33 The Yawn specialty is one of the unique Pokemon Specialty types in Pokemon Pokopia, exclusive to Slowpoke. Talking to a befriended Slowpoke reveals the current humidity level of the area where you are standing. This is the only in-game way to query exact humidity values without entering the habitat menu.

1111 Pokemon with the Yawn Specialty

1313 Slowpoke is the only Pokemon in Pokopia that carries the Yawn specialty. Slowbro and Slowking, the larger members of the Slowpoke family, are independent species in Pokopia that carry the Trade specialty rather than Yawn. Befriending Slowbro or Slowking does not give you a humidity reader; only Slowpoke can perform the Yawn check.

1919 Why Humidity Matters
2020  
2121 Humidity is one of the key environmental properties of habitats. Some Pokemon prefer Humid habitats, while others prefer Dry habitats. Knowing the exact humidity reading helps you adjust water features, ground type, and proximity to water sources to hit the tier each Pokemon prefers. The reading also helps when chasing rare visitors that only spawn at specific humidity bands.
