2222 Cannon Mechanics
2323  
2424 Cannons are placeable furniture that fire Explode Pokemon (or Fireworks as alternative ammunition) to destroy blocks and terrain on impact. The cannon fires in a fixed direction relative to its placement, so positioning is key.
2525  
2626 Cannons cannot be tilted up or down. Aim by placing the cannon at the elevation that produces the correct arc.Building a one-block or two-block platform under the cannon raises its launch angle.Any Explode Pokemon nearby will hop inside automatically when you interact with the cannon. You do not need to lead them in manually.Firing consumes zero PP, unlike Ditto moves.No Burn specialty Pokemon is needed to ignite the cannon. It fires automatically when an Explode Pokemon is loaded.

3030 If Voltorb or Electrode are not available, cannons also accept Fireworks as ammunition. Fireworks destroy a smaller area than Explode Pokemon and are consumable (one-time use), but they can be crafted in larger quantities. For bulk terrain clearing on a Cloud Island, Fireworks are often more practical than waiting on a single Voltorb to recharge.
