Like Beluysia Island’s Illumina Orb, you’ll need to take a photo of a glowing Crystabloom flower at night for Voluca Island’s orb. This time, it’s located on the Sweltering Sands desert course at night.

There are a few Crystabloom flowers on this course, you’ll need to show Professor Mirror a photo of a glowing one in order for it to count for his research. There’s a glowing one located about 3/4 of the way through the course. It’s on the right side on a ledge.

You’ll have to be quick with your photo of it because your NEO-ONE vehicle will rapidly descend down a cliff once you approach the flower. Make sure you’re zoomed in and ready to snap a shot of it.

If you’re having trouble locating the glowing Crystabloom flower, here’s the spot where you can find it:

If you managed to take a successful photo of it while it’s glowing, you can select the photo just as you would any other Pokemon photo when showing the pictures you took to Professor Mirror. He’ll be pleased with the research you’ve done and in return give you an Illumina Orb that you can use on any course on Voluca Island.
