Sparkling Skylands is the fourth and final story area in Pokemon Pokopia. the area encompasses "what used to be Celadon and Saffron Cities," dramatically transformed when "the catastrophe caused the ground to shoot up into the sky." This elevated zone features floating islands suspended high above the world, streams of cascading waterfalls between levels, and ruined urban structures referencing both classic cities.
Sparkling Skylands is where the Glide and Waterfall moves are unlocked, allowing aerial traversal and vertical water travel. The area's signature quest involves rebuilding the former Celadon Department Store floor by floor under the guidance of Tinkaton (Tinkmaster). It contains the legendary Pokemon Mewtwo, three collectible outfits, and the Stylish Hedge as its exclusive hedge type. Region-exclusive flora includes Pink Tall Grass and Skyland Flowers.
Sparkling Skylands opens after the player completes the main story quests in all three previous story areas (Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, and Rocky Ridges) and reaches Ultra Trainer Rank. Gates can be accessed from three locations:
Far right of Bleak Beach
Far right of Rocky Ridges
Behind the Withered Wasteland (high on a hill behind the Pokemon Center)
