11Overview22Fresh Water is a drink item in Pokemon Pokopia classified under the Food category. Its in-game description reads: "Delicious water that's perfect for making soup. Drink some and spit it out to make things wet." This short description captures both of its primary uses. Fresh Water is the required liquid base for every soup recipe in the game, and it can also be consumed and expelled by Ditto to create regular water sources in the environment.44Fresh Water has a Bland flavor, meaning it carries no flavor value on its own. The flavor of a finished soup is determined entirely by the other ingredients combined with it.66Quick Reference88PropertyDetailsCategoryFood (Drink)FlavorBland (no flavor)Liquid CreatedRegular waterPrimary UseBase ingredient for all soup recipesSecondary UseSpit out to create water sourcesSourceVending Machines1010How to Obtain1212Vending Machines1414The primary way to get Fresh Water is from vending machines. Each powered vending machine dispenses one random drink per day, and Fresh Water is one of five possible results. The daily selection resets at 5:00 AM local time. If you do not receive Fresh Water on a given day, you can try again the next day or visit a different machine.1616Vending machines require electricity to operate. You need to connect them to a power source (such as a windmill, waterwheel, or furnace) using Utility Poles. Alternatively, a Pokemon with the Generate specialty can temporarily power a machine.1818Vending Machine Locations2020Pre-built vending machines can be found in two areas early in the game:2222AreaNumber of MachinesNearby Power SourceWithered Wasteland2 (northern area)Windmill nearby; connect via Utility PolesBleak Beach2 (near waterwheels)One near Mosslax's cave, one near Smearguru's painting area2424Additional vending machines can be crafted using copper ingots, pokemetal, and glass, then placed anywhere in your settlements. The more machines you have powered up, the more chances you get each day to receive Fresh Water.2525Other Vending Machine Drinks2727Fresh Water is one of five drinks that vending machines can dispense. Each drink creates a different type of liquid when consumed and spit out:2929DrinkLiquid CreatedFlavorFresh WaterRegular waterBlandSoda PopSeawaterDryMoomoo Milk CoffeeMuddy waterSweetRoserade TeaHot-spring waterBitterChili SauceLavaSpicy3131Cooking with Fresh Water3232Fresh Water is the mandatory liquid ingredient for all six soup recipes in the game. You cannot make soup without it. Soups are prepared at a Cooking Pot placed on a Stove, which becomes available after freeing Chef Dente during the Rocky Ridges questline. Each soup requires one Fresh Water plus additional ingredients.3434Soup Recipes3636All soups share the same core effect: powering up the Water Gun transformation.

In its base form, Water Gun covers a 5-tile cross pattern. After consuming soup, the range expands to cover a wider area (approximately 9 tiles), making it much more efficient for watering crops and reviving dry grass. The boosted Water Gun is indicated by the PP gauge turning gold. The buff lasts until you deplete the powered-up PP.4343Creating Water Sources4545Beyond cooking, Fresh Water can be consumed and spit out to place regular water in the environment. After drinking Fresh Water, Ditto holds the liquid in its mouth. Travel to the desired spot and press A to spit it out, creating a new water source on the ground.4747This works similarly to the Suck up Liquids ability learned from Paldean Wooper, but using a vending machine drink does not require you to have an existing water body nearby. This makes Fresh Water especially useful for placing the very first water source in a dry biome like the Withered Wasteland.4949Water Source Behavior5151When spit onto flat ground, the water spreads outward in a circle. Near cliffs or edges, it may flow downward to create streams or waterfalls. Water placed on enclosed surfaces (such as a pit lined with blocks) stays contained as a pool. Spitting water onto open terrain without borders can cause it to spread unpredictably, so building an enclosure first is recommended.5353Placing water near habitats raises the local humidity level, which benefits Pokemon that prefer humid environments. This makes Fresh Water a practical tool for fine-tuning habitat conditions.5555Tips5757Craft extra vending machines. Since each machine gives only one random drink per day, having more machines increases your daily chances of getting Fresh Water. Place them in clusters near your cooking area for convenience.5959Save Fresh Water for soup. If you need regular water sources, it is more efficient to use the Suck up Liquids ability to relocate existing water rather than spending your limited Fresh Water supply. Reserve Fresh Water for cooking, where it is irreplaceable.6161Cook soup before large farming sessions. The Water Gun upgrade from soup makes watering crops significantly faster. Prepare a batch of Simple Soup (Fresh Water + any 2 food items) before tending to your fields.6363Check machines daily. Vending machine stock resets at 5:00 AM local time. Make visiting your machines part of your daily routine to build up a reserve of Fresh Water for cooking.6565See Also6767Vending Machines - Full guide to vending machine locations, power requirements, and all available drinks6969Cooking - Overview of the cooking system and all recipe types7171All Cooking Recipes - Complete list of every recipe in the game7373Water Gun - Details on the Water Gun transformation and upgrades7575Water Sources and Waterfalls - How to create and manage water in your settlements7777Suck up Liquids - The liquid-moving ability learned from Paldean Wooper7979Food Flavors - Guide to the flavor system and how it affects recipes
