11Overview22Collect is a rare Pokemon Specialty in Pokemon Pokopia. Pokemon with the Collect specialty exchange lost relics or rare feathers (Rainbow Feather, Silver Feather) for other items, similar to how Trade-specialty Pokemon exchange materials. Collect is exclusive to the Gimmighoul line.44What it Does66Accepts Lost Relics in exchange for itemsAccepts rare feathers (Rainbow and Silver) in exchange for itemsFunctions like a specialty barter shop, distinct from the regular Trade-specialty cash register88Pokemon with Collect Specialty1111Gimmighoul (Chest Form)Gholdengo1313How to Unlock Collect Trades1515The Collect specialty becomes available after befriending Gimmighoul in the abandoned museum at Rocky Ridges, then completing the request Show Off a Rainbow Feather. Until that request is finished, Gimmighoul will not accept any items.1717Step-by-step:1919Reach Rocky Ridges, the third story region, by progressing the main quest.Locate the pile of Volcanic Ash blocks to the right of the Rocky Ridges Pokemon Center.Use Rock Smash to break through the Volcanic Ash blocks. Hitmonchan is the Pokemon that teaches Rock Smash.Follow the path into the hidden museum area. Use Water Gun on magma along the way to create permanent stone paths.Interact with the red treasure chest on the podium to meet Gimmighoul (Chest Form).Accept the request Show Off a Rainbow Feather. Wait for Ho-Oh's flyover, listen for its cry, and use Water Gun to extinguish the burning Rainbow Feather so you can pick it up.Return the Rainbow Feather to Gimmighoul. Trading is unlocked from that point on.2121What You Can Trade2323After unlocking, the following items can be exchanged with Collect-specialty Pokemon. All four items draw from the same shared reward pool, so the only thing your offering changes is which item you spend, not what you receive.2525ItemSourceNotesSmall Lost Relic (appraised)Glowing blocks across all five areasMust be appraised by Professor Tangrowth first; unappraised relics are rejected.Large Lost Relic (appraised)Glowing blocks (rarer than Small Relics)Same appraisal requirement. Yields the rare-furniture pool.Rainbow FeatherDropped by Ho-Oh during sunny flyoversUse Water Gun to extinguish the flames before pickup.Silver FeatherDropped by Lugia during overcast or rainy flyoversUse Cut to dispel the wind tornado before pickup.2727Important: Lost Relics must be appraised by Professor Tangrowth before Gimmighoul or Gholdengo will accept them. Tangrowth wanders near the Pokemon Center in every area, so appraising is quick if you set him as a follower.2828Where to Find Collect-Specialty Pokemon3030PokemonLocationHow to BefriendRarityGimmighoul (Chest Form)Abandoned museum, Rocky Ridges (behind Volcanic Ash blocks)Story encounter inside the museum, then build the Mini Museum habitat (3 Posts, 1 Exhibition Stand, 1 appraised Large Lost Relic).Story encounter; Common visitor at the Mini Museum afterwards.GholdengoAbsolute Luxury habitat (any area)Build the Absolute Luxury habitat with one Luxury Lamp, one Luxury Bed, one Luxury Sofa, and one Luxury Table placed near each other.Rare visitor; available all times of day in any weather.3232Both Pokemon share the same trade pool. Building both habitats doubles the convenience but does not unlock any extra rewards.3333Reward Pool3535All Collect trades draw from a single shared reward pool. The reward is always one random furniture item, regardless of which item you offered. There is no way to target a specific piece. The pool spans several style categories:3737CategoryExample PiecesNotesGamer / Pop ArtPop Art Table, Pop Art Sofa, Gaming Bed, Gaming FridgeMany items in this category are exclusive to Collect trades.LuxuryLuxury furniture, dressers, storage chestsPairs with the Absolute Luxury habitat that attracts Gholdengo.AntiqueAntique chairs, tables, closets, lighting fixturesUseful for filling antique-themed habitats.CuteBerry Wall Decoration, Berry Table Lamp, berry-themed clocksPairs with cute-style habitats.Poke BallPoke Ball-themed chests, lamps, tablesSome Poke Ball items are also obtainable through Mystery Gift Codes.MusicMusic Mats spanning the eight notes from low Do through high DoPairs with DJ Rotom's music selection.MaterialsStrange Strings and other late-game crafting materialsStrange Strings are difficult to find anywhere else and feed several late-game recipes.Environmental RocksHeat Rock, Icy Rock, Smooth Rock, Damp RockRequired by certain weather-themed habitats.3939Trading Strategy4040Trades are random, so the most efficient approach is to batch items and trade in bulk. Specific strategies that pay off:4242Reserve feathers for the bells first. Five Rainbow Feathers craft the Clear Bell needed to summon Ho-Oh, and five Silver Feathers craft the Tidal Bell needed to summon Lugia. Trade only the surplus.Use Mosslax buffs. Feed Mosslax Dry food daily to increase Rainbow and Silver Feather drop rates. Feed Mosslax Sweet food during dedicated relic runs to boost Ancient Artifacts finds in glowing blocks.Set a Search-specialty follower. Pidgey, Paras, Venonat, and other Search Specialty Pokemon expose hidden glowing blocks via the Dowsing Machine.Appraise constantly. Set Professor Tangrowth as a follower so every relic can be appraised on the spot. Unappraised relics cannot be traded.Visit Dream Islands. Dream Islands via Drifloon expose extra glowing block spawns and additional relic chances per day.Trade in batches, not one at a time. There is no daily trade limit, so making one visit with ten or more items is far more efficient than ten visits with one item.4444Comparison to Trade Specialty4646Collect resembles Trade Specialty because both run barter shops, but the systems differ in three important ways:4848AspectCollect SpecialtyTrade SpecialtyPokemon countTwo: Gimmighoul (Chest Form) and GholdengoMore than 40 Pokemon across multiple linesCurrencyLost Relics, Rainbow Feathers, Silver FeathersStandard materials and Life Coins through Cash Register standsInventorySingle shared random pool of exclusive furniturePer-Pokemon rotating inventory of items and materialsDaily limitNone; trade as many items as you carry per visitPer-Pokemon and per-day rotationTargetingRandom output; no way to select a specific pieceEach cash register lists what it stocks that day5050Because Collect rewards are random and exclusive, treat Collect as a long-tail completionist activity rather than a reliable supplier of any single item.5151Tips5353Stockpile rare feathers from legendary bird sightings before visiting a Collect Pokemon. The trade rates favor batches.Gimmighoul (Chest Form) is the easier of the two to befriend. Gholdengo unlocks later in the game.Collect-specialty trades are often the only way to obtain certain rare items, so prioritize befriending at least one of these Pokemon for completionist runs.
