Overview
Highlight Reels are special photo opportunities scattered across all five regions of Pokopia. When you approach a scenic spot marked with a camera icon, you can use Photo Mode to capture the scene. Each Highlight Reel is a unique viewpoint showcasing the beauty of the restored landscape. Collecting all Highlight Reels contributes to your Pokedex Completion Rewards.
How Highlight Reels Work
Find the camera icon: Look for a small camera symbol on the ground while exploring. These appear in scenic areas once the surrounding environment has been restored.
Enter Photo Mode: Stand on the camera icon and press the Photo Mode button. The camera will automatically frame the recommended shot.
Take the photo: Press the capture button to save the Highlight Reel. It is stored in your album and marked as complete.
Check progress: View your collected Highlight Reels from the album section of the menu.
