How to Obtain
Event Shop Purchase
During the Sableye's Gem Hunt event, exchange 2 Red Crystal Fragments per Oil Lantern at the Pokemon Center shop counter where Sableye has set up. The shop has unlimited stock during the event window.
Post-Event 3D Printing
After May 14, 2026, photograph an Oil Lantern beforehand to duplicate copies via the 3D Printer using Rare Pokemetal.
Lighting and Brightness
As a lit decoration, the Oil Lantern contributes light to its surroundings, helping bring habitat brightness up to required levels for Bright-tier comfort. The dim glow it provides is softer than a Streetlight or Wall Torch, which makes it suitable for atmospheric campsite or cave-themed builds where harsh light would feel out of place.
Tips
At 2 fragments each, the Oil Lantern is one of the most cost-efficient ways to add Utilities-tagged decoration to comfort-tuned habitats.
Pair multiple Oil Lanterns with a Camping Chair and Sleeping Bag for a complete campsite scene.
Pokemon that like Containers, Lots of fire, or Metal stuff gain comfort when this item is placed in their home.
Photograph one before May 14, 2026 if you want to print copies after the event ends.
