How to Raise Humidity in Pokémon Pokopia

Humidity is a key environmental stat in Pokémon Pokopia that ranges from 0 to 100. It directly affects Pokémon comfort levels — Water and Grass types thrive in high-humidity zones, while Fire types prefer drier areas. Raising humidity in the Withered Wastelands is essential for completing the "Yawn Up A Storm!" quest and rescuing Onix.

How to Check Your Current Humidity

Talk to Slowpoke and ask him to use his Yawn ability. He'll display the current humidity reading for your area. The Withered Wastelands starts at around 79 out of 100.

Tip: Check humidity frequently as you make changes so you know what's working.

Methods to Raise Humidity

1. Water Plants and Trees

Use a Pokémon with the Water specialty (like Squirtle or Marill) to water your vegetation. This is the most consistent way to gradually increase humidity.

Pokémon	Type	Specialties	How to Get
Squirtle	Water	Water	Complete early story quest
Marill	Water / Fairy	Water	Flower Garden habitat
Shellos	Water	Water	Shallow Pool habitat

2. Plant Vegetation

Planting trees and flowers contributes to overall humidity. Larger vegetation has a bigger impact.

• Large Trees — Moderate humidity contribution
• Field of Flowers (8×2 Large Flowerbed habitat) — Passive ongoing humidity boost
• Hydrated Tall Grass (Tall Grass placed near water) — Creates a humid micro-habitat

Plant Flower Seeds purchased from the PC console to quickly fill your area with vegetation.

3. Open Blocked Water Streams

Look for rocks with water droplet markings throughout the Withered Wastelands. Use a Pokémon with Rock Smash (like Hitmonchan) to break them open, releasing blocked water streams.

Each opened stream provides an ongoing humidity boost to the surrounding area.

4. Place a Horsea Fountain

Purchase a Horsea Fountain from the PC Shop for 50 Coins. Place it in a pond beneath a stream — it splashes water and provides a steady humidity increase.

This is one of the most effective single items for boosting humidity.

5. Place Sprinklers and Fountains

Outdoor furniture items like Sprinklers and Fountains also increase humidity in their surrounding area. Place them near your Water and Grass type habitats for the best effect.

6. Complete Pokémon Requests

Fulfilling requests from Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Slowpoke provides small incremental humidity gains. These add up over time and also progress the story.

The "Yawn Up A Storm!" Quest

This is the main story quest in the Withered Wastelands that requires raising humidity. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Befriend Slowpoke and unlock Rock Smash
2. Check humidity via Slowpoke's Yawn
3. Water the ground consistently with Water specialty Pokémon
4. Complete Pokémon requests (Squirtle, Bulbasaur)
5. Build habitats (Field of Flowers, Hydrated Tall Grass)
6. Open blocked water streams with Rock Smash
7. Place the Horsea Fountain (50 Coins from PC Shop)
8. Reach the humidity threshold
9. Trigger rain via Slowpoke's Yawn to rescue Onix

How to Change Weather with Rain Dance

Once humidity is high enough, you can set up a Rain Dance Site to trigger rain:

• Place 2 Castform Weather Charms (set to Rain Form) on a wall
• Place 1 dish of Plated Food nearby
• Assign a Water specialty Pokémon (Squirtle, Shellos, or Marill)

When the Pokémon eats the food and performs the dance, rain begins shortly after. Rain-exclusive Pokémon like Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra only appear during rain.

Managing Humidity for Different Pokémon

High humidity benefits Water and Grass types but hurts Fire types. The solution is habitat separation:

• Humid zone — Lush, watered area with ponds and vegetation for Water/Grass types
• Arid zone — Sparse, dry area for Fire types and Burn specialty Pokémon
• Homes as buffers — A Leaf Den lets Grass types stay comfortable even in imperfect humidity

Pokémon Preference	Examples	Ideal Humidity
High humidity	Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Goomy	80–100
Low humidity	Charmander, Growlithe, Cacnea	20–50
Any humidity	Eevee, Ditto, Pikachu	No preference

Quick Tips

1. Start watering early — Humidity changes are gradual, so begin as soon as you have a Water Pokémon
2. Buy the Horsea Fountain ASAP — It's the best single investment for humidity at 50 Coins
3. Break every water-droplet rock — Each one permanently increases ambient humidity
4. Don't neglect vegetation — Trees and flowers provide passive humidity boosts over time
5. Separate your habitats — Keep Fire types away from your humid zones to avoid comfort conflicts
