While glowing, a Pokémon is said to be in the '''Illumina state'''. For Pokémon, this increases the quality of photos taken while in the Illumina state, as evaluated by Professor Mirror; for crystablooms, only a crystabloom in the Illumina state is eligible for evaluation, and are not awarded a score. 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 the Illumina state, imparting the effect to nearby Pokémon. | ||
Some Pokémon will react to Illumina orbs with actions that are unavailable in normal gameplay. Putting crystablooms into the Illumina state via Illumina orbs will occasionally have an impact on the surrounding environments, or may cause Pokémon nearby to take poses otherwise unseen. | After photographing a crystabloom undergoing the Illumina phenomenon, Professor Mirror will give the player '''Illumina orbs'''. These are unlimited, and can be thrown at Pokémon and crystablooms to temporarily put them into the Illumina state. Some Pokémon will react to Illumina orbs with actions that are unavailable in normal gameplay. Putting crystablooms into the Illumina state via Illumina orbs will occasionally have an impact on the surrounding environments, or may cause Pokémon nearby to take poses otherwise unseen. | ||
'''Illumina Pokémon''' are Pokémon that respond uniquely to the Illumina phenomenon; their bodies are perpetually glowing in the same manner as normal Pokémon in the Illumina state. When an Illumina Pokémon is put into the 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 the 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 the Illumina state.
