The cause of the Illumina phenomenon is ultimately unknown. Professor Mirror initially hypothesizes that it was caused by the Tellur Meteorite that descended on the Lental region 2000 years prior to the events of [[New Pokémon Snap]]. However, murals in the [[Outaway Cave]] and [[Ruins of Remembrance]] indicate that the Illumina Pokémon existed before then, and they were responsible for warding off the disaster that the meteor would have caused. | The cause of the Illumina phenomenon is ultimately unknown.

100 years prior to the events of the game, an explorer named Captain Vince encountered an Illumina Pokémon as a child; he thereafter endeavoured to meet the other Illumina Pokémon, recording his experiences in the Lental Travelogue. | 100 years prior to the events of the game, an explorer named Captain Vince encountered an Illumina Pokémon as a child; he thereafter endeavoured to meet the other Illumina Pokémon, recording his experiences in the Lental Travelogue. | ||

The Illumina phenomenon causes Pokémon and [[Crystabloom]] flowers to emit a glow. While glowing, a Pokémon is said to be in the '''Illumina state'''. For Pokémon, this increases the quality of photos taken while in Illumina state, as judged by Professor Mirror; for Crystablooms, only a bloom in Illumina state is eligible for judgement. Crystablooms in the Illumina state will also affect Pokémon within a certain radius, or those that interact with the flowers. Initially, the phenomenon can only be witnessed under its natural occurrence; select Crystablooms on select courses will be in Illumina state, imparting the effect to nearby Pokémon. After photographing a Crystabloom undergoing the phenomenon, however, Professor Mirror will bestow the player [[Illumina orbs]], which can be thrown onto Pokémon and Crystablooms to temporarily put them into Illumina state. | The Illumina phenomenon causes Pokémon and [[Crystabloom]] flowers to emit a glow.

Some Pokémon will react to Illumina orbs with actions that are unavailable in normal gameplay. Putting Crystablooms into Illumina state via Illumina orbs will occasionally have an impact on the surrounding environments, or may cause Pokémon nearby to take poses unseen | Some Pokémon will react to Illumina orbs with actions that are unavailable in normal gameplay.

'''Illumina Pokémon''' are Pokémon that respond uniquely to the Illumina phenomenon; their bodies are perpetually glowing in the same manner as normal Pokémon in Illumina state. When an Illumina Pokémon is put into Illumina state, its body is covered in vibrant patterns that are unseen under normal circumstances. These Pokémon can only be seen in Illumina Spots found on each of the islands on Lental. The first time the player travels through an Illumina Spot course, the Illumina Pokémon is the only Pokémon to be seen on that course; successfully photographing the Illumina Pokémon while it is in Illumina state will automatically elevate the player's research level for that course, which may cause more Pokémon to appear to be photographed. | '''Illumina Pokémon''' are Pokémon that respond uniquely to the Illumina phenomenon; their bodies are perpetually glowing in the same manner as normal Pokémon in Illumina state.
