11Overview22PP (Power 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.44Move PP Costs66All 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:88Cost 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)1111Continuous-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.1212Ditto's innate moves (Stockpile, Spit Out, Inhale, Headbutt) and Jump (learned from Magikarp) appear to have very low or no PP cost.1414Fatigue State1616When 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:1818Movement 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.2020The best response to fatigue is to eat food immediately. Leppa Berries can be obtained for free by headbutting trees (which costs zero PP).2222PP Restoration Methods2424There are six ways to restore PP:26261. Eating Food (Primary Method)2828The 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.3030Raw 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.32322. Healing Machine (Free, Once Per Day)3434The 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.36363. Resting (Chairs and Beds)3838Sitting 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.40404. Sleeping Overnight4242Letting 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).44445. PP up (Permanent Max Increase)4646PP 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:4848PP UpRegionCostPP Up 1Withered Wasteland300 Life CoinsPP Up 2Rocky Ridges1,000 Life CoinsPP Up 3Bleak Beach1,500 Life CoinsPP Up 4Sparkling Skylands2,000 Life Coins5050Total 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.5151Food and Move Power-Ups5353Cooked meals fully restore PP and temporarily boost a specific move's power. Each recipe category corresponds to a different move:5555RecipeCooking ToolMove BoostedBoost EffectSaladChopping BoardLeafageGrows 4 grass patches instead of 1SoupCooking PotWater GunBlasts water farther and widerBreadBread OvenCutCuts through metal and harder materialsHamburger SteakFrying Pan / StoveRock SmashBreaks previously unbreakable rocks; yields gold and iron ore5757Food 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.5858Tips6060Always 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.
