The first thing you’ll want to know about Illumina Orbs in Pokemon Snap is what they are used for, which is making Pokemon and Crystabloom flowers glow. Why is this useful?

For Pokemon, it sometimes changes how they behave when hit with one and also lights them up, resulting in different and better picture qualities depending on the situation. Alternatively throwing this item at a Crystabloom flower can also lure Pokemon out of their hiding spots and lights up the area to see better or makes things happen in the course that might not normally happen.

It is also important to note that you’ll unlock a different color Illumina Orb at each of the islands that you visit.
