Pokédex Completion

How to track down every one of the 300 Pokémon in Pokopia — the unusual ones, the legendaries, and the post-game extras.

How registration works

Pokopia's Pokédex works a little differently from the main-series games. There's no battling and no capture — instead, a Pokémon is registered the first time it visits a habitat you've built and spends a little time there. If a Pokémon leaves before you can scan it, that's fine: they'll come back as long as the habitat still suits them.

The dex tracks 300 Pokémon across every biome, habitat type, time of day, weather condition, and two post-game regions. Hitting 100% requires a bit of planning, so it helps to treat completion as its own late-game activity.

The completion checklist

Work through these in roughly this order. You can do them in parallel, but later habitats benefit hugely from earlier upgrades.

  • Raise each biome to the highest Environment Level you can — rarer Pokémon only appear at higher levels.
  • Build at least one of every habitat type (Forest, Aquatic, Mountain, Urban, Cave, Sky, Garden) in every biome that supports them.
  • Cycle through all four times of day — Morning, Day, Evening, and Night — in each biome.
  • Visit in all four weather conditions — Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, and Snowy (where applicable).
  • Place favorite food and decor near habitats to attract picky species.
  • Unlock Palette Town for the final set of Pokédex entries. Cloud Island is a multiplayer visit feature, not a spawn region — no Pokémon are caught there.

Habitat coverage

There are seven habitat types, and many Pokémon only spawn in a specific one. You don't need every habitat in every biome, but you do need broad coverage. A good rule of thumb: if you're missing dex entries from a particular type, check your Habitatslist and see which type you haven't built.

Forest and Aquatic are the easiest to build early. Sky, Cave, and Garden tend to come later because they require materials you won't unlock until Rocky Ridges or beyond.

Each habitat has a Comfort Level. Upgrade the structure, add matching decor, and keep it clean to raise Comfort — rarer species prefer higher-Comfort habitats.

Time of day matters

Pokopia tracks four time slots: Morning, Day, Evening, and Night. The in-game clock runs faster than real time, so you don't need to wait long, but some Pokémon only appear in one or two slots:

  • Morning — Dew-lovers and early risers like Bellsprout, Ledyba, and Hoothoot heading to bed.
  • Day— The majority of common Pokémon, including most starters' relatives.
  • Evening — Golden-hour species such as Eevee, Cubone, and Sudowoodo.
  • Night— Ghost types, Umbreon, Gastly's line, and many Psychic Pokémon.

Weather and conditions

Weather rolls on its own cycle in each biome. You can nudge the weather by raising the biome's unique metric — for example, high Humidity in Withered Wasteland makes Rain more common — but some rare species only spawn during very specific conditions:

  • Rain— Castform's Rain form, Lotad, and Water-type migrants.
  • Snowy — Snorunt, Swinub, Cubchoo, and Alolan variants in Sparkling Skylands.
  • Sunny — Heliolisk, Sunkern, and the full Castform Sun form.
  • Cloudy — The overcast default; several Flying types prefer it to clear skies.

Legendary and mythical Pokémon

Legendaries are tied to specific biomes and usually gated behind a restoration milestone. See the Biomes page for the full list — each biome entry calls out the legendaries you can expect:

  • Kyogre & Mew — Withered Wasteland, after Humidity is fully restored.
  • Raikou — Bleak Beach, during thunderstorms at max Bloom Points.
  • Volcanion & Entei — Rocky Ridges, at maximum Mood and after the volcano event.
  • Mewtwo — Sparkling Skylands, after the final Construction Progress milestone.

Post-game entries

Palette Town opens up once the main story is complete — the peaceful hub that ties the biomes together, with its own set of post-game spawns. Use the filters on the Pokédexpage to find what's missing. Cloud Island is a multiplayer visit feature, not a region you catch Pokémon in — Pokédex completion doesn't require anything from there.

Stuck on the last few entries? Check the Pokédex filter by Rarity— the "Very Rare" filter narrows your search to the species with the most specific spawn conditions.

Completion rewards

Professor Tangrowth hands out titles, furniture, and a special Shiny Charm-equivalent as you hit 100, 200, and finally all 300 entries. The last reward unlocks a unique piece of decor for your home — a small trophy that shows up whenever visitors stop by.

Good luck, and happy restoring. See the Environment Levels guide next for tips on raising your biome metrics efficiently.
