The Pokemon Go Snap Celebration is not around forever as it’s a limited time event, so completing the new featured quest tasks fast is a top priority. Luckily, we’ve found three great tips to make things so much easier. 

Niantic will be hosting the event in-game between April 30 to May 2, 2021 and there’s a lot to be excited for. 

The Celebration Quest is one of the biggest highlights, including four unique encounters in the rewards and a shed load of XP to be claimed. At a glance, these challenges may be tough and very time consuming, but there are some things you can do to speed up the process.

Let’s run through our three top tips.

Tip 1 – Save time on Mantine

A Mantine encounter is included in the rewards of Step 3 – capitalize.

If you take a look at the Snap Celebration quest steps, the third step ultimately offers a Mantine encounter. Not only that, but you will scoop 2000 XP and 5 Pinap Berries.

At this point, you should take a Snapshot of Mantine – because you also need a photo of it for the fourth step. The fourth quest requires you to Snapshot either Mantine, Skamory or Dodrio. As Mantine is handed on a plate, be sure to gobble up the opportunity after completing the third task.

This will save you some time going to find one, and let’s be honest, these Pokemon are not always the most co-operative in terms of spawning when you need them.

Tip 2 – Remember, Multiple Snapshots!

The fourth step of the Pokemon Go Snap Celebration quest also requires you to take a snap of 15 wild Pokemon, which might – again – sound time consuming.

However, did you know that you can actually take multiple Snapshots of the same wild Pokemon and they all count towards your target? It’s much faster to take a photo of one Pokemon encounter, rather than 15, so don’t miss out on skipping over this hurdle fast.

Tip 3 – Field Research Pokemon

Taking Snapshots of Pokemon is the key to completing this quest.

While the quest may ask for wild Pokemon encounters, don’t forget that those in your Field Research stack all count towards the same goal!

Quite quickly, you can go around this set of Pokemon and take some Snapshots to skip over the challenge. You don’t even have to save the photo, either, as you can choose to put it in trash, before taking another picture. This should also speed up your process of checking off 15 wild Pokemon.
