How to take a snapshot of your buddy for Finding Your Voice and Misunderstood Mischief Special Research

The first step to this task is to simply ensure you have a buddy Pokemon set. This can be done by clicking your trainer icon in the bottom left, then clicking your avatar - from there, you’ll be able to set your buddy.

Following this, you’ll need to hit the “PLAY!” button, found underneath your buddy. This will bring up the camera screen.

From there, you’ll need to scan an open space until petals appear, like the ones in the image below.

Once the petals have appeared, you’ll be prompted to press anywhere on the screen to make your buddy Pokemon appear.

When your Pokemon has appeared on screen, a camera icon can be found at the bottom, in the centre of the display. Pressing this when your Pokemon is in the shot will be enough to help you successfully complete the task!
