11 Overview

33 Every Pokemon in Pokopia has a rarity tier that determines how quickly it appears after you build its habitat. Rarity is assigned per habitat, not globally; a Pokemon may be Common in one habitat and Rare in another. You can check rarity by hovering over silhouettes in the Habitat Dex. Beyond rarity, many Pokemon require specific time-of-day or weather conditions before they will appear.
