Among the many useful and fun features in Pokemon GO, it is worth highlighting Photo Mode, which allows fans to take a snapshot of a Pokemon, as well as capture the real-world environment if they use AR mode. In addition to satisfying the desire to take a memorable picture, Pokemon snapshots are also needed in the game to unlock or complete some quests.

Whether gamers want to take a snapshot of a Pokemon they already have or one they haven't caught yet, with this Pokemon GO guide, they will find solutions to both of these cases.

How to Take Snapshots in Pokemon GO

Snapshot in Pokemon GO

To take a photo of a wild Pokemon, fans need to enter Photo Mode. For this, they need to do the following:

  • Tap on the creature, just like when catching it.
  • Here, instead of throwing the Pokeball and locking the creature inside, players will need to click on the camera icon on top. This will take them to Photo Mode, where they can take a snapshot.
  • Press the white button with the camera icon, and then the image they just took will appear.
  • Next, players will see two options: a trash can, which will delete the snapshot they have just taken or a checkmark that will save the photo.
  • To exit the Photo Mode, gamers have to click on the arrow located at the bottom left of the screen.

To take a picture of a Pokemon that fans already have in their collection, they should do the following:

  • Tap on the creature in their storage.
  • Tap the camera icon located in the upper right part of the window.
  • Once players have opened Photo Mode with their Pokemon, they need to find a flat surface and slowly rotate their gadget's camera around so that the game will record it as appropriate for placing the creature. Gamers can prepare the photo spot by removing various elements that can confuse the game to accelerate the process.
  • When the game detects a location that is likely to be valid for a Pokemon, yellow footprints of various shapes and sizes will appear and become highlighted. To release their Pokemon, players need to tap wherever the footprints are.
  • After that, players have to follow the same steps as is the case for taking a snapshot of a wild Pokemon.
