Gameplay & Mechanics

The core loops of Pokémon Pokopia — befriend Pokémon to learn moves, then craft, build, farm, and transform your island into a paradise.

Two moves to get you growing

Ditto borrows Pokémon moves to change the world. Start with greenery and water, then build around the space you create.

Add greenery

Leafage

Learn Leafage from Bulbasaur to grow greenery in the environment. Use it as a starting point for a greener patch of land.

Water plants

Water Gun

Learn Water Gun from Squirtle to hydrate plants. Watering and adding greenery give you two different ways to restore a dry-looking space.

Plan one small project

  1. Choose a patch of land and decide what you want to change.
  2. Check the moves and crafting materials you already have before collecting more.
  3. Keep room for paths so you can reach your work area and nearby Pokémon.
  4. Return to your neighbors for requests and ideas as you build.
