Revision 1

Overview

Pokemon Pokopia includes multiple legendary and mythical Pokemon that can be encountered through story progression, Dream Island exploration, special building projects, and collectible quests. Unlike regular Pokemon, legendaries often have unique encounter conditions tied to completing specific quests or constructing particular buildings.

Legendary and mythical Pokemon have a greater effect on the Environment Level of the area you bring them to compared to regular Pokemon. As you improve their comfort level, it becomes easier to raise the entire area's Environment Level. This makes legendaries valuable for progression even beyond their unique specialties.

Story Legendaries

These legendary Pokemon are encountered as part of the main story progression. Each is tied to a specific area and unlocked by completing that area's main quest line. Story encounters are unmissable.

Raikou's Generate specialty allows it to power machines with electricity, making it useful for the electrical systems in Bleak Beach. Mewtwo's Teleport specialty instantly warps the player across the map to a requested Pokemon, making post-game navigation significantly faster.

Legendary Birds

The three legendary birds from Kanto require constructing specific Building Kits to attract them. These kits can be purchased from the Pokemon Center PC Shop or found in rare locations. Once encountered, all three birds can relocate to player towns and inhabit houses.

Building Kit encounters require sufficient space in the chosen area for the structure. Each kit creates a themed habitat that the corresponding legendary bird visits. After the initial encounter, the bird is added to your Pokedex and can return to your towns.

Legendary Beasts

Entei and Suicune are roaming legendaries found on Dream Islands. Unlike story legendaries, these require exploration and the right Doll type to encounter.

Dream Island spawns are not guaranteed on every visit. Multiple trips with the correct Doll may be needed before the legendary beast appears. Give the appropriate Doll to Drifloon to travel to Dream Islands.

Ho-Oh and Lugia

Ho-Oh and Lugia appear in the skies above Pokopia and periodically drop collectible feathers. These feathers are not used to encounter the legendary Pokemon themselves but serve as valuable trade items for Gimmighoul at the Pewter City Museum in Rocky Ridges.

Rainbow Feathers (Ho-Oh)

When Ho-Oh drops a Rainbow Feather, smoke rises into the sky from the feather's landing location. Use the smoke as a visual marker to track it down. The feather will be surrounded by flames when you arrive. Use Water Gun to extinguish the fire, then collect the Rainbow Feather. Trade Rainbow Feathers to Gimmighoul for special exclusive furniture and decorations.

Silver Wings (Lugia)

When Lugia drops a Silver Wing, a tornado spirals up into the air from its landing location. Head toward the tornado and use Cut on it before attempting to pick up the feather. Trade Silver Wings to Gimmighoul for pop art furniture items (tables, sofas, etc.).

Mythical Pokemon

Mew

Mew is the final Pokedex entry (#224) and the reward for collecting all 28 Mysterious Slates hidden throughout the game. Mysterious Slates are found inside glowing blocks (the same blocks that contain Lost Relics and Fossils). Each slate bears an Unown symbol engraving on its back.

In the Withered Wasteland, behind the Pokemon Center, punch down a wall to reveal a hidden chamber containing a mural of the entire Unown alphabet. Place each slate in the position matching its Unown symbol. As slates are inserted, a picture gradually forms. After all 28 slates are placed, Mew appears and joins the player. Mew has the Teleport specialty, like Mewtwo, and stays with the player rather than returning to a fixed location.

The game does not give duplicate slates until all unique ones are found, so every new slate brings you closer to Mew. Use a Pokemon with the Search specialty and the Dowsing Machine ability to locate glowing blocks more efficiently.

Post-Game Re-Encounters

After completing the main story and watching the credits, several legendary Pokemon can be re-encountered:

• Mewtwo can be re-encountered on Ditto Dream Islands during the post-game.

• Other story legendaries (Kyogre, Raikou, Volcanion) remain in their original locations after the initial story encounter.

• Legendary birds remain accessible at their Building Kit habitats.

• Entei and Suicune continue to appear on Dream Islands with the appropriate Dolls.

• Ho-Oh and Lugia continue to fly overhead and drop feathers periodically.

Environment Level Boost

All legendary and mythical Pokemon provide a greater boost to the Environment Level of whatever area they are placed in. Improving a legendary Pokemon's comfort level has an outsized impact on the area's overall Environment Level compared to regular Pokemon. This makes legendaries strategically valuable for raising Environment Levels in areas where you are struggling to reach the next threshold.

Tips

• Complete each area's main quest line to encounter the story legendaries. These are unmissable, so do not worry about accidentally skipping them.

• Buy the legendary bird Building Kits from the PC Shop as soon as they become available. Place them in spacious areas, with Palette Town recommended for the Abandoned Power Plant Kit.

• Bring multiple Ditto Dolls and Arcanine Dolls to Dream Islands to increase your chances of encountering Entei. Substitute Dolls are needed for Suicune.

• When you see smoke rising (Ho-Oh feather) or a tornado forming (Lugia feather), head to the location immediately. Use Water Gun on Ho-Oh feathers and Cut on Lugia feathers before collecting them.

• Save Rainbow Feathers and Silver Wings for Gimmighoul in the Rocky Ridges Museum. They trade for the best exclusive furniture items in the game.

• Start collecting Mysterious Slates early. The 28 slates needed for Mew are spread across all areas and found in the same glowing blocks as Lost Relics.

• Check behind the Withered Wasteland Pokemon Center for the hidden mural chamber. Knowing the chamber exists motivates you to collect slates throughout your playthrough.

• Place legendary Pokemon in areas where you need Environment Level boosts. Their enhanced comfort impact can push you over thresholds that regular Pokemon cannot reach alone.

• Mewtwo's Teleport specialty is one of the best in the game for post-game play, instantly warping you to any requested Pokemon on the map.
