These New Pokemon Snap 4-Star photo interactions sometimes take several steps to unlock and are often found later in the game as you progress. For this New Pokemon Snap guide, we will discuss how to unlock these 4-Star interactions with every Pokemon.
We have guides on how to get these interactions on further islands. Check out how to get all 4-Star interactions on Maricopia and Voluca, and how to get all 4-Star interactions on Durice and Aurus.
How to Unlock Every Pokemon’s 4-Star Interactions
Capturing the Perfect Photo
First of all, to maximize your points, you’ll need to know what New Pokemon Snap is looking for in each photo. This is broken down into six categories:
Pose Size Direction Placement Other Pokemon Background
Pose is in reference to whether or not a Pokmon is doing some sort of interaction or is moving in a unique way. A good Size score comes with keeping the Pokmon within the frame as close as possible.
Direction has to do with which way the Pokmon is facing, with it looking at you giving a higher score. Placement deals with whether the target is centered in the frame.
Other Pokemon obviously is a bonus if you have additional Pokemon pictured. And finally, the Background is determined by what’s behind Pokemon in the shot.
Focusing on these categories will allow you to get better and better pictures. These pictures are graded on the following scale:
Bronze Stars: Less than 2,500 points Silver Stars: 2,500-3,500 points Gold Stars: 3,500-4,000 points Diamond Stars: 4,000+ points
Once you’ve mastered the perfect photo, you can move on to getting the right interactions to happen to maximize the number of points you can earn.
