Pokémon appearances

No.	Pokémon	Research Level	Stars	Description
001	Vivillon	1		A Poké Ball Pattern Vivillon is hidden behind greenery behind the parked NEO-ONEs. The Vivillon will only appear when the course starts at the laboratory sign. To reveal the Vivillon, the Dedenne sleeping on top of one of the NEO-ONEs must first be awoken with a fluffruit. A trail of fluffruit can then lead the Dedenne to the bushes behind, and Vivillon will appear from these bushes.
			★★★★	Any photo of Vivillon will yield a ★★★★ photo.
029	Eevee	1		Eevee appears sleeping inside the laboratory building when the course is commenced by the laboratory sign. If the course starts closer to the laboratory main building, Eevee will appear outside on a table with Trubbish. If a fluffruit interrupts Trubbish, it will attack Eevee with Poison Gas, and Eevee will hop off the table and roam around the middle of the grounds.
			★★★★	If the course is commenced by the laboratory sign, Eevee will appear inside the building. Once inside the building, both Stoutland and Eevee can be illuminated with an Illumina orb and the scan function used to wake both up. Scanning again by the TV will cause three Cutiefly to appear. Illuminating the Cutiefly will cause Eevee to chase them around Stoutland. Illuminating Eevee will then allow Eevee to sit down on its hind legs.
030	Pikachu	1		Pikachu can be found in the middle of the course if the route is begun at the laboratory sign. It will then run across close to the parked NEO-ONEs. When the course is started closer to the main building, Pikachu can be seen closer to the laboratory sign by the watering trough. Pikachu may spark electricity at times.
			★★★★	When the course starts by the laboratory sign, Pikachu will eventually make its way closer to the parked NEO-ONEs. Using a trail of fluffruit to bring it closer will prompt Pikachu to jump on top on the closest NEO-ONE. Illuminating it with an Illumina orb causes Pikachu to perform a series of poses and actions.
031	Cutiefly	1		Several Cutiefly can be found along the course. If the course is commenced close to the main building, the Cutiefly appear by the flowers close to the laboratory sign. If the course is begun at the sign outside, the Cutiefly can instead be found near the flowers outside the main building, as well as hidden behind the TV inside the laboratory.
			★★★★	The course can be commenced by the laboratory and Cutiefly found close to the laboratory sign. One of the Cutiefly in the flower field can be interrupted with a fluffruit and Illumina orb. Playing a melody causes it to fly up and perform a series of poses.
032	Bunnelby	1		A Bunnelby appears hidden inside some holes which have been dug into the ground if the course is commenced by the building. If the course is started at the laboratory sign, it will instead be found in the middle of the grounds, and will eventually make its way to some upright logs and begin hopping on top of them.
			★★★★	When Bunnelby is hidden within the ground, an Illumina orb and a fluffruit can be thrown in succession. Bunnelby will jump out with mighty force.
033	Stoutland	1		Stoutland can be seen close to the parked NEO-ONEs outside if the course is commenced by the laboratory. If the course is started by the sign, it will instead be found sleeping inside the house.
			★★★★	Stoutland when found outside the laboratory can be fed two fluffruit. After this, it will make its way to the middle of the grounds. Eevee can also be found on a table with a Trubbish. Interrupting the Trubbish with a fluffruit causes it to attack Eevee with Poison Gas. Eevee will jump off the table and make its way to the middle of the course, and a trail of fluffruit can bring Stoutland and Eevee closer together. Once they begin interacting, throwing an Illumina orb at Stoutland causes it to run around the Eevee.
034	Starly	1		Starly can be found throughout the course. They may be perched on houses, walking amongst the grass, and flying in the air.
			★★★★	When the course is commenced at the laboratory sign, two Starly can be found close to the smaller external buildings. When two fluffruit are fed to any of these two Starly, it will give a unique pose after eating.
035	Meowth	1		A sleeping Meowth appears near the parked NEO-ONEs if the course is commenced close to the main building. If the course is started at the laboratory sign, Meowth will be hidden on the second floor inside the laboratory, and can be lured out with fluffruit.
			★★★★	The sleeping Meowth close to the NEO-ONEs can be awoken by throwing a fluffruit at it. A trail of fluffruit towards the main building will prompt Meowth to chase out a Rattata hidden underneath the building. Once it has been chased out, Meowth will walk around the opposite side of the course. If it is fed two fluffruit, it will begin rolling around on the ground. Alternatively, instead of feeding fluffruit, a trail of fluffruit can lead the Meowth to a nearby Sudowoodo. It will attack Sudowoodo with its claws, also yielding a ★★★★ photo.
036	Audino	1		Audino appears inside the main building if the course starts at the laboratory. If the course is commenced at the sign outside, it will appear close to the watering trough.
			★★★★	If the course is commenced at the laboratory sign, Audino will appear next to the watering trough. Once a Cutiefly next to the main building is fed a fluffruit, it will make its way across to this Audino. A melody will cause Audino to dance with the Cutiefly, and illuminating Audino with an Illumina orb will allow Audino to display special dance moves.
037	Rattata	1		Rattata is hidden under the main building if the course is commenced closer to the laboratory. It can be lured out by bringing Meowth closer to the building with a trail of fluffruit. If the course starts at the laboratory sign, Rattata will be beside the campfire with Trubbish. It will be happy if the fire is stoked further with an Illumina orb.
			★★★★	Once the course is commenced by the laboratory sign, a crystabloom close to the Sudowoodo on the right of the path can be activated. If Sudowoodo is close enough, it will also be illuminated and begin to march off to the middle of the grounds. Rattata and Trubbish will follow. Playing a melody when all three have gathered will cause them to dance.
038	Trubbish	1		Trubbish is hidden under a desk inside the laboratory if the course is commenced closer to the main building. If the course starts at the laboratory sign, Trubbish will be beside the campfire with Rattata. It will be happy if the fire is stoked further with an Illumina orb.
			★★★★	Once the course is commenced by the laboratory sign, a crystabloom close to the Sudowoodo on the right of the path can be activated. If Sudowoodo is close enough, it will also be illuminated and begin to march off to the middle of the grounds. Rattata and Trubbish will follow. Playing a melody when all three have gathered will cause them to dance. At least one of the other two Pokémon must be present in the photo to be counted as ★★★★.
039	Sudowoodo	1		Sudowoodo appears hiding behind the laboratory sign if the course is commenced close to the main building. It will move closer to the main path if the Ratatta is chased from under the building by Meowth. If the course is commenced at the laboratory sign, Sudowoodo will be beside a crystabloom just passed the campfire.
			★★★★	Once the course is commenced by the laboratory sign, a crystabloom close to the Sudowoodo on the right of the path can be activated. If Sudowoodo is close enough, it will also be illuminated and begin to march off to the middle of the grounds. Rattata and Trubbish will follow. Playing a melody when all three have gathered will cause them to dance.
040	Dedenne	1		Dedenne appears inside the laboratory if the course is commenced by the main building. If the course is commenced at the sign outside, it will be sleeping on one of the parked NEO-ONEs.
			★★★★	A trail of fluffruit can be used to bring Dedenne inside the laboratory towards the TV. Once close enough to the TV, it will discharge electricity.
