11Overview22In Pokemon Pokopia, befriended Pokemon need homes to live in. While Pokemon can initially stay in their habitats, building dedicated dwellings is essential for raising their comfort level to higher tiers. Homes provide more floor space for furniture, better protection from weather, and overall happier living conditions. There are two approaches to housing: purchasing pre-built Building Kits from the PC Shop, or constructing custom houses block by block using the building system.44Two Building Methods66Building Kits (Prefab)88Building Kits are purchased from the PC Shop inside any rebuilt Pokemon Center using Life Coins. The shop has a limited daily stock that replenishes each day. To construct a kit:1010Purchase the Building Kit from the PC Shop.Place the kit at your desired location. Flat terrain works best.Supply the required materials listed on the kit.Assign a Pokemon with the Build specialty (such as Timburr, Machop, or Cubone) to begin construction.Wait for construction to finish. Time varies by size; a Leaf Den takes roughly 15 minutes, while larger builds take longer.1313Prefab buildings can be relocated using Relocation Kits and can be upgraded by placing another Building Kit over an existing structure. The interior may be larger than the exterior suggests, and some kits come with furniture pre-installed. Having Tinkmaster (Engineer specialty) nearby significantly speeds up construction.1515Custom Block Building1717Players can build entirely custom homes by laying blocks manually. To create a valid house, enclose a rectangular or square area with walls and attach a door. The game recognizes the structure as a dwelling once the enclosure is complete (a sparkle effect confirms recognition). Custom building rules:1919ParameterDetailMinimum size2x2 blocksMaximum size9x10 blocksMinimum wall height1 block (though 3+ blocks recommended for navigable interiors)Ceiling4th block high acts as ceiling or upper floorWall materialsAny blocks or fences count as wallsRequiredDoor must be attached for the game to recognize itRelocationCannot be relocated with Relocation Kits (must be demolished)Pokemon capacityUp to 4 Pokemon per custom house2121Custom structures offer the most flexibility for creative designs. You can build multi-story houses, open-air homes (roofless designs with just walls and a door), and elaborate mansions. The late-game Magnet Rise move is especially useful for custom building, as it allows vertical flight and mid-air block placement without scaffolding.2222Standard Building Kits2424Standard residential Building Kits come in four material tiers and four sizes. Each tier uses different construction materials and has a distinct visual style. The four sizes determine room count and Pokemon capacity:2626SizeDescriptionRoomsDenA small dwelling for medium-sized Pokemon or smaller1 roomHutA modest home that any Pokemon could easily live in1-2 roomsCottageA comfortable place where two Pokemon can relax2 roomsHouseA ginormous house where everyone can live together3+ rooms2828All Standard Kits by Tier2929TierDen KitHut KitCottage KitHouse KitLeafLeaf Den KitLeaf Hut KitLeaf Cottage KitLeaf House KitSandSand Den KitSand Hut KitSand Cottage KitSand House KitStoneStone Den KitStone Hut KitStone Cottage KitStone House KitCityCity Den KitCity Hut KitCity Cottage KitCity House Kit3131Leaf Kits are available earliest and use basic materials (Leaves, Vine Rope, Small Logs). Sand Kits use sand-based materials. Stone Kits require Stone and Lumber. City Kits are the most advanced, requiring Bricks, Iron, and other industrial materials that become available in later regions.3232Special Building Kits3434In addition to the standard 16 kits, several special residential kits with unique appearances are available:3636KitDescriptionPoke Ball House KitMakes a house that looks like a giant Poke BallPink Hut KitMakes a cute plaster house with a pink exteriorOrange Hut KitMakes a fancy brick house with warm-toned wallsGray Hut KitMakes a cool stone house with a muted aestheticGray Cottage KitA high-class house with a serene atmosphere, full of luxurious furnitureYellow Hut KitMakes a flashy concrete house with a modern lookLog Cabin KitMakes a house that has a pleasing woodsy aroma3838Commercial and Public Building Kits3939Non-residential Building Kits are also available for building community infrastructure:4141KitFunctionPoke Mart KitRetail shop where Pokemon and items can be tradedSmall Office KitA small workspace buildingRelaxing Park KitAn outdoor relaxation area that boosts nearby Pokemon comfortStylish Cafe KitA cafe building where Pokemon can gatherConcert Stage KitA performance stage for DJ Rotom and Hype-specialty PokemonFountain Plaza KitA decorative plaza centered around a fountain4343Building Materials4444Different Building Kits and custom blocks require various materials.

It is unlocked during the early Withered Wasteland story progression:5353Reach Environment Level 2 in the Withered Wasteland.Purchase 3 Leaf Den Kits from the PC Shop for 50 Life Coins.Build a house and progress the story until Charmander asks to celebrate.Bring Charmander to Professor Tangrowth to receive your first Ditto Flag.5656After receiving your first Ditto Flag, you unlock the crafting recipe: 1 Sturdy Stick + 1 Twine + 1 Leppa Berry. Only one home per area can be designated as your player home via the Ditto Flag. Placing the flag inside a house sets it as your fast-travel destination for that region.5858Housing Capacity6060Each house can accommodate a specific number of Pokemon residents depending on its type:6262Custom block houses hold up to 4 Pokemon regardless of size. Expanding the house does not increase this cap.Building Kit houses vary by size: Dens hold 1 Pokemon, Huts hold 1-2, Cottages hold 2, and Houses hold up to 4.Habitats placed inside houses do NOT count against the housing capacity limit. Each habitat houses exactly one additional Pokemon.6464To move a Pokemon into a house: ask the Pokemon to follow you (Up on the D-pad), walk to the house, speak to the Pokemon near the house, and select the option to ask if it wants to move in. Some Pokemon may refuse if the house does not match their preferences (e.g., a water-type Pokemon may prefer a house near water).6666Comfort Level System6868Every Pokemon has a comfort level that measures how happy it is with its living conditions. There are five comfort tiers:7070TierNameEffect1IffyLowest tier; Pokemon is unsatisfied with its living situation2AverageDefault tier for Pokemon living in basic habitats3NicePokemon is content; provides moderate Environment Level contribution4GreatPokemon is very happy; strong Environment Level contribution5AwesomeHighest tier; maximum Environment Level contribution and productivity7272To raise a Pokemon's comfort, use these methods:7373MethodDescriptionPlace furnitureAdd items matching the Pokemon's preferences (check the Specialties & Likes tab in the Pokedex). Relaxation items (beds, chairs, sofas) directly boost comfort.Move to a houseComfort rises faster in houses than open habitats because of the extra room for decorations.Complete requestsPokemon flag you down with personal requests; completing these gives large comfort boosts that bypass furniture limits.Give giftsItems matching a Pokemon's favorites from the Pokedex increase comfort.Feed preferred foodCooked meals matching the Pokemon's flavor preferences boost comfort.Remove disliked itemsComfort decreases when disliked items are placed near a Pokemon's habitat.7575Habitat zones are marked by white boundary lines (visible by clicking the right stick). Zones can overlap between adjacent Pokemon, allowing shared furniture to benefit multiple residents.7676Environment Level7878Each area in Pokopia has its own Environment Level (1 through 10), driven by the cumulative comfort of all Pokemon in that area. Higher Environment Levels unlock new items in the PC Shop and are required for story progression:8080Environment Level 5 in each area is required to reach the game's ending.Environment Level 10 unlocks everything available in the PC Shop for that area.Legendary and Mythical Pokemon provide a larger comfort contribution toward the Environment Level than regular Pokemon.Removing Pokemon from an area decreases its Environment Level score and can re-lock previously unlocked items.8282A few well-furnished houses with happy Pokemon push the Environment Level higher than many neglected habitats. Focusing on quality of housing rather than quantity of habitats is the most efficient approach.8484Demolition and Relocation8686Demolition Kit8888Demolition Kits cost 10 Life Coins from the PC Shop. To demolish a building:9090Purchase a Demolition Kit from the PC Shop.Place the kit outside the building you want to demolish.Assign a Pokemon with the Bulldoze specialty (Onix, Makuhita, or Snorlax) as the project leader.Add helper Pokemon to speed up the process.The building is permanently destroyed and materials are returned at the demolition site.9292Relocation Kit9494Relocation Kits also cost 10 Life Coins. They work similarly to Demolition Kits but preserve the building for placement at a new location. After a Bulldoze-specialty Pokemon completes the relocation preparation, you receive a Relocation Kit (reconstruct) that can be placed at the new desired location. Relocation Kits only work on buildings made from Building Kits; custom block builds cannot be relocated and must be demolished and rebuilt manually.9696Upgrade and Remodel9898To upgrade or remodel a kit-built structure, place another Building Kit over the existing building. The interior furniture is preserved during remodeling. However, the house cannot be occupied by any Pokemon during the remodel process, and the size cannot be reduced during upgrades.100100Tips102102Start with Leaf Dens early in the game. They are cheap and provide a basic comfort boost over open habitats.Upgrade to Stone and City kits as materials become available. The extra rooms make a significant difference in achievable comfort tiers.Use the 3D Printer at the Pokemon Center to duplicate furniture for filling multiple homes quickly.Custom block houses are best for creative designs, but Building Kits are more practical since they can be relocated.Place houses near each other for the neighborhood effect. Social Pokemon are happier when their home is close to other Pokemon's homes.Check each Pokemon's Specialties & Likes tab in the Pokedex before furnishing their home. Matching furniture preferences gives a much stronger comfort boost.You can build valid open-air houses by using one-block-high walls and a door. The game recognizes any enclosed rectangular area with a door as a valid dwelling.Tinkmaster (Engineer specialty) reduces construction time for all building projects. Always have Tinkmaster nearby when starting a new build.Decorations placed outside and inside the house contribute to comfort. Placing items just outside the boundary line still counts if the zone overlaps.
