33 Some Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia prefer dry environments with low humidity. Ground-type, Rock-type, and certain Fire-type Pokemon often thrive in arid conditions. Creating a dry habitat involves using dry blocks, placing the Smooth Rock item, removing water and vegetation, and shielding habitats from rain. Meeting a Pokemon's dryness preference raises its Comfort Level.

55 Methods to Make a Habitat Dry
66  
77 MethodDetailsUse Dry BlocksPlace the habitat on dry field grass or barren ordinary soil. These block types are guaranteed to not have moisture. Keep the habitat away from plants and water sources.Place a Smooth RockThe Smooth Rock dries up the area surrounding it, affecting blocks and vegetation up to 5 blocks away. The effect is not instantaneous; it takes a couple of seconds to dry out nearby tiles.Avoid Water SourcesKeep habitats away from bodies of water. Any nearby water (fresh water, ocean water, hot-spring water, muddy water) increases humidity in the area.Remove VegetationRemove any flowers and living plants near the habitat to decrease humidity. Dry grass and other withered plants are fine to keep; they do not raise humidity.Build a RoofA roof prevents rain from falling on the habitat. Once dry ground has been rained on, it will no longer be dry. A roof protects dry blocks from rain and maintains low humidity.Build in CavesNatural caves with full roofs provide complete protection from rain. Place habitats inside caves to guarantee a dry environment as long as no water sources are present inside.

2020 Rain is the biggest threat to dry habitats. Once dry ground gets rained on, it absorbs moisture and is no longer considered dry. Build a roof over dry habitats to prevent this. Alternatively, you can use a Pokemon with the Burn specialty at a Sunny Day site to change the weather to sunny and get rid of rain.
