Add comprehensive buildings table with all 43 buildings and icon images from PokopiaDex
Building is one of the core gameplay systems in Pokemon Pokopia. Players construct residential homes for Pokemon, public facilities, power generators, and special structures. Buildings can be created using building kits purchased from the Pokemon Center PC Shop, or built block-by-block by hand. There are 43 buildings in total across residential, utility, commercial, and legendary categories.
Buildings are constructed using building kits. Purchase a kit from the PC Shop, place it in your desired location, gather the required materials, and assign Pokemon with the Build specialty to work on it. The number of Pokemon needed varies by building size. Smaller structures like Dens need just 1 Pokemon, while large Houses require 5. Legendary building kits require 15 Pokemon.
You can also build structures block-by-block by hand. Hand-built structures need at least four walls and must be at least two blocks in height to count as a functional building. Place at least three furniture items inside to make it a home where Pokemon can live.

The Leaf Den is the first building kit you unlock and the cheapest to build. Prioritize rebuilding your area's Pokemon Center early for access to the PC Shop, 3D Printer, and healing. Place power generators near clusters of items that need electricity. Pokemon with the Build specialty (Cubone, Marowak, Timburr, Gurdurr, Pinsir, Heracross) speed up construction. Pokemon with the Bulldoze specialty (Onix, Makuhita, Hariyama) can relocate or demolish buildings. Tinkmaster's Engineer specialty is required for the largest building projects in Sparkling Skylands.
