11 Overview

3-PP (Pokemon Points) is the stamina gauge in Pokemon Pokopia. It governs Ditto's ability to use moves. The PP gauge appears as a curved blue bar at the bottom-right of the screen. Using moves depletes PP, and when it runs out, Ditto enters a fatigue state that significantly slows movement and ability use. PP does not passively regenerate while exploring. It can be restored by eating food, using the Pokemon Center healing machine (once per day), or resting on furniture such as beds and chairs, which gradually restores PP over time. Sleeping overnight also recovers PP.

55 Move PP Costs
66  
77 All moves consume PP when used. Moves only cost PP if they actually connect with a target; swinging Cut or Rock Smash at empty air costs nothing. The game does not display exact numeric costs, but moves fall into two categories:
88  
99  
1010 Cost TypeBehaviorExamplesPer-use movesConsume a fixed amount of PP each time they hit a targetWater Gun, Leafage, Rock Smash, Cut, Rototiller, StrengthContinuous-drain movesDrain PP gradually while the transformation is active; end automatically when PP hits zeroSurf (Lapras), Rollout (Graveler), Glide (Dragonite)
1111 Continuous-drain moves like Surf and Rollout are the heaviest PP consumers. While transformed into Lapras or Graveler, the PP bar visibly decreases over time. Once PP runs out, the transformation ends and Ditto reverts to its normal form.
1212  
1313 Ditto's innate moves (Stockpile, Spit Out, Inhale, Headbutt) and Jump (learned from Magikarp) appear to have very low or no PP cost.
1414  
1515 Fatigue State
1616  
1717 When the PP gauge is fully depleted, Ditto enters a fatigue state. This does not lock you out of the game, but it has serious drawbacks:
1818  
1919 Movement speed drops significantly. Walking and running become noticeably slower.Move usage triggers fatigue animations. Attempting to use moves in the depleted state causes a slowdown animation each time.Transformation moves end entirely. Surf, Rollout, and Glide cannot be used at all with zero PP.Ditto does not faint or become fully immobilized. You can still walk, interact with Pokemon, pick up items, and access menus.

2121 The best response to fatigue is to eat food immediately. Leppa Berries can be obtained for free by headbutting trees (which costs zero PP).

2323 PP Restoration Methods
2424  
2525 There are six ways to restore PP:
2626  
2727 1. Eating Food (Primary Method)
2828  
2929 The most common way to recover PP. Hold down A while holding food to continuously restore PP until the bar fills or the food runs out.
3030  
3131 Raw berries and vegetables: Restore a partial amount of PP instantly. Leppa Berries are the most common PP food; get them by headbutting trees.Cooked meals: Fully restore PP and temporarily power up a specific move. Cook at a cooking station after unlocking the feature in Rocky Ridges.
3232  
3333 2. Healing Machine (Free, Once Per Day)
3434  
3535 The healing machine inside any rebuilt Pokemon Center completely restores your PP gauge for free. It can only be used once per in-game day (resets at 5:00 AM). There are up to five Pokemon Centers across the map, one per region, but the daily limit is shared across all of them.
3636  
3737 3. Resting (Chairs and Beds)
3838  
3939 Sitting on a chair or lying in a bed gradually recovers PP over time. This method is very slow compared to eating and is generally not worth the wait unless you have no food available.
4040  
4141 4. Sleeping Overnight
4242  
4343 Letting time pass overnight (either by waiting or using the clock trick) restores approximately 50% of your PP gauge at the daily reset (5:00 AM).
4444  
4545 5. PP Up (Permanent Max Increase)
4646  
4747 PP Up items permanently increase the maximum size of your PP gauge. They are purchased from the PC Shop using Life Coins. There are four PP Ups total, one per story region:
4848  
4949 PP UpRegionCostPP Up 1Withered Wasteland300 Life CoinsPP Up 2Rocky Ridges1,000 Life CoinsPP Up 3Bleak Beach1,500 Life CoinsPP Up 4Sparkling Skylands2,000 Life Coins
5050 Total cost for all four: 4,800 Life Coins. The first PP Up requires Environment Level 3 to appear in the shop. Each PP Up can only be purchased once; you cannot buy multiples of the same tier. Buying all four makes the PP bar last significantly longer before depletion.

5252 Food and Move Power-Ups
5353  
5454 Cooked meals not only fully restore PP but also temporarily boost a specific move's power. Each recipe category corresponds to a different move:

5757 Food buffs are temporary and last for a limited duration after eating. Cooking unlocks in Rocky Ridges after freeing Chef Dente (a Greedent NPC trapped in the mountains). Higher-tier recipes within each category have different flavor profiles (sweet, spicy, sour, bitter, dry) that matter for Pokemon gifting and Mosslax buffs but do not change the PP restoration or move boost effects.

5959 Tips
6060  
6161 Always carry Leppa Berries. Headbutt trees regularly to stock up; it costs zero PP.Buy PP Up as soon as each one becomes available. The expanded gauge is a permanent quality-of-life improvement.Use the healing machine at the start of each play session. It is free and fully restores your PP once per day.Cook meals before tackling resource-heavy areas. The full PP restore plus move boost makes gathering much faster.Bring extra food on Dream Island trips. You cannot access home storage while on a Dream Island, and you will need PP for Rock Smash on ore deposits.Avoid using Surf and Rollout for unnecessary travel. Their continuous PP drain adds up quickly.If you run out of PP and food, headbutt the nearest tree for free Leppa Berries to get moving again.
