Revision - smelting and furnaces - Pokémon Pokopia Wiki

Overview

Smelting is the process of converting raw ores into refined ingots and other processed materials in Pokemon Pokopia. There are two distinct types of furnaces in the game: the Smelting Furnace for material processing and the Power Furnace (Generator) for producing electricity. A separate machine, the Concrete Mixer, handles Limestone processing in Sparkling Skylands.

Smelting Furnace

The Smelting Furnace is a crafting station that uses a Pokemon with the Burn specialty to heat raw ores into refined materials. To smelt:

Place raw ore near the Smelting Furnace.
Lead a Pokemon with the Burn specialty (such as Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Torchic, or Combusken) to the furnace.
The Burn Pokemon will heat the ore, converting it into refined material.

The Smelting Furnace needs power to operate. Connect it to a power grid using a Pokemon with the Generate specialty, or place it near a windmill or waterwheel.

All Smelting Recipes

Raw Material	Product	Ratio	Source Location
Copper Ore	Copper Ingot	1:1	Rocky Ridges
Iron Ore	Iron Ingot	1:1	Rocky Ridges
Gold Ore	Gold Ingot	1:1	Rocky Ridges, Sparkling Skylands
Pokemetal Fragment	Pokemetal	1:1	Sparkling Skylands
Rare Pokemetal Fragment	Rare Pokemetal	1:1	Rare drop from Pokemetal blocks
Sand / Sandstone	Glass	1:1	Bleak Beach
Volcanic Ash	Glass	1:1	Rocky Ridges

Concrete Mixer

The Concrete Mixer is a separate processing station unlocked in Sparkling Skylands. It converts Limestone into Concrete with the help of a Pokemon with the Crush specialty. Concrete is a late-game building material used for large-scale construction. Limestone can also be crafted into Marble (4 Limestone → 1 Marble) at a regular Workbench without any specialty requirement.

Finding Ores

Ore	Primary Location	Notes
Copper Ore	Rocky Ridges mine entrance	Most basic ore; visible as reddish nuggets in rock
Iron Ore	Rocky Ridges deep mines	Silver nuggets in dark rock; needs powered-up Rock Smash
Gold Ore	Rocky Ridges, Sparkling Skylands	Rarest standard ore; golden streaks in rock
Pokemetal Fragment	Sparkling Skylands	Near waterfalls and behind Tinkmaster's tower
Limestone	Rocky Ridges, Rock Peak Dream Islands	Pale stone; processed at Concrete Mixer or Workbench
Volcanic Ash	Rocky Ridges volcanic areas	Fine powder near vents; smelts into Glass

Power Furnace (Generator)

The Power Furnace (also called the Furnace Generator) is a completely separate item from the Smelting Furnace. It burns fuel (wood or coal) to generate electricity, producing approximately 15 to 25 power units. Power is distributed through Utility Poles or Wireless Power Transmitters to operate lamps, machines, and other electrical appliances.

Tinkgears

Iron Ingots have an additional use beyond standard crafting: Tinkmaster can convert 1 Iron Ingot into 3 Tinkgears, a special late-game material required for advanced structures like the Lift platform and other major building projects in Sparkling Skylands.

Tips

Always eat a Hamburger Steak before mining runs to ensure Rock Smash can break ore blocks including granite and steel.
Set up a dedicated smelting area near your mining spot with a Smelting Furnace, Storage Box, and a Burn-specialty Pokemon.
Prioritize Iron Ore early, as Iron Ingots are needed for Tinkgears and many late-game recipes.
The Power Furnace is useful in areas without natural power sources like windmills or waterwheels.
Multiple Glass sources exist: Sand from Bleak Beach, Sandstone, and Volcanic Ash from Rocky Ridges all smelt into Glass.
