Mightyside River is one of three brand new courses added to New Pokemon Snap as part of a recent update. Featuring fan-favourites like Gyarados, Psyduck, and Feraligatr, Mightyside River is arguably the best map out of the three new ones – our own Stacey Henley argued as much before it even came out.
That being said, the Belusylva water level still has quite a few surprises up its sleeve. Adding an impressive seven new 'mons to the game, it will take even the most experienced photographers quite some time to get their Photodex filled and up to date.

Here are all of the 'mons it introduces to the game, as well as details of how to encounter them.

New Pokemon Snap: Where To Find Every New Pokemon In Mightyside River
Listing off all of the Pokemon that can be found in Mightyside River is one thing, but figuring out how to actually snap them is a whole different ball game. Unlike Secret Side Path before it, Mightyside River requires quite a bit of innovation in order to lure out all of the new species it contains.
Here's how to find Psyduck, Feraligatr, Cleffa, Drilbur, Ursaring, Tropius, and Gyarados in New Pokemon Snap.
- Psyduck: Psyduck is everywhere on Mightyside River. You'll first encounter it as it's being chased by a pack of Aipom on the left hand side. It will reappear later in the level, once again on the left, and will appear one more time in the final area before the teleport point floating along the water on your right.
- Feraligatr: Similarly to Psyduck, Feraligatr is available to snap as soon as you unlock rank one of Mightyside River (Day). Turn the volume up and, after about 30 seconds in, you'll hear a great big splash behind you. That's the final evolution of everybody's favourite Johto starter. Feraligatr can also be seen scaring Beautifly away from the cliffs in Mightyside River (Night).
- Cleffa: After unlocking Mightyside River (Night), look out for three Beautifly clinging to a wall on your right. Scan them and you'll be able to see some ancient paintings, which will give you a prompt for a new alternate route. Cleffa can be found at the back of the cave – hit the Crystabloom and play a melody to make two of them dance, which provides you with an opportunity to take a four-star shot.
- Drilbur: In the same cave as Cleffa.
- Ursaring: In Mightside River (Night) rank two, don't take the alternate route mentioned above and you'll see Ursaring where three Toucannon are during the day (the small platforms after the second waterfall drop). It should be on the left hand side, waiting to hunt Magikarp.
- Tropius: Tropius is everywhere on all ranks of both day and night. It's also massive, so you should have no problem finding it. On Mightyside River (Day) rank two, hit it with an Illumina orb and photograph it as it flies to get a four-star shot.
- Gyarados: Gyarados is undoubtedly the hardest Pokemon to encounter on this map. After playing Mightyside River (Night) once, reload the map and scan the waterfall on your right after the first drop, behind where Feraligatr is sleeping. This will inform you that there's a Crystabloom there. If you hit it now, nothing will really happen, although if you reload Mightyside River (Day) rank two and hit it with an Illumina orb, Gyarados will jump out of the waterfall.
