11Overview2233Rare Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia are Pokemon that appear less frequently at habitats compared to common species. They include evolved forms of Pokemon and some single-stage basic Pokemon. The Habitat Dex marks rare Pokemon with a rarity indicator, so you can see which habitats contain rare species by hovering over silhouettes.4455How to Find Rare Pokemon6677MethodDescriptionIdentify target habitatsOpen your Habitat Dex and look for habitats that contain rare Pokemon. Silhouettes with rarity indicators show which species are rare or very rare.Build multiple habitatsBuild as many copies of the target habitat as you need. More habitats of the same type increase the chance of attracting the rare Pokemon you want.Wait for spawnsRare Pokemon take longer than common Pokemon to appear at habitats. Be patient, as spawn times can vary significantly based on luck.Check regularlyIf you feel like you are not getting any Pokemon spawns despite having several available habitats, there is a good chance your next spawn will be rare.8899Rarity Classifications10101111RarityDescriptionCommonPokemon that appear frequently at habitatsRareModerately uncommon Pokemon; takes longer to appearVery RareExtremely uncommon Pokemon; requires significant patience or multiple habitats1212Time Manipulation13131414If waiting becomes tedious, you can speed up the process by changing the date and time on your Nintendo Switch 2 to force new Pokemon spawns. This is optional and sacrifices immersion, but it can save hours of waiting for particularly elusive rare species.15151616Rare Pokemon List (Generation I)17171818Pokedex #PokemonRarityHabitat(s)#002IvysaurRareField of Flowers, Bench With Greenery#003VenusaurVery RareField of Flowers, Garden Terrace#005CharmeleonRareCampsite#008WartortleRareHydrated Tall Grass#009BlastoiseVery RareHydrated Tall Grass, Floating in the Shade#015VileplumeRareChansey Resting Area#016BellossomRareChansey Resting Area#018ParasectRareElevated Flower Bed, Flower Garden#020VenomothRareIlluminated Tall Grass, Illuminated Bench#022WeepinbellRareFlowery Table, Irresistible Scent and Glow#023VictreebelVery RareFlowery Table, Irresistible Scent and Glow#025SlowbroVery Rare / RareSeaside Tall Grass, Bed With a Plush, Fishing Pond#026SlowkingVery Rare / RareSeaside Tall Grass, Bed With a Plush, Fishing Pond#028MagnetonRareTrash Can Central, Mini Game Corner#033MarowakRareGrave With Flowers1919Rare Pokemon List (Event Pokemon)20202121Pokedex #PokemonRarityHabitat(s)#E-002SkiploomRareYellow Carpet, Field-Trip Friends#E-003JumpluffVery RareYellow Carpet, Dandelion Lunchtime2222Rare Pokemon List (Generation III and Later)23232424Pokedex #PokemonRarityHabitat(s)#044PinsirRareTree-Shaded Tall Grass#050HeracrossRareTree-Shaded Tall Grass#051VolbeatRareHydrated Flower Bed#052IllumiseRareHydrated Flower Bed#056CacturneRareTree-Shaded Flower Bed#059West Sea ShellosRareRoad Sign#059.1East Sea ShellosRareRoad Sign#060West Sea GastrodonRareOcean Fishing Spot#060.1East Sea GastrodonRareOcean Fishing Spot#064ExcadrillRareFresh Veggie Field#066GurdurrRareLarge Luggage Carrier#069LampentRareGrave Offering, Creepy Grave Offering#070ChandelureRareCreepy Grave Offering#073HaxorusRareLumberjack's Workplace, Cozy Log Handicrafts#082GolbatRareTree-Shaded Yellow Tall Grass#083CrobatRareElevated Yellow Tall Grass, Trash Disposal Site#089ArcanineRareMini Museum#099ExeggutorRare / Very RareTropical Vibes, Shaded Beach#105ElectivireRareVending Machine Set#110AriadosRareYellow Tall Grass#112FlaaffyRareNight Festival Venue, Knitting Station#113AmpharosRarePlain Life#115MarillRareHydrated Yellow Tall Grass, Dock#116AzumarillRareDock#118ClodsireRareMarshy Tall Grass, Marsh Fishing Spot#122BlazikenVery RareChirp-Chirp Meal, Furnace Spot#124PelipperRareElevated Yellow Tall Grass, Windy Flower Bed#126HariyamaRareTree-Shaded Yellow Tall Grass, All Packed Up#129PrinplupRareHydrated Yellow Tall Grass, Waterwheel Spot#133GarbodorRareTrash Collection Site#135ZoroarkRareBreezy Flower Bed, Surprise in Store#139CharjabugRareVending Machine Break Area#147ArbokRareHydrated Graceful Flower Bed#149ClefairyVery RareGraceful Flower Bed, Bronze Landmark#150ClefableRareGraceful Flower Bed, Bronze Landmark#158MachampRareGrassy Training Field, Clink-Clang Iron Construction#168HonchkrowRareElevated Red Tall Grass, Chirping Recital#171TyranitarVery RareToil in the Soil, Mossy Rest Spot#173LombreRareHydrated Red Tall Grass, Hot-Spring Fishing Spot#174LudicoloRareUplifting Duckweed#178KricketuneRareRed Tall Grass, Music and Magazines#184VolcaronaVery RareTree-Shaded Graceful Flower Bed, Piping-Hot Lava#199DachsbunRareGraceful Flower Bed, Best Bread Bakery#249ServineRareTree-Shaded Fluffy Flower Bed#261DrakloakRareTree-Shaded Pink Tall Grass, Office Storeroom#269TinkatuffRareLarge Luggage Carrier, Sewer-Hole Inspection2525Tips26262727Check the Habitat Dex regularly to see which rare Pokemon you are still missing.
