Crush Specialty
April 18, 2026 at 10:12 PM
Corrected introductory count from 22 to 23 Pokemon to match the list
The Crush specialty allows Pokemon to process materials into other items. Its primary use is producing paint from berries. Give a berry to a Crush Pokemon and it grinds the berry into 5 bowls of colored paint, with a small chance to produce bonus Black or White paint. Crush Pokemon can also create Concrete when paired with a Mixer.
Approach a Pokemon with the Crush specialty.
Select "Look at this" and choose a berry from your inventory.
The Pokemon will process the berry into 5 bowls of paint.
Collect the paint bowls from the ground nearby.

In addition to producing Paint from berries, Crush Pokemon can also produce Cement when paired with a Mixer. This is essential for late-game construction recipes that call for Cement as a structural material.
Craft a Mixer (unlocked in the PC Shop at Environment Level 3)
Place the Mixer next to a Crush Pokemon's habitat
Offer the Pokemon raw Stone or Sand; the mixer will process these into Cement over time
Onix is the earliest Crush-specialty Pokemon and is unlocked during the Yawn Up a Storm main quest. Keep Onix in your main settlement for early Paint production.
Pawmot triples as Crush, Generate, and Hype. For single-resident value, Pawmot is one of the best Pokemon in the game.
Fossil Pokemon (Cranidos, Shieldon, Tyrunt, Amaura) all have Crush. Revive fossils through the Sparkling Skylands Museum to access them.
Paint production is daily-capped per Pokemon. Distribute your berry deliveries across multiple Crush residents to maximize output.
