Elsewhere Forest is one of the largest and most confusing courses in New Pokemon Snap. It's made up of eight different sections, although players will only pass through four of these on any given run. After the first foggy section, they'll be taken to one of four seasonally-themed areas before returning to another foggy section. To begin with, players will head to a ruins-themed area next, although once they reach research level 3, they'll be able to unlock a different ending section.
The course has 20 different types of Pokemon for players to photograph in total, the majority of which can only be found in the forest. As always, there are a handful of Pokemon that are only accessible at higher research levels as well as a Legendary Pokemon who'll make an appearance once players have completed New Pokemon Snap's main story. That said, players should be able to get a picture of most of them in one or two runs.
Every Pokemon In Elsewhere Forest
Research Level 1
- Shiftry - Shiftry will likely be the first Pokemon that players see upon entering the forest as one walks right in front of them as the course begins. They also show up in the summer area of the course later on, as well as the second foggy section and the sunny plains exit if players pass through the summer section.
- Trevenant - Like Shiftry, Trevenenant can be found in both of the foggy sections and will occasionally show up in the sunny plains section of the course as well depending on the route that players take.
- Espurr - Espurr likes to hang out in the two foggy sections and also shows up in the sunny plains area near the place the all of the Deerling meet up.
- Kecleon - Players will only be able to see a faint outline of Kecleon due to the Pokemon's excellent camouflage skills, but hitting it with an Illumina Orb will make it show up. They're usually hanging out in trees, although can occasionally be found at ground level or hiding in leaves too. They show up in every area apart from winter.
- Deerling - Deerling show up in all four of the seasonal sections as well as the sunny plains at the end of the course and the second foggy area. Players will be able to get a shot of its summer form at research level 1, but will have to wait until level three before they can snap all four variants.
- Sawsbuck - Where there are Deerling, there are usually Sawsbuck. There's also one in the second foggy section of the course once players hit research level 3.
- Unfezant - There are a ridiculous amount of Unfezant scattered throughout the four seasonal sections of Elsewhere Forest, making the Pokemon very difficult to miss. There are also a few near the start of the ruins section.
- Pancham - Pancham can be found hanging out in the summer section of the course and can also be seen in the ruins. If players pass through the summer section on their way to the sunny plains exit, it will also show up there.
- Bulbasaur - Like Pancham, Bulbasaur can be found in the summer, sunny plains and ruins sections of the course.
- Drampa - Given Drampa's monstrous size, it's very difficult to miss it. It pops up in most sections, although the best places to get a photo are either on the left near the end of the ruins section or, depending on the route that players take, on the right near the end of the sunny plains section.
- Bewear - Bewear likes to hang out in the ruins section, although the best place to snap a photo of it is later on in the winter section of the course, where they can be found hibernating in a cave.
- Lotad - Lotad shows up right at the end of the ruins section, but players will be able to get much better photos later on in the sunny plains area.
- Magikarp - A Magikarp will jump out of the water if players scan or throw Fluffruit into the pool near the end of the ruins section.
Research Level 2
- Serperior - Once players reach research level 2, they'll have a chance at visiting the autumn section of the course. It will also show up in the sunny plains later on if players pass through the autumn section and can be found hiding in the ancient ruins at the end of the ruins section.
- Applin - There's an Applin on the ground near the very beginning of the autumn section as well as a bunch of them hanging from trees in the sunny plains area. There's also one sleeping with Espeon near the beginning of the ruins section and one in a pile of fruit and berries to the player's right after they pass under a tree roots a little while later.
Research Level 3
- Espeon - Espeon will start to show up in both foggy sections once players reach research level 3. It can also be snapped on the player's left near the very beginning of the sunny plains section and behind the player in the ruins section if players reunite the lost Deerling with Sawsbuck.
- Gardevoir - In order to find Gardevoir, players will need to unlock the winter section. To do this, they'll have to use the Melody Player near the Trevenant that's hanging out by the floating stone in the opening section. This will make it move the stone, at which point they'll need to scan the arrow icon and then throw an Illumina Orb at Espeon.
- Ninetails - Ninetails also shows up in the winter section, but it's quite far away. It is possible to get it to show up in the sunny plains section too though and this is the best place to get a photo. To do this, players will have to pass through the winter section and then, in the second foggy section, light the Crystalblooms on the right of the track to reunite a lost Deerling with its father. There are five in total, but, in the alcove with two of them, players should only hit the one at the back. If done correctly, the pair will leave the section together via an alternate route which players will then be able to scan to follow.
- Vivillon - There are two types of Vivillon in Elsewhere Forest, the first of which is the modern pattern variant. It shows up in the skies to the right of the exit in the autumn section if players use Illumina Orbs and the Melody Player to get Serperior to use Leaf Storm on the little Deerling. Elegant pattern Vivillon appears in the place where the four types of Sawsbuck meet near the sunny plains exit, but only if players use scan to wake Espeon, feed it a Fluffruit and then pelt it with Illumina Orbs so that it fetches the missing Deerling and Sawsbuck. Once all four types are close to it, illuminating the Crystabloom in the center will release the Vivillon.
End Game
- Celebi - Celebi shows up at the very start of the ruins section once players have completed the game. If players hit it with an Illumina Orb it will disappear, but throwing a Fluffruit into the pile of fruit and berries underneath the tree roots a little later on will make it reappear. After it eats the Fluffruit, it will teleport on top of the ancient ruins and hitting it with another Illumina Orb and using the Melody Player will cause more Celebi to show up and start dancing for a four star photo.
