the Magmar to spit fire at the Charmander. This will cause the Charmander to evolve into a Charmeleon.
Charizard	Volcano	Near the end of the stage there will be a Charmeleon walking around a pool of lava. Knock the Charmeleon into the pool to evolve it into a Charizard.
Vulpix	Volcano	At various points near the beginning of the stage Vulpix will be walking around. Lure them to face you with Pokemon food for the most possible points.
Growlithe	Volcano	Near the end of the course there will be three pools of magma near each other. Throw pester balls into the pools to reveal either a Growlithe or an Arcanine.
Arcanine	Volcano	Near the end of the course there will be three pools of magma near each other. Throw pester balls into the pools to reveal either a Growlithe or an Arcanine.
Rapidash	Volcano	At the very beginning of the stage a Rapidash will speed past you. Photograph this Rapidash and two others will appear, which you can also photograph for a nice point bonus.
Magmar	Volcano	Near the end of the course, two Magmars are situated. Throw pokemon food in between them to make them fight. Photograph them in the midst of fighting for the maximum possible points.
Moltres	Volcano	Near the middle of the stage you will come upon an egg. Hit it with pokemon food to knock it into the lava and make it hatch. Photograph it facing you for the maximum possible points.
Bulbasaur	River	Near the beginning of the stage you will see Bulbasaur's bud-like back coming out of a log. Throw pester balls at the two Bulbasaurs there and use Pokemon food to lure them and get the best shot.
Metapod	River	Near the middle of the course these pod-like Pokemon can be found dangling from a tree. Hit them down with pester balls for the best shot.
Vileplume	River	Found near the middle of the stage, this Pokemon can be seen as a flower-esque object spewing out smoke. Use the pokeflute to reveal it as Vileplume.
Psyduck	River	Psyduck can be found wading in the water at several points throughout the stage. Hit them with pester balls to make them go into the water and jump up in a spectacular fashion.
Poliwag	River	Poliwag is found at the very beginning of the stage. Hit the first Polywag down and into the water to make it jump in a spectacular fashion that'll award you with extra points.
Slowpoke	River	Slowpokes are found at various points throughout the stage. Simply photograph them as you pass by.
Slowbro	River	Lure a Slowpoke over to a Shellder sign to make it fish in the water with its tail. In a few seconds, it will evolve into a Slowbro.

Cloyster	River	A single Cloyster will jump out of the water near the very end of the stage.
Porygon	River	Near the end of the course small triangle like objects moving up and down out of the cliff side. Hit them with pester balls to make two Porygons appear. Photograph them together for the maximum possible points.
Jigglypuff	Cave	At various points in the course Jigglypuffs will be carried by Koffings around you. Hit the koffings with pester balls to make them release the Jigglypuffs. You will then find the Jigglypuffs singing at the end of the stage.
Weepinbell	Cave	About halfway through the course a Weepinbell will be strolling around a pool of water. Photograph it as it is facing you.
Victreebell	Cave	Knock the previously mentioned Weepinbell into the water to make it evolve into Victreebell.
Grimer	Cave	Photograph the two Grimers to your left at the start of the course and another grimer will appear just below a ledge later on.
Muk	Cave	Hit the previously mentioned Grimer with 3-5 pester balls to make it evolve into a Muk.
Koffing	Cave	Several Koffings can be found carrying Jigglypuffs throughout the course.
Jynx	Cave	two Jynxes are found near the end of the stage brushing their hair. Use the pokeflute to get the best possible shot.
Ditto	Cave	Every Bulbasaur found during the course will turn into a Ditto when hit with a pester ball
Articuno	Cave	Articuno will hatch out of the crystal-esque egg near the end of the course once you play the pokeflute for the Jynx below. Photograph it as hovers above the egg and makes a show for the best possible point value.
Squirtle	Valley	Knock the shells at the beginning of the course onto dry land and use the pokeflute for the best possible shot.
Sandshrew	Valley	Knocking down the Geodudes clinging onto various walls in the course will make these Pokemon appear and allow you to photograph them.
Sandslash	Valley	Knocking down Gravellers will make these Pokemon appear out of the ground.

Geodude	Valley	Geodudes can be found throughout the course clinging onto walls. Hit them down with pester balls for the best possible shot.
Graveler	Valley	Near the beginning of the course you will find two Geodudes hanging onto a wall with a Graveler up above them. Hit down the two Geodudes to knock down the Graveler and get the best shot.
Goldeen	Valley	Throw a pester ball into the water near the beginning of the course to make Goldeen jump out.
Staryu	Valley	A Staryu will begin flying around you as you descend deeper into the Valley. Spam photographs to get a decent shot.
Starmie	Valley	Eventually, all the Staryus will combine into a Starmie and fly away. Photograph the Starmie as it flies away.
Gyarados	Valley	Near the beginning of the stage you will see a Magikarp jumping out of the water. Hit the place where it jumps with a pester ball to make it jump out and flop towards a nearby Mankey who will punch it away. Later on in the course, near a waterfall, look to your left to see the very same Magikarp. Hit it again to make it go into the nearby waterfall and evolve into Gyarados.
Dratini	Valley	Near the whirlpool at the end of the stage you can throw a pester ball into the water and a Dratini will appear.
Dragonite	Valley	Throw pester balls into the actual whirlpool at the end of the stage to make Dragonite appear.
Mew	Rainbow Cloud	After you have collected all of the Pokémon Signs you will be granted access to the Rainbow Cloud. There is only 1 Pokemon in the Rainbow Cloud, and that is Mew. Basically the key to this is to hit the bubble with pester balls or Pokemon food whenever the chance arises. After a suitable amount of times broken, Mew will turn around and look at you when she is chasing her bubble. Photograph Mew then for the most possible points.
