Illumina phenomenon: Difference between revisions

The '''Illumina phenomenon''' (Japanese: '''イルミナ{{tt|現象|げんしょう}}''' ''Illumina phenomenon'') is a phenomenon affecting both Pokémon and vegetation of the [[Lental]] region. It causes afflicted Pokémon or [[crystabloom]] flowers to glow, and is the main research area of [[Professor Mirror]].

==Gameplay==

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 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.

| Meganium wanders peacefully through the Illumina Spot, occasionally interacting with crystablooms in the Illumina state and putting Meganium into the Illumina state itself. This is the only Illumina Pokémon that can be photographed before acquiring Illumina orbs, and no special effort is needed to take the required photos.

| Milotic spends the majority of its time under the water in the Illumina Spot; Illumina orbs will not penetrate the surface of the lake. Throwing a [[fluffruit]] into the lake to hit Milotic will cause it to surface, where it can be affected by an Illumina orb. Once the Illumina state ends, Milotic will submerge again, and must be lured out with a fluffruit once more.

| Many Solo Form Wishiwashi are scattered throughout the Illumina Spot; they are not considered Illumina Pokémon, and affecting them with Illumina orbs will not make them eligible for an Illumina Pokémon photograph. If many Wishiwashi are put into the Illumina state, they will gather and enter School Form for a period, which can be struck with an Illumina orb for a requisite photo.

| Two Volcarona appear in the Illumina Spot; both are normally surrounded by fire, in which state Illumina orbs cannot affect them. Striking a Volcarona with two fluffruit will cause its flames to disperse, whereupon it can be affected by Illumina orbs. After the Illumina state ends, Volcarona will depart, returning after again being surrounded by flames.

| Steelix moves in and out of several holes throughout the Illumina Spot, and can be lured out by throwing fluffruit into its hiding place. Unlike other Illumina Pokémon, it must be struck with multiple Illumina orbs in order for it to enter the Illumina state.

| Xerneas spends most of its time in the form of a ball of light while it travels through the Illumina Spot. Striking it with an Illumina orb will cause it to fully manifest, whereupon striking it with another will cause it to enter the Illumina state. It will only remain fully manifested for a brief period before retaking the ball-of-light form.
