33 Demolishing houses in Pokemon Pokopia is necessary when clearing space for new builds, reorganizing your town, or removing unwanted structures. There are two demolition methods depending on how the house was originally built. Fixed houses built with building kits require a Demolition Kit, while block-built structures can be destroyed using Pokemon moves.

1010 Requirements Before Demolishing
1111  
1212 Before using a Demolition Kit, you must remove everything inside the house. This includes all furniture and all resident Pokemon. The kit will not work if the house still has occupants or furnishings inside. Move Pokemon to other habitats and store furniture before starting.

1414 Method 2: Pokemon Moves
1515  
1616 Houses built using blocks can be demolished with the Rock Smash or Rollout moves. Set the desired move as your active move (visible in the bottom-right area of the screen) and use it directly on the block structure.

1818 This method only works on houses constructed from blocks. It will not affect fixed structures built with building kits. Rock Smash is unlocked by befriending Hitmonchan, and Rollout is learned through Graveler's Request.

2020 Important Warning
2121  
2222 Block-built houses do not require emptying before using move-based demolition. However, any Pokemon inside will feel sad because they are forcefully evicted. If possible, relocate resident Pokemon to other habitats before demolishing their home to avoid this.

2929 Before demolishing a house, consider using a Relocation Kit to move it instead. See How to Move Houses for details.Collect any valuable materials from the structure before demolishing. Some blocks drop crafting materials rather than the block itself when destroyed.If you want to change the appearance of a kit-built house without demolishing it, use the remodeling system instead.
