Below are the LenTalk requests for the Sweltering Sands in New Pokemon Snap.
A Finicky Flame
Requestor: Phil
Location: Day – Research Level 1/2
Objective: Capture a picture of Torchic burning a fluffruit
As you pass the second sand tornado and approach the oasis, you’ll see a Torchic wandering around. Hit it with an Illumina Orb then throw a fluffruit near it. This will cause it to burn the fruit using flamethrower. Get a picture of the flamethrower for the request.
Hide-and-Seek in the Desert
Requestor: Prof. Mirror
Location: Night – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of a hiding Trapinch
Once you reach the oasis, you’ll be passing along the right side of it. Look to the left to spot a rock. Trapinch can be found with its head sticking out of the sand on the other side (you may want to use your scan to locate it). Hit the Pokemon with an Illumina Orb then take a picture of it for the request.
Kangaskhan’s Parenting
Requestor: Todd
Location: Night – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of Kangaskhan feeding its young
The easiest way to get this picture is with the Kangaskhan at the beginning of the route. You’ll need to hit it with a fluffruit to get its attention then place a couple more fruit around it. The trick with this one is that Kangaskhan will eat a fruit first before she gives one to the baby, and you have to be far enough away from her in order for her to give it to the baby. Also note that if you hit Kangaskhan with fruit, it will stop what it’s doing and roar at you. When she does hand the fluffruit to the baby, be sure to snap the moment for the request.
Lycanroc’s Reply
Requestor: Prof. Mirror
Location: Day – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of Lycanroc reacting to the sound of the scan
After you pass the second sand tornado, you’ll head up a tall sand mound with the oasis on the other side. At the top of the mound, look to the right to find a Lycanroc on a ledge overlooking the oasis. Use your scan to stop it from jumping down then take the alternate route to head right along the oasis. Look up to spot Lycanroc standing next to a Crystalbloom. When you get close, use your scan to make him move on. Keep following him to see him run out to a section of rock sticking out. When it gets to the end, it’ll let out a howl. This is what you want to snap a picture of for the request.
Munching Mandibuzz
Requestor: Prof. Mirror
Location: Day – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of where Mandibuzz eats
As you approach the Oasis, take the alternate route heading to the right of it. To the left of Tyranitar, you’ll see a Mandibuzz kind of hidden behind a rock. You’ll need to boost up to it and throw the fluffruit near it before it flies away. If you’re quick enough, you should be able snag the picture of it eating the apple for the request.
Oasis Buddies
Requestor: Rita
Location: Day – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of Torchic standing on Hippowdon’s head
When you approach the Oasis, you’ll notice a Hippowdon and Torchic within close proximity of each other. Toss an Illumina Orb at Hippowdon to get it to lower its head. Next, you need to hit Torchic with an orb as well. Make sure they are both illuminated and Torchic should hop on Hippowdon’s head. Take a picture with Hippowdon being the focus for the request.
Onix’s Mighty Leap
Requestor: Phil
Location: Day – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of Onix leaping into the air
To snap this picture, you will need to take the alternate path at the oasis heading right around it. Once you pass Tyranitar, you’ll head down a sand mound into an area with lots of Onix. Look for a ledge to immediately to the right (facing the exit) of the sand mound to find two Mandibuzz resting there. Hit them both with a fluffruit causing them to fly off. Next, you want to spin around looking for a rock on the left (facing the exit) to see another Mandibuzz sitting at the top. Throw a fluffruit at it as well. Now that you’re set up, look towards the exit keeping an eye out for jumping Onix. After two jump out of the sand, turn around to see the three Mandibuzz flying in a V formation. Follow them for one last chance to catch a picture of a leaping Onix for the request.

Revenge of Silicobra
Requestor: Phil

Objective: Capture a picture of why Lycanroc is running away from Silicobra
Near the start of the route, you’ll come around a curve and there will be a Silicobra laying on the sand to the right. Hit it with a fluffruit then immediately look to the left of the path. Silicobra’s face and tongue will show up somewhere in the sand. You’ll need to hit it again with another fluffruit. Both of these steps should happen before you reach the three Crystalblooms. When you get to the oasis, take the alternate path leading to the left. You should see Silicobra’s face and tongue sticking out of the sand. Hit it with a fluffruit to cause the snake to pop out of the sand. The nearby Lycanroc should run over starting a confrontation between the two. You’ll want to capture a picture of Silicobra spitting sand at the Lycanroc for the request. If the fight doesn’t start, you might have to lure the Lycanroc closer using fluffruit.
Roll and Stop
Requestor: Phil

Where Did the Fluffruit Go?
Requestor: Rita
Location: Day – Research Level 2
Objective: Capture a picture of the Pokemon in the tornado eating fluffruit
As you approach the second sand tornado near the start of the route, hit all three Crystalblooms with Illumina Orbs. This will cause the tornado to stop and Flygon to appear.

As you head over the sand mound leading to the oasis, you will see the Flygon flying to the left of the oasis with the fruit in its hand. Keep heading along the normal route while keeping an eye on Flygon. As you approach the end of the route, you’ll see Flygon dive down into one of the giant sand holes. This is where you want to start taking pictures. The picture you are trying to capture is Flygon giving the fruit to the Trapinch in that hole. Capture the moment for the request.
