Overview
Bonsly is a Rock-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Bonsai Pokemon (Dex #165). From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat. Bonsly is the pre-evolution of Sudowoodo and carries the Bulldoze specialty, which lets it clear and flatten terrain.
Habitat
Bonsly is found at the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat (#099). Pokemon are drawn to this place, invited by the damp aroma of the red tall grass.
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Large Tree (any) | 1 | Any large tree type works |
Red Tall Grass | 4 | Planted or found in the wild |
Bonsly appears as a Common visitor at this habitat. It is available during all times of day (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night) and in all weather conditions (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy). This habitat is shared with Diglett (Common), Dugtrio (Rare), and Sudowoodo (Rare). The Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass can be built across multiple biomes.
How to Befriend
Build the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat by placing one Large Tree of any type and four Red Tall Grass near each other. Since Bonsly is a Common visitor, it should appear fairly quickly. Walk up and interact with it to befriend it. This is one of the simpler habitats to set up, requiring only two types of items.
Specialty: Bulldoze
Bonsly has the Bulldoze specialty. Pokemon with the Bulldoze specialty can clear terrain, flatten ground, and prepare land for building. This is particularly useful when expanding your island or creating space for new habitats and structures. Bonsly shares this specialty with Larvitar and Pupitar, though those Pokemon also carry the Crush specialty alongside Bulldoze.

Related Pokemon
Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo (Dex #166) in the main Pokemon series when it levels up while knowing Mimic. In Pokopia, there is no evolution mechanic, so each must be found at its own habitat independently. Both Bonsly and Sudowoodo appear at the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat (#099), with Bonsly as a Common visitor and Sudowoodo as a Rare visitor. Sudowoodo also appears at the House Party habitat (#123) as a Common visitor. Bonsly has the Bulldoze specialty while Sudowoodo has the Trade specialty.
Tips
Bonsly and Sudowoodo both appear at the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat, so building it lets you work toward befriending both family members from one location.
