New Pokemon Snap: All Legendary Pokemons and Location Guide

10 Legendary Pokemons & Where To Find Them

There are a total of TEN Legendary (or Mythical) Pokemons in New Pokemon Snap. The Legendary Pokemons can be spotted in a particular area, at a particular time (day or night) and they spawn at a particular research level.  

1. MEW

    • Visit Jungle (Night) at research level 2. 
    • As soon as you start the course turn around and play the melody. 
    • Mew will appear (inside a pink sphere) and will follow you.
    • Hit the pink sphere with a fluffruit. The sphere will vanish giving you an opportunity to photograph Mew.
    • Take the photo quickly because in a couple of seconds Mew will disappear as well.

2. SUICUNE

    • Visit Snowfields (Day) at research level 2. 
    • You’ll see a Sandslash at the very beginning on top of the mountain (to the left). Take its photo. 
    • Keep moving forward and the Sandslash will re-emerge on top of another mountain (to the left). Take another photo. 
    • Then Sandslash will then appear in front of you (on the path) and will enter into a snow-wall. Analyze the snow wall to unlock the new path. 
    • Now, visit Snowfields at Night (level 2) and enter the new path you unlocked during the day. 
    • Hit the Crabominable with Illumina Orb. It will cross the street and come to your left. 
    • Hit the Crabominable with another Orb and it will throw some snow on the Abomisnow. Abomisnow will start a blizzard after which a Froslass will come out. 
    • Follow the Fosslass. It will go into another snow-wall. 
    • Analyse the snow-wall to unlock a new path and then choose that path (at night). 
    • You’ll see a Jynx on a snow-boat, on the water to your right. Hit the Jynx with Orb to make it Glow. 
    • This glow will summon the Legendary Suicune.  You’ll see it running over the water.

3. LUGIA

    • Reach Undersea at research level 3.
    • You’ll notice that a Clawitzer breaks open a new path (with its water gun attack) to your right.
    • Take the new path and go deeper into the sea.
    • On your way down you’ll see a Lanturn. Hit it with Illumina Orb to make it swim deeper.
    • Follow the Lanturn. After a while, it will be attacked by two Frillish.
    • Hit the Lanturn with Illumina Orb. It will then be able to break itself free (from the Frillish) and will lead you to the very bottom of the seafloor.
    • At the bottom of the seafloor, press the X-button (to analyze) and you’ll notice a new path has been unlocked to the right. Enter the new path and head forward into Lugia’s den.
    • You’ll notice Lugia sleeping on the right side. Throw Illumina Orb at the nearby Crystalbloom and you’ll be all set for the Lugia pic.
