33 Roofs are an important part of building in Pokemon Pokopia. They serve both decorative and functional purposes: some Pokemon require roofed habitats to feel comfortable, and roofs protect fire sources from rain. Roof tiles are placed like standard blocks but use slanted angles to create realistic roof shapes.

55 How to Place Roofs

77 Use slanted roof tiles like any standard block. Hold the ZL button while moving to modify the height and angle of the tile during placement. This makes it easier to line up consecutive tiles for a smooth roof surface.

1010 Since roof placement usually happens at elevated positions, you will likely need to build access first. Construct ladders or use temporary scaffolding made from any building blocks to raise yourself to the required height. Remove the scaffolding after the roof is complete.

3232 Roofs shield fire sources from rain. If your habitat requires burning items (for Fire-type or warmth-loving Pokemon), a roof prevents rain from extinguishing the flames. This is essential for maintaining warm habitat conditions in rainy regions.
