Revision - mosslax - Pokémon Pokopia Wiki

Overview

Mosslax is one of the seven Special Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia. It is a regional variant of Snorlax (Pokedex #108, Normal type) that has been sleeping for so long that moss, vines, and a small flower have grown across its entire body. Mosslax is found in Bleak Beach, where it resides in a cave and must be woken as part of the area's main storyline. It is the only Pokemon with the Eat specialty, which provides daily buffs based on the flavor of food offered.

Appearance

Mosslax's most striking feature is the thick layer of green moss covering its body, the result of its extraordinarily long slumber. A small, colorful flower grows from the top of its head, and the number of flowers blooming represents quest progress during the "Brighten Things Up" storyline. Underneath the moss, it retains the round, heavy build of a typical Snorlax. Its moss-covered appearance gives it a natural, almost camouflaged look that blends with the environment of Bleak Beach.

Location

Mosslax is found inside Mosslax's Cave on the cliff side of Bleak Beach, hidden behind rocks that must be broken with Rock Smash. The quest triggers when Meowth and Trubbish claim to hear an unusual noise coming from the cliff. To access Bleak Beach, players must first reach "Great" Trainer Rank on their Pokedex.

After being befriended, Snorlax/Mosslax can appear across all five areas through the Gourmet's Altar habitat (see below).

Waking Quest: "Brighten Things Up!"

After discovering Mosslax via Rock Smash, Professor Tangrowth assigns the main quest "Brighten Things Up!". Bleak Beach is permanently dark when first accessed, and the goal is to restore light and power to the area. Progress is tracked by Bloom Points, visually represented by the number of flowers blooming on Mosslax's head.

Quest Walkthrough

Light three streetlights using Pawmi or a similar Electric-type Pokemon.
Build a fire habitat at Torchic's suggestion.
Construct a Shell Lamp in Peakychu's cave and power it.
Install Utility Poles on blocks with circular dot markers. These connect streetlamps and machines to electrical generation systems.
Build and connect three generator types: a windmill (on the ocean), multiple waterwheels, and a furnace (burns unwanted resources).
Activate all five charging stations by connecting them to the power grid.
Once all five stations are powered, speak to Peakychu to bring the light back.
Raikou then appears, fully awakening Mosslax. Speaking to Mosslax finishes the Bleak Beach story.

The goal is to reach 100 Bloom Points to complete the quest and unlock Raikou. Peakychu is a new variant of Pikachu encountered on a small island during this quest. It has trouble generating electricity on its own and guides players through the electrical infrastructure mechanics (Shell Lamps, power distribution, generators).

Completing the Bleak Beach story unlocks progression to Rocky Ridges or Sparkling Skylands. Players also encounter Zorua during this sequence, learning the Camouflage transformation ability.

Eat Specialty and Daily Buffs

Mosslax has the exclusive Eat specialty. After completing the Bleak Beach story, players can offer food to Mosslax by placing it on a plate in front of it. The food's flavor determines the buff granted. Buffs last until the daily reset at 5:00 AM (system clock). Dry is Mosslax's favorite flavor.

Flavor	Buff Effect
Generic	Increased rate of growing closer to Pokemon (friendship/affinity boost)
Bitter	Increased chance of finding rare items
Dry (favorite)	Increased chance to see Pokemon with rare feathers (Lugia, Ho-Oh)
Sour	Increased chance of shop having "Good" items
Spicy	Increased chance of Pokemon appearing in habitats
Sweet	Increased chance of finding Ancient Artefacts

The Spicy buff (habitat spawn rate) and Dry buff (rare feather Pokemon like Lugia and Ho-Oh) are considered particularly valuable. Different berries and cooked meals carry specific flavors, so players can strategically cook or select food to get the desired buff each day.

Gourmet's Altar Habitat

Mosslax's habitat is called the Gourmet's Altar (Habitat Dex #093). It requires only one item to build:

Habitat	Components	Pokemon
Gourmet's Altar (#093)	Offering Dish x1	Snorlax / Mosslax

The Offering Dish is a craftable furniture item. The habitat is available at all times of day and in all weather conditions. After building the Gourmet's Altar, Snorlax/Mosslax can appear in your settlement across any of the five areas.

Tips

Feed Mosslax every day to take advantage of its daily buff. The buff resets at 5:00 AM.
Use Spicy food to boost habitat spawn rates when trying to attract rare Pokemon.
Use Dry food (Mosslax's favorite) to increase your chances of seeing Lugia and Ho-Oh.
Cook meals at a cooking station for stronger effects compared to feeding raw berries.
Build the Gourmet's Altar near your cooking station for convenient daily feeding.
Mosslax's Eat specialty becomes available only after completing the "Brighten Things Up" quest and waking it from its sleep.
