Paint is a crafting material in Pokemon Pokopia used for Item Customization and Painting. There are eight paint colors available, each produced by giving a specific berry to a Pokemon with the Crush specialty. Paint allows you to change the color of furniture, building elements, and decorative items.
All paint is created by giving berries to a Pokemon with the Crush specialty. The Crush specialty grinds the berry into pigment, producing paint of a color corresponding to the berry type. Smearguru is the NPC associated with the painting system and can provide painting tools and guidance.
Paint Color | Berry Required | Drop Chance |
|---|---|---|
Red Paint | Leppa Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
Blue Paint | Chesto Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
Green Paint | Lum Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
Yellow Paint | Aspear Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
Pink Paint | Pecha Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
Cyan Paint | Rawst Berry | Standard (guaranteed) |
White Paint | Leppa Berry | Low chance (rare secondary drop) |
Black Paint | Aspear Berry | Low chance (rare secondary drop) |
The six standard paint colors (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink, Cyan) are guaranteed when you give the corresponding berry to a Crush-specialty Pokemon. White and Black Paint are rare secondary drops: White has a low chance of appearing when processing a Leppa Berry, and Black has a low chance from an Aspear Berry.
Berries are grown through the farming and gardening system. Plant berry seeds in tilled soil, water them, and wait for them to grow. Berry trees can also be found growing naturally in certain regions. Pokemon with the Grow specialty (such as Bulbasaur, Oddish, and Bellsprout) accelerate berry growth when placed near farmland.
Several Pokemon possess the Crush specialty required for paint production. Check the Habitat Dex for the full list of Crush-specialty Pokemon. Place berries near a Crush-specialty Pokemon's assigned area and it will process them into paint automatically.
Once you have paint, use it at a painting station or through Smearguru's painting tools to change the color of placed items. The painting system allows you to customize your town's aesthetic by recoloring furniture, walls, fences, and other buildable items.
To obtain White and Black Paint more efficiently, process large batches of Leppa Berries (for White) and Aspear Berries (for Black). Since the drop rate is low, volume is key. Set up a dedicated berry farm near a Crush-specialty Pokemon to create a paint production line. The six standard colors are easy to produce; White and Black are the only ones that require patience.
