How to raise Humidity in Pokémon Pokopia: Slowpoke's 100-point yawn

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 of the starting area, where you'll find a fountain already waiting for you.

You can also use Rock Smash to enter a small area just to the northeast of the Pokémon Center with another trapped spring, where you can also meet Drilbur.

Using Fountains

You can place more Fountains like the one at the very north of the starting area to further increase Humidity.

Buy a second Horsea Fountain from the PC Shop for 50 Coins, and place it in the pond directly to the east of Drilbur's home.

Rain Dance Party

Eventually, once you've progressed the Humidity enough, Squirtly will suggest a Rain Dance Party.

Collect some Leppa Berries by headbutting trees, and craft a Wooden Plate using 1x Lumber.

Head over to a nearby wall, and place the Wooden Plate down with the Leppa Berry on top. Next, place the Castform Dolls on the wall either side of it.

Finally, go and grab Squirtle to complete the Rain Dance, and that should be the very last thing you need for Slowpoke to perform their 100-point yawn!
