encoded: Paper in Pokémon Pokopia is an incredibly useful resource, but it's not exactly clear how to get it. It plays a similar role to materials like Lumber, and especially in the late-game, you'll want to get as much as you can to decorate your island. So, if you're curious how to get Paper in Pokopia, here's a quick guide to tell you exactly what to do! How to get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia explained In order to get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia, you need to give Wastepaper to a Pokémon with the Recycle specialty. The two places you can find Wastepaper are in Sparkling Skylands, which is one of the last new areas you'll come across in the game, and on Drifloon's Dream Island by showing them a Dragonite Doll. Once you've got your Wastepaper, you'll need to find a Pokémon with the Recycle specialty. The first of these that you'll likely meet is Trubbish, who you'll come across during the Bleak Beach storyline. Including Trubbish, here's a full list of all the Pokémon with the Recycle specialty: Magnezone Koffing Weezing Trubbish Garbodor Cinccino Porygon Porygon2 Beldum Metang Metagross Just like any other material, hand your Wastepaper over to one of these Recycle Pokémon and wait for them to process it all. Every piece of Wastepaper you put in will be turned into two pieces of Paper, doubling the amount you have. As well as being useful in the crafting of items like Bookshelves and Books, you'll need Paper to complete Skyland Building 4F during the 'Rebuild the Huge Building!', 'Important Request' and the third 'Team Initiation Challenge'.

Paint can be used to customise your furniture and decorations, giving your dull furniture a new lease on life. So, if you want to make some lovely themed rooms or match your décor to the Pokémon who live there, here's a list of all the Paint in Pokémon Pokopia and how to get them. How to get Paint in Pokémon Pokopia There are two different ways to make Paint in Pokémon Pokopia. Later on in your playthrough, you'll be able to buy Paint directly from the Palette Town PC shop, found to the west of Withered Wastelands.

You can bring Berries to a Pokémon with the Crush Specialty, such as Onix, who will turn them into Paint.

description: Fixes incoming!
encoded: Following Pokémon Pokopia's excellent launch, Nintendo has dropped an update to address a few issues players have been facing. Some of these problems have caused game-breaking issues, so if you've been having problems in your game, the end of your troubles is here! So, what are the changes that have arrived in this Pokopia update? Here is the full list. Pokémon Pokopia update: Nintendo addresses six confirmed issues Nintendo has released an update to address six confirmed issues and two plans for improvement: Confirmed issues During the Withered Wasteland request "Help make a home!", Squirtle moves to the top of a tree and cannot be spoken to, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request. During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you break the cracked block in the bridge before Professor Tangrowth crosses it, it becomes difficult to proceed with the quest. During the Bleak Beach request "Find the Pokémon Center!", if you perform actions in a certain order, Professor Tangrowth's bridge repair event will not trigger, causing it to become impossible to proceed with the request. If you perform actions in a certain order at Rocky Ridges, the event in which you meet Rotom will not trigger. If the Rocky Ridges request "Clear the Path!" is triggered under certain conditions, it becomes difficult to proceed with the request. Spinarak's type is listed incorrectly in the Pokédex. Plans for improvement Nintendo plans to implement improvements regarding the following: During the Withered Wasteland request "Rock Smash your way to treasure!", if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Hitmonchan, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed. During the Bleak Beach request "To Snorlax", if you place another block at the same location as the cracked block close to Snorlax, it will make it hard to see how you should proceed. The above fixes are planned to be pushed out in the near future, with a promise that …

description: GameShare, I choose you!
encoded: If you’re wondering if Pokémon Pokopia is natively on the original Nintendo Switch 1, the short answer is no — but there is one way you can play the game on the older console. In the event that you have someone in your life who owns a Nintendo Switch 2 and you don't, there is a handy feature you can use to enjoy the cosy Pokémon adventure in your own right. So, whether you’re asking if Pokopia will come to Switch 1, looking for a Pokopia on Switch 1 release, or simply trying to find out how the current loophole works, here’s everything you need to know. How to play Pokémon Pokopia on Switch 1 If you want to play Pokopia on Switch 1, the only current method is through the Nintendo Switch 2's GameShare feature — available in the Pokémon Center of Palette Town, which is only accessible through the Withered Wasteland when you learn Rock Smash. GameShare lets one supported Switch 2 game be shared to another system, including an original Nintendo Switch, so another player can join in without owning the game themselves. Nintendo also confirms on Pokémon Pokopia's game page that only Nintendo Switch 2 consoles can share games, while both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems can receive them over a local wireless connection. Something to note is that you can only use GameShare with a Switch 2 and Switch 1 via a local wireless connection, and you cannot do it online. This means if you want to use GameShare with someone on a Switch 1, they have to be with you in person. Fellow Switch 2 owners can make use of GameChat to use GameShare online. What's more, anyone receiving software via GameShare can only use it for the duration of that session. Once the GameShare session ends, the shared version of the game is no longer playable. View Green Video on the source website It's quite a strange decision, considering it doesn't appear to be a very intensive game to run, especially when you consider that the much more expansive Pokémon Legends: Z-A managed to get a Switch 1 ver…

encoded: The Pokémon TCG’s huge 2026 run is set to continue with Pokémon Mega Evolution – Chaos Rising, the next major English-language expansion in the Mega Evolution Series. The set has now been officially confirmed by The Pokémon Company, giving us a much clearer look at Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising ahead of launch. We now know the release date, some of the featured cards, and a few early details about the size of the set, even if the full Chaos Rising Pokémon card list has not been revealed yet. When is the Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising release date? Part of the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution set, Chaos Rising has a release date of 22nd May 2026. The official Pokémon announcement confirms that the set is part of the Mega Evolution Series, with a card count of over 120. While this is the official release date for the set itself, it has also been confirmed by TCG fansite PokeBeach that pre-releases will be taking place from 9th to 17th May, building hype for the full release. Is there a Chaos Rising pre-order yet? Right now, there is no official Chaos Rising pre-order information in The Pokémon Company’s announcement. The release has been confirmed, yes, but the announcement does not include retailer listings or preorder links yet. That means fans looking for a Chaos Rising pre-order will need to wait a little longer for shops to publish listings. Once stock goes live, the Pokémon Center will likely be one of the first places people check, alongside other major TCG retailers — like Magic Madhouse, When they do go live, the first places to have it listed will probably be the Pokémon Center and Magic Madhouse, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, as well as dedicated TCG retailers like TCGPlayer. What do we know about the Chaos Rising card list? While the full Chaos Rising card list has not been officially published, The Pokémon Company has confirmed several early details about the set. According to the official announcement, Pokémon Mega Evolution – Chaos Rising will include over …

encoded: The new Pokopia event in Pokémon Go has arrived to bring some extra cheer to your next walk, adding two costumed Ditto, a stack of Timed Research objectives, and handy spin bonuses to go with it. Celebrating the recent release of Pokémon Pokopia, this limited-time event gives Trainers the chance to catch hat-wearing Ditto and cap-wearing Ditto with possible Shiny variations, alongside an event-themed Special Background. The festivities do not stop there, either, as there are boosted wild Pokémon spawns, three-star raids, Field Research tasks, Collection Challenges, stickers and a free avatar item to grab. To make all the new content as easy to navigate as possible, here are the exact dates of the Pokémon Go Pokopia event, and everything you can do until it ends. When is the Pokémon Go Pokopia event? The Pokémon Go Pokopia Celebration event has been running since 10 March, and is due to end at 8pm local time on 16 March. As ever with Pokémon Go events, the start and end times are in local time, so you do not need to convert between regions. What’s new in the Pokémon Go Pokopia event? The headline additions of the Pokopia event in Pokémon Go are Ditto wearing a hat and Ditto wearing a cap. Both can be encountered during the event, and both have a chance of appearing as a Shiny or with an event-themed Special Background. Costumed Ditto are also using different disguises in the wild during the event — just like their normal versions — so keeping an eye on spawns is well worth it. Currently, in Pokémon Go, the spawned Pokémon that can be a Ditto in disguise are: Bulbasaur Charmander Combee Drilbur Goomy Hitmonchan Marill Pikachu Scyther Squirtle Timburr Pokémon Go Pokopia Timed Research tasks and rewards The event-exclusive Timed Research is available throughout Pokémon Go’s Pokopia Celebration, but make sure you finish it and claim every reward before 8pm local time on 16 March, otherwise it disappears for good. The overall completion reward is 10,000 XP and 10 Pokopia …

encoded: One of several species added to Pokémon Pokopia in the new event, you might be wondering how to get Skiploom on your island. The More Spores for Hoppip event has introduced plenty of new content, including unique items that can be bought with Cotton Spores. You probably know all about that by now, however, so let's get into a quick guide on how to build a Skiploom Habitat in Pokémon Pokopia. Pokémon Pokopia Skiploom Habitat: How to get Skiploom explained In order to find Skiploom in Pokopia, you need to build either the Yellow Carpet Habitat or Field-trip Friends Habitat. The Yellow Carpet Habitat simply requires you to place four Dandy Flowers next to each other, but only gives you a one-in-three chance of finding a Skiploom. Instead, we recommend building the Field-trip Friends Habitat, in which Skiploom is the only Pokémon that can spawn. The Field-trip Friends Habitat requires you to place three items next to each other. These are: 1x Flower Backpack 1x Lunch Box 1x Hoppip Water Bottle All three of these items can be purchased from Hoppip's shop in the Withered Wasteland Pokémon Center for five Cotton Spores each. We have a dedicated guide explaining Cotton Spores for you to check out, but the long and short of it is that you can find them on Dream Islands. Once you've got the Field-trip Friends Habitat up and running, it's just a matter of waiting for Skiploom to appear, so pop a Security Camera next to it and go off to do other things!

description: Pokémon go to the shop and buy this game!
encoded: 2026 is already off to a flyer for Nintendo thanks to some pretty great Pokémon Pokopia sales numbers. The game hasn't been out for long, but this Pokémon-themed life sim has captured the attention of Switch 2 owners everywhere. We now have some confirmed sales figures to look at, so if you're wondering how many copies Pokopia has sold, here's what we know. Pokémon Pokopia sales numbers: How much money has it made? At the time of writing, Pokémon Pokopia has sold more than 2.2 million copies worldwide, with this figure coming from the first four days after launch. This news comes from a joint corporate press release from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. At a cost of £60 – the UK RRP – that equates to around £132m (~$177m) of total sales, though this is of course a very rough estimation. As well as the total 2.2m sales, it was further confirmed that 1m of these sales were in Japan alone. While that may come as a surprise to some, it's worth bearing in mind that Pokopia was surprisingly undersupplied to retailers in the west, with shops in the UK, US and Europe quickly running out of stock early on. Not to be deterred, the game has sat comfortably at the top of the Nintendo eShop in these regions since launch. Considering these figures are not even from the first full week of sales, it's an impressive achievement for the game. For comparison, the main series Pokémon Legends: Z-A sold approximately 5.8m copies in its first week, with 3.89m of those on the Switch 2. Pokopia, it should be noted, is a Switch 2 exclusive, and therefore is no doubt missing out on a rather substantial market of players that are yet to upgrade from their Switch 1 consoles.

These items are central to the event, helping you buy new items that you can use to build new Habitats for Pokémon like Jumpluff. So, if you're wondering how to get Cotton Spores and what they're used for, here's what you need to know! How to get Cotton Spores in Pokémon Pokopia The only way to get Cotton Spores in Pokopia is by finding them on Dream Islands. Dream Islands are accessed by showing a Doll to Drifloon, and while they can only be visited once a day, they are full of materials and resources for you to collect. Once on a Dream Island, look for floating Cotton Spore Clusters. They look like little white flowers hanging in the air. Simply walk up to them and press Y to pick them up. If you scour the entire island, you'll typically find around 50 or so Cotton Spores, though it is possible to get lucky and find more than 70! All Hoppip's shop items in Pokémon Pokopia Cotton Spores can be used to buy items from Hoppip's shop in the Withered Wasteland Pokémon Center. The most important thing these items do is let you build the Habitats to attract Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff to your island, but they also make for great decoration! Here is a list of all the items in Hoppip's shop, how much they cost, and if they can be used for anything: Dandy Flower Clusters (5x Cotton Spores) – Used for Yellow Carpet Habitat and Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat Lunch Box (5x Cotton Spores) – Used for Field-trip Friends Habitat and Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat Hoppip Water Bottle (5x Cotton Spores) – Used for Field-trip Friends Habitat Flower Backpack (5x Cotton Spores) – Used for Field-trip Friends Habitat Juice Trio (5x Cotton Spores) Flower Garland (5x Cotton Spores) Flower Cushion (10x Cotton Spores) – Used for Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat Flowery Table Setting (10x Cotton Spores) – Used for Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat Flower Table (10x Cotton Spores) P…

We've put together a handy guide to take you through exactly how to build the Jumpluff Habitat and what the deal is with Cotton Spores in Pokopia. Pokémon Pokopia Jumpluff Habitat: How to get Jumpluff explained There are two Habitats that can attract Jumpluff in Pokopia. These are the Yellow Carpet Habitat and the Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat. However, while the Yellow Carpet Habitat can also attract Hoppip, the Dandelion Lunchtime Habitat will only attract Jumpluff, so it's worth building this instead. In order to build it, you first need to collect 30 Cotton Spore Clusters, which can be found on Drifloon's Dream Islands since the start of the More Spores for Hoppip event. Once you've done that, there are four items that you need to purchase from Hoppip inside the Pokémon Center using your Cotton Spores: 1x Dandy Flowers 1x Lunch Box 1x Flower Cushion 1x Flowery Table Setting With all four of these items in your inventory, simply place them all next to each other outside. You can either wait for the flowers to grow, or bring Bulbasaur over to speed it up. View Green Video on the source website After building the Habitat, it's only a matter of waiting until Jumpluff appears. There's no harm in building a couple of Yellow Carpet Habitats while you're at it, so just as a reminder, you need to place four Dandy Flowers next to each other to build it. And that's all there is to it – hopefully you won't be waiting too long to get your hands on a Jumpluff for your own island!

Do Pokémon evolve in Pokémon Pokopia?

description: A resounding answer.
encoded: One of many hallmarks of the Pokémon series is evolution, but do Pokémon evolve in Pokémon Pokopia? Of course, plenty of mechanics haven't made their way into the game, such as shiny Pokémon, but that creature collection aspect has stayed! So, if you have a particular favourite Pokémon on your island and are wondering if you can evolve it, here's what you need to know! Do Pokémon evolve in Pokémon Pokopia? Pokémon do not evolve in Pokémon Pokopia. However, that doesn't mean there are no evolved forms of Pokémon in the game. The way Pokopia's creature collection works is that you have to build a Habitat to attract a specific Pokémon to it. That means every single Pokémon in the game has its own means of being found, and perhaps more importantly, there is only one copy of each individual Pokémon in the game. So, if you've already attracted a Slowpoke and a Slowbro to your island, for example, if you then evolved your Slowpoke, you would now have two Slowbro and no way to get another Slowpoke. To prevent this happening, there's simply one of each Pokémon and no evolution. View Green Video on the source website You can think of it as each Pokémon basically being an NPC that doesn't change at all, as opposed to a member of your team that you can interact with. Perhaps the developers will add evolution to Pokopia at some point in the future, but we think that it's fairly unlikely as it would clash too much with the core gameplay loop.

Pokémon Pokopia Argos deal: How to save £15 on the brand-new game

description: Every little helps!
encoded: With Pokémon Pokopia having just released, you might not expect that you'll be able to get it for a discounted price – Nintendo aren't exactly known for their sales at the best of times. But thanks to a nifty Argos deal, that's exactly what you can do, potentially nabbing yourself a £15 discount on the brand-new title. So, how does this Pokémon Pokopia Argos deal work? Here's what you need to know. Pokémon Pokopia Argos deal: How to save £15 on the brand-new game The long and short of it is that in order to get this Pokémon Pokopia discount, you're going to need to sign up for a new TopCashback account. Anyone who signs up for a new account will be eligible for a £15 discount on their first qualifying purchase. Luckily for you, buying Pokopia from Argos just so happens to count as such as purchase. That means you can head to Argos and buy the game for the low, low (not actually that low) price of £44.99 instead of its full £59.99 RRP. Within seven days of purchase, you'll receive £15 cashback in your TopCashback account, which you can subsequently cash out into your bank account – simple! If that all seems like too much hassle, your next cheapest option is a digital code from Loaded, which will save you a measly £4, but every little helps. Considering how well Nintendo games retain their resale value, it's definitely worth picking up the physical edition from Argos, as once you're done playing, you may be able to sell it on for almost what you paid for it!

description: Bad news, collectors.
encoded: Ever since Pokémon Gold and Silver, players have been hunting for elusive shiny Pokémon, but are there shinies in Pokémon Pokopia? The spin-off might have plenty of differences to the main series, but at the end of the day, you are still going around collecting Pokémon. And, harking back to the cat-only ethnostates some players founded in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, perhaps you're on the hunt for an all-shiny island in Pokopia. So, what's the deal? Are there shiny Pokémon in Pokopia? Here's what you need to know. View Riddle on the source website Are there shinies in Pokopia? Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia explained Unfortunately, there are no shiny Pokémon available in Pokémon Pokopia. Unlike the main games, where all Pokémon can have a shiny variant, prompting players to shiny hunt and soft reset their games, Pokopia is shiny-less. This is probably because Pokopia only has one of each Pokémon available, so to keep things uniform, it makes sense for none of them to be shiny. That being said, there's no reason why shinies couldn't be introduced in the future. Nintendo has already confirmed that the game will be receiving regular updates, including new content and new Pokémon coming to the game. Just as the anime sometimes introduced shiny Pokémon, such as Ash's Noctowl way back when, perhaps a future Pokopia event will introduce one or two unique shiny Pokémon into the mix. That being said, we think it's unlikely that a system like the main games where any Pokémon can be shiny will be introduced, as it wouldn't really fit the style of Pokopia's particular brand of creature collection. We are, of course, happy to be proven wrong on this front, though!

Ahead of the game's launch, developers from Game Freak and Omega Force held a stream to show off their own island. It's got plenty of interesting secrets and builds (they are the developers, after all), so it's well worth checking out! So, for the island code and how to visit Pokopia's dev island, read on! Pokémon Pokopia dev island: Developers' island code and how to visit The island code to visit the dev island in Pokémon Pokopia is: PXQC G03S. Unfortunately, visiting the dev island isn't a matter of just inputting the code and being whisked off to their Cloud Island. Instead, you'll first need to get your hands on the Mysterious Goggles item. Thankfully, the Mysterious Goggles are very easy to obtain. First, you need to reach Environment Level 3. Once you've done that, all you need to do is head to the PC Shop and purchase the Mysterious Goggles. Open up your inventory and put on the Mysterious Goggles. This will open up a new screen that asks you to input a code. Pop the code above into the box and you'll be whisked off to check the dev island out! How to copy items from the dev island in Pokémon Pokopia There are a bunch of cool items to be found on the dev island that you might want to have in your own world, and luckily for you, you can copy them! When you've found an item you like, press Y to pull out your camera, and take a photo. Make sure your camera has identified the correct item on-screen so you know you're copying the right thing. Photo in-hand, head back to your world and visit any Pokémon Center, where you'll be able to copy the item from the photo. View Green Video on the source website Read more: Is Pokopia on Switch 1?

description: Wc lvl?
encoded: One of the most useful crafting materials early on in Pokémon Pokopia is Lumber, but how do you get it? There's plenty of wood lying around, be it branches or logs, but Lumber will take a bit more effort to get your hands on. And it's something you'll want to do, as the Lumber you get can be used to craft all sorts of useful items and more. So, with that, let's take you through exactly how to get Lumber in Pokopia. How to get Lumber in Pokémon Pokopia explained To get Lumber in Pokopia, you need to give Small Logs to any Pokémon with the Chop Specialty. There are several Pokémon you'll meet who have the Chop Specialty, but the first one you'll come across is Scyther. Progress the main story until you meet Scyther, and they will teach you the move Cut. Cut can be used to chop down trees or the piles of dead wood you find lying around the world, giving you Small Logs in the process. Small Logs in hand, head over to Scyther and talk to them. Select 'Look at this!' and they will notice you have Small Logs in your inventory. Choose 'Make me some Lumber', and then select how much you want to make. Each Small Log produces five pieces of Lumber, and you can hand over a maximum of 10 Small Logs at once, providing you with 50 Lumber. Once you hand them over, you'll have to wait for Scyther to cut them all up. This can take a while, so use this time to head off and do something else, like planting crops or creating new Habitats. You can pop back at any time and collect the Lumber that Scyther has already created, so you don't have to wait for the entire lot to be done, which is handy if you've given Scyther the maximum number of Small Logs. Beyond this, you may come across some Lumber while out exploring, but this is the best and most efficient way of collecting lots of Lumber at once.

How to get Smooth Rock in Pokémon Pokopia: Smooth Tall Grass Habitat explained

description: A very specific spot.
encoded: Along with Pokémon Pokopia’s cosy habitat-building mechanics and early requests from some familiar faces, one of the first materials that can leave you scratching your head is the Smooth Rock, as its location can be tough to find if you don’t know where to look. You need it to make the Smooth Tall Grass Habitat for Onix, but the game is not especially clear on where the item is or how the habitat itself is supposed to be put together. Thankfully, once you know what to look for, it is a fairly simple job. Here is how to get Smooth Rock in Pokémon Pokopia and how the Smooth Tall Grass Habitat works. How to get Smooth Rock in Pokémon Pokopia You can find the Smooth Rock in the cave where you first encounter Onix during the early Yawn Up A Storm request line. Head back to the cave near the Withered Wasteland area, where Onix was trapped behind the rocks. As you move through the cave, look to the left side before turning right toward Onix’s location, and you should spot a Poké Ball item pickup sitting on a shelf-like block. That item is the Smooth Rock. This means you do not need to buy it, craft it, or unlock it through a special upgrade path. You simply need to revisit the cave and collect it from that pickup spot. View Green Video on the source website How to make a Smooth Tall Grass Habitat for Onix in Pokémon Pokopia Once you have the Smooth Rock, you can make the Smooth Tall Grass Habitat for Onix by combining it with four Dry Tall Grass. Dry Tall Grass is made by using Leafage on the ground that has not been watered. This is the bit that can be confusing, because Dry Tall Grass is not something you purchase or craft from a bench. Instead, you need to find a dry patch and use the move directly there. After that, place the four Dry Tall Grass in a 2x2 square. Then put the Smooth Rock next to that square. When arranged correctly, the game will confirm that you have restored the Smooth Tall Grass Habitat. At that point, you can return to Onix and speak to it to finish…

encoded: Is your Humidity stuck at 71 in Pokémon Pokopia? Can't seem to increase your Humidity any higher? We're here to help. Early on, you'll be given the 'Yawn up a storm!' Important Request, requiring you to increase the Humidity on your island to help Slowpoke yawn in order to summon the rain. Right away, it's quite easy to get the Humidity up, but it quickly becomes harder and harder, so how exactly do you hit 100? Here's what you need to know. There are a few methods that you can use to raise the Humidity. Some are simpler than others, and some are more effective than others – here are the main methods: Using Water Gun The first and simplest way to up the Humidity is to use Water Gun to bring dry tiles back to life. Pop round the immediate area and bring tiles, grass and trees back to life, and then check back with Slowpoke to see how it's working. When you're using other methods, it's worth just watering more tiles as you go, since every little helps! Building new Habitats Go and find Bulbasaur, as they will have a suggestion to help you out. Bulbasaur will ask for a Field of Flowers, which is two rows of Wildflowers, the seeds of which can be bought from the PC Shop. Squirtle may also suggest building a Hydrated Tall Grass Habitat, which is just a few patches of grass next to a pond – more on building that pond down below. Planting flowers and grass around the area will increase the Humidity further, which is very handy if you've already watered the entire area for step one. Freeing streams In several corners of Withered Wasteland, you can find blocks on the walls with water trickling out of them. These indicate blocked streams, and you can use Rock Smash on the block to open them up, immediately creating a small river and bringing all the nearby tiles back to life. Squirtle will point you in the direction of the first one – a pond in the east of the starting area – but you can usually find more by looking for channels dug into the ground, such as in the very north …

encoded: When you first start off in Pokémon Pokopia, the world is littered haphazardly with grass, flowers and all other sorts of junk. While things like decorations and resources can easily be picked up, the same isn't true of somethings like grass and flowers. So, if you plant something in the wrong place, how do you move it without chopping it down and starting over? The answer, thankfully, is simple, and we'll take you through exactly what you need to know. How to pick up and move grass and flowers in Pokémon Pokopia explained In order to pick up and move things like grass and flowers in Pokopia, you first need to unlock the move Rototiller. You can learn this move from Drilbur once you've unlocked Rock Smash. Follow the path northeast of the Pokémon Center, and you'll see a breakable wall on your right. Smash this and head through, and you'll find a dried-up allotment and river area, and a Drilbur hoping you can tidy up their home for them. Helping Drilbur out will allow you to learn the move Rototiller, which initially is taught to you as a means of tilling the ground to plant crops like Beans. But what we're interested in is its secondary ability. Head over to a patch of grass or flowers, and position yourself so your marker is hovered over it. Now, press and hold the zR button to use Rototiller, and you'll pick the patch up. Walk it over to wherever you want to place it back down and simply press A to plant it – that's all there is to it! It's an essential tool for making your island look just right, which is why we recommend it as one of the first things to do when you're getting started with Pokopia.

encoded: Along with Pokémon Pokopia’s fantastic cozy crafting features with Pocket Monster pals, there are several ways you can enjoy playing with other people in multiplayer. To engage with any multiplayer features, though, you do need to reach a certain point in the Pokémon spin-off game, but then you can have fun in both online multiplayer and local co-op – along with making use of Nintendo's GameShare feature. Here is everything to know about multiplayer in Pokémon Pokopia. How to unlock multiplayer in Pokémon Pokopia To start playing with up to three friends at once, you can access local and online multiplayer features in Pokémon Pokopia once you reach Environment Level 2; you can then start multiplayer by going to the PC at the Pokémon Center and selecting ‘Link Play’. To raise your Environment Level in Pokopia, you’ll need to decorate your habitats the right way to please your Pokémon – raising their Comfort Level and the Environment Level in turn. During the opening portions of the game, though, this should happen naturally and doesn’t require much specific focus. The ‘Link Play’ menu is the main hub for Pokémon Pokopia’s multiplayer features, where you can host players, visit others, or jump into a shared island together via a special code. Online multiplayer and local co-op You can perform the same multiplier functions in Pokémon Pokopia both in online and local co-op, but there’s one major difference: all players involved in online multiplayer must have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, while those taking part in local co-op are not required to have an online membership. View Green Video on the source website Using GameShare for Pokémon Pokopia In addition to standard multiplayer and local co-op multiplayer, Pokémon Pokopia also supports Nintendo’s GameShare feature – meaning another player on Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch 1 without owning the game can play it, too. However, sharing Pokopia via GameShare is limited to one player at a time, so you can…

encoded: For the Team Initiation Challenge in Pokémon Pokopia, you'll need to get some Beans, Tomatoes and Wheat. These are also very useful when it comes to cooking later down the line, so it's worthwhile to learn how to get your hands on them all. Depending on where you are in your playthrough, you may be able to get them straight away, or have a bit of work to do if you're just getting started, but either way, it's not too hard! So, let's take you through how to get Beans, Tomatoes and Wheat in Pokopia! How to get Beans in Pokémon Pokopia explained Out of the three crops, Beans are the easiest to get your hands on in Pokopia. When you meet Drilbur, you'll be given a bunch of Bean Seeds to grow, as well as a few by Hitmonchan for a particular request. Beyond this, you can find Beans growing in several locations throughout the starting Withered Wasteland area, meaning it's just a matter of exploring. You can also find Beans alongside both Tomatoes and Wheat in the areas detailed below, as well as on Dream Islands which can be accessed by showing Drifloon a Doll once per day. How to get Tomatoes in Pokémon Pokopia explained To get Wheat, you first need to increase your Trainer Level to 'Great'. This will let you unlock the Bleak Beach area. Pass through the gate to the east of the Pokémon Center in Withered Wasteland, past where you first meet Drilbur. Scattered around here, you'll find Tomato plants growing that you can pick, with more still growing that you can water to harvest later. Once you've found Tomatoes here, you'll be able to buy Tomato Seeds from the PC Shop, with 50 Coins netting you five seeds. Like Beans, you can also find Tomatoes on Drifloon's Dream Islands. View Green Video on the source website How to get Wheat in Pokémon Pokopia explained Again, once you've increased your Trainer Level to great, you can unlock the Rocky Ridges Head to the northwest of the Withered Wasteland area, past the cave where Onix was trapped, and you'll find a giant gate.

encoded: A new collaboration between McDonald's and Pokémon has been long expected for the Pocket Monster franchise's recent 30th anniversary, since being supposedly leaked a few months ago, but we've found a new update revealing when we might see it. The fast food giant has had a long history with the Pokémon franchise, doing collabs as far back as 2002; and with that, another partnership for 2026 has been one of the most anticipated yet. Here's the latest update on 2026's apparent McDonald's x Pokémon collaboration and when we might be seeing it. Pokémon McDonald's 2026: Will there be a collab for the 30th anniversary? Currently, a new collaboration has not been officially announced by either McDonald's or The Pokémon Company for 2026, but the latest update by the Pokémon TCG fansite PokéBeach, has led us to speculate that we could be seeing one as soon as Tuesday 31 March 2026. It was PokeBeach who revealed the rumoured collaboration in the first place, back in late December 2025. However, the Pokémon TCG promotion has so far kept getting pushed back by the reveal of others. The first was the 'Changeables' Happy Meal promotion, which ran from 27 January to 8 March. We assumed the Pokémon-themed Happy Meals containing TCG packs might drop after that, but a 2 March update from PokeBeach showed that an 'All American Basketball' set of toys would be running from 10 March to 30 March. As PokéBeach has noted, 20 days is a relatively short promotion – meaning we could still be seeing a Pokémon 30th anniversary collab with McDonald's from the day after it ends on 31 March. Be that as it may, yet another non-Pokemon promotion could be announced to run after that instead, but we will update this page as soon as we know more. It is noted that McDonald's TCG promotions typically offer one 4-card booster pack containing one holo and three non-holo cards. These sets typically contain 15 cards, with a total of six holo cards. All of the cards in the set have always been reprints. That b…

Once you're done with the game's quick tutorial, you're confronted with an enormous world that can be quite daunting at first. With so much to do, where do you even start? That's why we've put together a little Pokopia beginner's guide to help you out, telling you what you should start out with, as well as some nifty tips and tricks to make exploring and revamping your island a breeze. Let's get into it! First things to do in Pokémon Pokopia View Green Video on the source website Across the first few hours, there's a lot you can do, but we reckon these five things are the most important to focus on to help get you started. Collect Leppa Berries Once you've finished the tutorial section in which you meet the three Kanto starters, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander, you should go and collect a few Leppa Berries. Eating Leppa Berries restores your PP, which lets you use your moves. Use Water Gun to bring a few trees back to life, and then headbutt them by pressing A to knock the Berries off. Unlock Cut and Rock Smash Early on, there's not much point in exploring as you won't have the tools to do it, so just progress the main story for a bit until you meet both Scyther and Hitmonchan. These two will teach you the moves Cut and Rock Smash respectively. Cut lets you chop up bits of grass, vines and dead wood, the last of which can be refined into Lumber which is a very useful crafting material. Rock Smash lets you, well, smash rocks. Beyond letting you access new sections of the map by breaking through nearby walls, you can also use it to free trapped springs – more on that later. Increase your storage and backpack space Once you can use Scyther to get some Lumber, you can use the Crafting Table to build Storage Boxes. It's very worth your while to craft a few of these straight away, as it means you'll be able to dump all of your random bits and bobs ins…

encoded: Upcoming Pokémon spin-off Pokémon Pokopia has certainly gone down well with critics, managing to rack up the highest Metacritic score in Pokémon history. First announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, Pokopia comes from the studio behind fellow RPG spin-off Dragon Quest Builders, Omega Force. It combines the creature collection elements of the Pokémon series with the life simulation elements of the likes of Animal Crossing, seeing players revamp a seemingly deserted island to attract Pokémon and humans back. While players are yet to get their hands on the title, critics – ourselves included – have lauded the game, launching Pokopia to an impressive 88 rating on review aggregator Metacritic. At the time of writing, this places Pokopia neck and neck with Resident Evil Requiem and fantasy CRPG Esoteric Ebb as the joint highest-rated game of 2026. Perhaps more impressively, however, is that this 88 rating also means Pokopia is now the highest-rated Pokémon game of all time on the website, according to critic reviews. View Green Video on the source website Although technically sharing the top spot with Pokémon Y, the presence of its counterpart Pokémon X one point below on an 87 rating gives Pokopia the bragging rights as a standalone title. It's an impressive achievement, managing to eclipse several other franchise heavy hitters including Pokémon Sun and Moon, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Pokémon Black and White, all of which sit alongside X at an 87 rating. It also represents a significantly higher score than any Pokémon game has had in recent years. 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus had been the last title in the series to score above 80, while Sun and Moon were the last to breach an 85-rating way back in November 2016. Pokopia arrives at the start of Pokémon's 30th anniversary year in which there have already been ports of the classic GBA titles FireRed and LeafGreen.

encoded: Animal Crossing meets Pokémon meets Dragon Quest Builders meets Minecraft meets probably a few other things – Pokémon Pokopia releases this week! We've already been playing it for our Pokopia review – spoiler alert, it's pretty darn good. It comes from the Omega Force, the team behind Dragon Quest Builders and Dynasty Warriors of all things, and brings Pokémon's creature collection to a cozy world of building and decorating. If you can't wait to get started revamping your island, here's the lowdown on the Pokémon Pokopia release date, launch times and what you can expect! When is Pokémon Pokopia's release date and UK launch time? Pokémon Pokopia releases on 5 March 2026 at midnight GMT. In fact, the game will release at midnight in every country's easternmost time zone. For countries with just one timezone, that just means midnight, but for players in the US that means midnight EST, which translates to 9pm PST, 10pm MST and 11pm CST. The game will be released both physically and digitally, though the physical version will be as a Game-Key Card — meaning you'll still have to fully download the game after inserting the cartridge – boooooo. Pokémon Pokopia gameplay details A life simulation game that's also a spin-off of Game Freak's mainline series, Pokémon Pokopia sees you control a Ditto taking the form of a human, and tasks you with creating your own home – indeed, being a hybrid with the Pokémon formula and the Animal Crossing series' style of gameplay. Players can use moves they learn from wild Pokémon to collect resources like wood and rocks, which can then be used to craft all sorts of buildings, furniture, and flora for their home. As players make their home more inviting by adding in specific buildings and plants, more different species of Pokémon will appear, in turn giving you even more moves with which to improve your home further. The game even features a variety of biomes and weather, as well as a day/night cycle, all of which will affect the look of you…

description: Pokopia is better than it has any right to be.
encoded: When Pokémon Pokopia was first revealed, the entire world had the same reaction of 'what if Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest Builders, but Pokémon?'. And while I can certainly confirm that Pokopia is Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest Builders, but Pokémon, that honestly does a disservice to this game, which is perhaps the best Pokémon spin-off we've seen in years. The premise of the game bears plenty of similarities to Nintendo's COVID-era money printer Animal Crossing: New Horizons, in the sense that you're dumped on an empty island with the task of gradually transforming it into a paradise of sorts. In Pokopia's case, it's a world abandoned by both humans and Pokémon alike, and you initially team up with the only remaining resident, Professor Tangrowth, to start making it a place that Pokémon – and hopefully, humans – will want to return to. Following on from a short tutorial section in which you find the three Kanto starters and learn to use Water Gun and Leafage to begin rewilding this desiccated wasteland, you're sent off to get busy. The game offers a rather intuitive loop in which you'll regularly pick up a trace of a new Pokémon, and be given a hint as to what new habitat type they need to spawn. Sometimes you can immediately build that habitat, while at other times, you may need to go off and craft an item or unlock a new move to do so. Pokopia continues to guide you along the way with loose quests that lead you to attracting certain new Pokémon, unlocking further abilities like Rock Smash, Cut and Strength, or rebuilding certain facilities like the Pokémon Center. For the most part, these are useful and are best enjoyed as a solo task that you can undertake while vaguely working to improve your island, otherwise the prospect of having so many things to do at once can feel a bit overwhelming. Perhaps too often, these quests do end up forming long strings of sub-quests, requiring you to seek help from one Pokémon who tells you, "Sure, I can help you, but firs…

encoded: After nearly four years since the last main series Pokémon games, the 10th Generation of games has now been confirmed with Pokémon Winds and Waves. Rumours about the games have been widely circulated over the last year, with details about the games – including the names – leaking in October 2025. Now, as part of the Pokémon Presents stream to celebrate Pokémon Day, and the series' 30th anniversary, we've had our first look at the new games. Unsurprisingly, given the title Winds and Waves, the games appear to take place in a tropical island setting, similar to that of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The player is shown travelling through jungle areas, beaches, marshland, and even what appears to be inside a volcano. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the trailer is the reveal of the three new starter Pokémon: Browt, a Grass-type bird with large, leafy eyebrows; Pombon, a Fire-type dog similar to a Pomeranian; and Gecqua, a Water-type lizard. We're also shown a short clip of an underwater area filled with various Water-type Pokémon, suggesting that diving will be making a return for the first time since Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, remakes of the Generation 3 Hoenn titles. Something that is immediately apparent is that the graphical quality of the games appears to be significantly higher than that of Scarlet and Violet, something those games received heavy scrutiny for. Fans have long been calling upon Game Freak and The Pokémon Company to take longer in the development of their games, so as to ensure better visuals and stronger performance. Following the negative reception of Scarlet and Violet, and coupling that with the fact these will be the first main series games on the Nintendo Switch 2, and it looks like players may finally be getting what they wanted. Unfortunately, that wait will be longer than many expected, as the games are currently scheduled to release simultaneously at some point in 2027. So, good news for Pokémon fans everywhere, unless you're me, who…
