Pokémon Snap: How to Complete ‘Operation Be My Friend!’ Request

The ‘Operation Be My Friend’ request can be challenging if players don’t know where to look in Pokemon Snap. This guide will show players how they can complete this request. Pokemon Snap is full of tons of requests for players to complete. Each of these requests will provide players with a slight blurb that hints at what players are required to do. In some cases, these challenges cannot be completed until players reach a specific Research Level or have a certain item. In the case of the ‘Operation Be My Friend’ task, players will need to have access to the Founja Jungle and the Illumina Balls for this level. Here is how players can complete this task.

For starters, to unlock the Illumina Balls for Founja Jungle, players will need to play through the stage during the night. This one is near the end of the stage directly next to a sleeping Quagsire. Take a picture of the Crystabloom Floor and end the stage to unlock the Illumina Balls for this area. With that task done, players are not ready to tackle the ‘Operation Be My Friend’ request. This is how players can complete this task.

How To Complete The ‘Operation Be My Friend’ Task in Pokemon Snap

Players will need to go through the Fournja Jungle stage during the day for this challenge. When exploring, the moment you hit the halfway point, players will find a Liepard resting in front of a waterfall. Players will need to hit it with the Illumina Balls before it falls asleep. If it falls asleep, players will need to restart the level. Once the Liepard moves, it will reveal a new path hidden behind the waterfall. Use the scanner tool to gain access to this location. Head inside to find a Leafeon that is required to complete this task. All the player has to do now is throw fruit at it until it eats it. Capture a photo of this moment and head to the end of the stage to complete the ‘Operation Be My Friend’ Task.

Pokemon Snap brings along tons of personality to hundreds of different Pokemon. No other Pokemon title allows players to interact with Pokemon in this way. Hopefully, it won’t be too long until a new entry is made available in this series. The interest is clearly there so maybe more content will come out faster in the future.

Pokemon Snap is available now on Nintendo Switch.
