Pokemetal Fragment has a higher trade value (100/150) than common ores like Iron and Copper (10/15). This reflects its rarity and late-game importance.
How to Obtain
Overworld Locations
Withered Wasteland: Limited deposits
Rocky Ridges: Mid-game source
Sparkling Skylands (densest source): Pokemetal deposits in floating-island caves
Dream Islands
Pokemetal Fragment spawns on the Clefairy Doll Dream Island and Dragonite Doll Dream Island.
Mining Requirements
Breaking Pokemetal deposits requires powered-up Rock Smash. Eat a Hamburger Steak or another Spicy-flavored cooked food to temporarily boost Rock Smash to break Pokemetal. Without the powered-up version, the deposits cannot be broken.
Crafting Chain
Step | Input | Output | Facility |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Pokemetal Fragment | Pokemetal | Smelting Furnace (Burn specialty) |
Optional | Pokemetal + other materials | Various endgame recipes | Workbench |
Pokemetal is used for: Wireless Power Transmitter, Card Reader (1 Pokemetal), Printer (2 Pokemetal), Shutter (2 Iron Ingot), Neo Dowsing Machine (5 Pokemetal), and the Sparkling Skylands Pokemon Center rebuild (25 Pokemetal).
Rare Pokemetal Variant
When mining Pokemetal deposits, players occasionally find Rare Pokemetal Fragment as a low-rate secondary drop. Rare Pokemetal Fragments smelt into Rare Pokemetal, which is required for fossil printing and large decoration items.
Tips
Mine Sparkling Skylands aggressively for Pokemetal Fragment. The dense cave systems on floating islands are the best farming spot.
Always carry a Hamburger Steak or other Spicy-flavored food when mining Pokemetal. Without powered-up Rock Smash, you cannot break the deposits.
Establish a dedicated Smelting Furnace for Pokemetal so it does not compete with Iron and Copper smelting capacity.
Save Rare Pokemetal for endgame recipes that specifically require it (fossils, large decorations). Use regular Pokemetal for everyday recipes like Wireless Power Transmitter.
Clefairy Doll and Dragonite Doll Dream Island runs are reliable secondary sources of Pokemetal Fragment.
