Overview
Growlithe is a Fire-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Puppy Pokemon (Dex #088). Growlithe is an approachable and common Pokemon that can be found in two habitats: Perpetual Mess and Resort Meal Prep. It carries two specialties: Search for finding buried items and Burn for igniting flammable objects like campfires and furnaces. In the main series, Growlithe evolves into Arcanine, though evolution does not occur in Pokopia.
Habitats
Growlithe can spawn at two different habitats, both of which are available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
Perpetual Mess
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Cardboard Boxes | 1 | Found or crafted throughout the game |
Toy (any) | 2 | Any toy item works |
Growlithe appears as a Common visitor at the Perpetual Mess habitat. This is one of the simpler habitats to construct, requiring only a cardboard box and two toys. The Perpetual Mess represents a playful, cluttered area that appeals to Growlithe's puppy-like nature.
Resort Meal Prep
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Campfire | 1 | Craftable at a workbench |
Seat (any) | 1 | Any type of seating works |
Large Palm Tree | 1 | Found in warmer regions |
Plated Food | 1 | Cooked and plated at a cooking station |
Growlithe also appears as a Common visitor at the Resort Meal Prep habitat. This habitat represents a tropical cooking area and requires more items than the Perpetual Mess, but its campfire component aligns well with Growlithe's fire-loving nature.
Location
Both of Growlithe's habitats can be built in any region across Pokopia. The Perpetual Mess is the easier option, since cardboard boxes and toys are common early-game items. The Resort Meal Prep habitat requires a Large Palm Tree and Plated Food, which become available in later regions. Growlithe is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
How to Befriend
The simplest approach is to build the Perpetual Mess habitat using a cardboard box and two toys. Place these items near each other, and Growlithe will appear as a Common visitor. Walk up and interact with Growlithe to befriend it.
Specialties
Search
Growlithe has the Search specialty. If you hold the Dowsing Machine and press the A button while walking with Growlithe, you will start looking for buried items. Unlike the Zubat line, Growlithe does not have any time restrictions, making it a reliable daytime Search companion.
Burn
Growlithe also has the Burn specialty. Pokemon with Burn can set fire to flammable objects such as campfires, furnaces, and other fire-based crafting stations. This is a handy specialty for keeping your cooking and smelting operations running without needing to manually light fires. Station Growlithe near your campfire or furnace, and it will ignite them during its free time.

Tips
Growlithe is one of the easiest Fire-type Pokemon to befriend. The Perpetual Mess habitat only requires a cardboard box and two toys, all of which are available early in the game.
Station Growlithe near your campfire or furnace to keep it lit automatically using its Burn specialty.
Growlithe's Search specialty works during the day, making it a great alternative to night-only Search Pokemon like Zubat and Golbat.
Furnish Growlithe's habitat area with warm, fire-themed, and nature items to increase its Comfort Level.
