The habitat requires the following items:88991010ItemQuantityNotesLarge Palm Tree1Must be a large-sized palm; use a Grow specialty Pokemon to grow a small palm if neededHedge (any type)4Any hedge variant worksOcean Water (adjacent)2 tilesPlace the habitat directly on the coastline1111The habitat must be placed close enough to the sea for it to register properly. If the palm tree is not large enough, lead a Pokemon with the Grow specialty (such as Bulbasaur) near the tree to increase its size. Avoid building the Tropical Seaside inside another habitat's footprint, as overlapping habitats can prevent spawns.12121313Location14141515Lapras is exclusive to the Bleak Beach region. Players unlock Bleak Beach after completing the Withered Wasteland storyline and reaching the Great Trainer Rank. Lapras cannot be found in any other area.16161717How to Befriend18181919Lapras can only be befriended through the Swimming Time request. The process works as follows:20202121Speak to Professor Tangrowth and ask about swimming. He will direct you to find Lapras.Piplup will also display a yellow speech bubble expressing its desire to swim, providing a hint about the Tropical Seaside habitat.Build the Tropical Seaside habitat on the Bleak Beach coastline using the items listed above.Wait a short time for Lapras to appear at the habitat.Speak to Lapras to receive its request: clear 80 tiles of mud using Water Gun.After clearing all 80 mud tiles across Bleak Beach, return to Lapras to learn Surf.22222323Move Taught: Surf24242525Lapras teaches Ditto the Surf transformation, a full-body transformation that lets Ditto take on Lapras's complete form and swim across any body of water. Surf does not consume PP, so you can swim indefinitely. Press B near water to activate the transformation, and Ditto will automatically revert when reaching land.26262727Specialty: Water28282929Lapras has the Water specialty. Pokemon with this specialty will spray water on nearby fields and plants when a basin filled with water is placed near their habitat. This makes Lapras useful for automating crop irrigation without manually using Water Gun.30303131Preferences32323333CategoryDetailIdeal EnvironmentHumidFavorite FlavorSourLikesLots of water, ocean vibes, cleanliness, watching things, healingRarityCommonTime of DayAll (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night)WeatherAll (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy)3434Pokedex Information35353636FieldValueDex Number#120TypeWater / IceSpeciesTransport PokemonGeneration13737Tips38383939Make sure the palm tree is large before completing the habitat. A small palm tree will not satisfy the habitat requirement.You can speed up the mud-clearing task by eating a Soup to power up Water Gun, which lets you spray a wider area per use.After learning Surf, explore the small offshore islands around Bleak Beach for hidden Poke Balls and crafting materials.Lapras pairs well with Paldean Wooper for water management, as Suck Up Liquids lets you relocate water while Surf lets you traverse it.
