Pokopia Withered Wastelands Town Story Walkthrough

Withered Wastelands Town Walkthrough

Player Character Appearance Settings

When you start the game, you'll first decide your protagonist's appearance. Your avatar's appearance can be changed even after progressing through the story, so if you're unsure, it's perfectly fine to set it once and proceed.

Talk to the Tangrowth in Front of You

Once you gain control, try talking to the Tangrowth right in front of you.

Collect "Stone" and "Lumber" Near the Tangrowth

In the area where you talk to Tangrowth, "Stone" and "Lumber" are scattered. While you're talking to him, pick them up with the Y button or suck them up to collect them.

Investigate the Glowing Spot in Front of Tangrowth

Investigate the glowing cart in front of Tangrowth. You can obtain the Pokédex from it.

Deciding Your Player Name

Once set, your name cannot be changed even after the story progresses, so please carefully check your input before confirming.

Following Tangrowth

After entering your player name and completing the basic settings, follow Tangrowth. When a yellow speech bubble appears above Tangrowth's head, talk to it to proceed.

Head to Squirtle

Follow Tangrowth, proceed through the passage, and talk to Squirtle.

Pokémon with Problems Display Speech Bubbles

If a speech bubble appears above a Pokémon's head on the field, it's a sign that the Pokémon is either in some kind of trouble or has something it wants to convey. To understand the situation, try talking to them.

Hit Squirtle with "Water Gun"

By talking to Squirtle, you can learn the "Water Gun" move. Since learned moves can be activated with the ZR button, hit Squirtle with "Water Gun" and rescue it.

Revive a 2x2 Grassland with Water Gun

Use Water Gun on the 2x2 withered grassland in front of you to revive the "Green Grassland" habitat. This Water Gun can restore withered land and trees to their original state by using it on them.

Check the Shaking Grass and Talk to Bulbasaur

Once habitat restoration is complete and a certain amount of time has passed, the grass may start to shake. When you investigate that shaking grass, Bulbasaur will appear and join your team. By talking to Bulbasaur, you will be able to accept requests from him.

Hit 10 Withered Grass with Water Gun

To fulfill Bulbasaur's request, let's revive 10 withered grass scattered around with Water Gun. If you become unsure of your current progress or objective, open the menu with the + button and check the request details.

Report to Bulbasaur and Complete the Request

Once you've hit 10 withered grass patches with "Water Gun," talk to Bulbasaur and report. As a reward, you can learn the move "Razor Leaf," which allows you to grow grass on the ground.

Talk to Squirtle and Accept a Request

A speech bubble icon is displayed above Squirtle's head, so talk to it and accept the request.

Create Another New Green Grassland

Utilize 'Leaf' to establish another "Green Grassland" habitat nearby. There's no need to stick to a 2x2 shape; it's fine to place it adjacent to an existing grassland.

Clear the Request by Talking to Squirtle

The request will be cleared by talking to the nearby Squirtle.

Talk to Tangrowth

Once you complete Squirtle's request, speak to Tangrowth. They will then instruct you to collect the Pinap Berries scattered around and distribute them to Squirtle and Bulbasaur.

Headbutt Nearby Trees to Get Leppa Berries

Press the A button towards a nearby tree to perform Headbutt and obtain a Leppa Berry. If you can't find any trees nearby, use Water Gun to regenerate a tree, then perform Headbutt.

Consume Food to Restore PP

Consuming food items dropped on the field, such as Leppa Berries and Carrots, will restore the PP displayed in the bottom right of the screen. If PP runs out, you won't be able to use moves, so it's important to regularly replenish your food supply during your adventure.

Give Leppa Berries to Squirtle and Bulbasaur

Once you obtain Leppa Berries from the tree, give them to the Squirtle and Bulbasaur walking nearby.

After Reporting to Tangrowth, Place a Chair and Sit

When you talk to Tangrowth, you will obtain a "Log Chair." Open your inventory with the X button, select the "Log Chair" you obtained, then place it with the A button and sit down.

Talk to Bulbasaur to Unlock the Crafting Table

As soon as your conversation with Tangrowth ends, follow Bulbasaur and talk to it. During this interaction, you will obtain "Simple Wooden Recipes".

Craft a Bonfire and Place it Next to Tangrowth

Craft the bonfire requested by Bulbasaur and place it next to Tangrowth. To craft the bonfire, you will need one "Sturdy Branch" and one "Stone", both of which can be found lying on the ground nearby.

Create a Green Grassland and Befriend Charmander

Create a 2x2 Green Grassland nearby and befriend Charmander. After creating the Grassland, please wait for a while. Then, you can find Charmander by examining the shaking grass.

Lead Charmander to the Bonfire

After befriending Charmander, talk to him and lead him to the bonfire's location to trigger a specific event. At this point, by choosing the "Let's go together" option, Charmander will begin to follow the player.

Talk to Tangrowth to Activate the PC

After completing the bonfire event, go around the map and talk to Tangrowth, who is in front of the broken Pokémon Center. Operate the PC, and once you complete the displayed tutorial, the PC will become usable.

Complete the Three Challenges Displayed on the PC

After finishing your conversation with Tangrowth, clear the three challenges that can be checked from the PC.

PC Functions: Shop and Item Reception

The PC installed in front of the Pokémon Center allows you to check "Challenges," shop at the "Shop," and "Receive Items." By using the Shop function, you can spend coins to purchase furniture, recipes, seeds, and more. These items will likely be effectively utilized later in features such as the housing function, which will be unlocked.

Create the "Shady Grassland" and Befriend Timburr

By placing 4 Grass near the rocks, the habitat "Shady Grassland" will be completed. After a short while, you can encounter Timburr and complete "Search for Pokémon! ①".

Investigate Sparkles to Obtain Habitat Hints

By interacting with the Sparkles present in the field, clues about Pokémon habitats will be registered in your Pokédex. To befriend Pokémon, it is recommended to actively investigate Sparkles.

Collecting Sturdy Branches and Watering Withered Trees

Find and pick up "Sturdy Branches" near the withered trees scattered across the field, and water those trees. To complete this challenge, you need to collect 5 withered trees and 10 "Sturdy Branches."

Befriend Scyther and Complete the Request

It's recommended to deepen your friendship with Scyther and complete the request, as you'll be able to learn "Cut," a move you'll use frequently as you progress through the story. If you hand over 2 "Sturdy Branches" to Scyther, you will be able to use Cut.

• How to Learn and Use Cut

• Scyther's Habitat and Specialties

Clear Grass and Wood Debris with Cut

Grass and wood debris found on the field can be destroyed using Cut. If used on grass, you have a certain chance to obtain "Leaf." If you destroy wood debris, you can obtain "Small Log" and also clear a path.

After Completing the Challenge Report, Talk to Bulbasaur

Once you've finished reporting the challenge on the computer, talk to Bulbasaur to accept a new request.

Make a "Hay Bed" at the Crafting Table

Through conversation with Bulbasaur, you will unlock the recipe for the "Hay Bed." Afterwards, begin crafting it at the Crafting Table. The necessary "Leaves" can be obtained probabilistically by breaking grass using Cut.

Achieve the Objective by Placing a Bed Near Bulbasaur

By creating a Hay Bed and placing it near Bulbasaur, you can clear the request. Other Pokémon will also experience improved "Comfort" and an increased Environment Level by having their favorite items placed around them. For this reason, we recommend actively engaging in this.

After Checking the PC, Talk to Tangrowth

Once you complete Bulbasaur's request, check the PC, then talk to Tangrowth. To build the "Leafy Room," you need to purchase the "Leafy Room Kit" at the shop.

Purchase the "Leaf Room Kit" at the Shop and Start Construction

Once you obtain the "Leaf Room Kit" at the shop, place it in your preferred location. To proceed with construction, you need to gather the necessary materials and bring a Pokémon that meets the conditions to the kit's location.

Place 3 pieces of furniture and report to Timburr

Once you have placed 3 pieces of furniture inside the Leafy Room, go report to Timburr. Furniture can be purchased at the shop, allowing you to place it in your room at home.

Take Charmander to Tangrowth

By talking to Charmander and guiding them to Tangrowth's location, you can obtain the Ditto flag during this event.

Place Ditto's Flag Outside the Leaf Room

Place Ditto's Flag outside the Leaf Room. By placing this flag, that location will function as your home, allowing you to freely arrange furniture and live with your favorite Pokémon. Furthermore, by using "Home Navigator" found in the + Menu, you can return home anytime.

Construct the "Gym Break Room" Habitat

To recruit a Hitmonchan that knows "Rock Smash," let's set up the "Gym Break Room" Habitat.

The Sandbag is immediately west of the broken Pokémon Center

The Sandbag, essential for creating the "Gym Break Room" Rest Area, is located immediately west of the broken Pokémon Center. Once you obtain the Sandbag, place it next to the bench, which is beside the sparkle northwest of the Pokémon Center.

Befriend Hitmonchan and Complete the Request

Once you've become friends with Hitmonchan, talk to them again and accept the request. This request can be completed by handing over 2 Stones.

Learning "Rock Smash"

Upon completing Hitmonchan's request, you will learn "Rock Smash". By using this move, you will be able to destroy blocks present on the map, allowing you to secure paths or advance into unexplored areas.

Talk to Squirtle and Accept a Request

Speak to Squirtle, who is located to the west of the damaged Pokémon Center, and accept the request.

Destroy the Wall with Rock Smash and Proceed to the Cave

Destroy the wall in front of you with Rock Smash and proceed to the cave on your right.

Dig Your Way Towards the Source of the Voice and Talk to Onix

As you proceed in the direction of the mysterious voice heard deep within the cave, numerous blocks destructible with 'Rock Smash' obstruct your path. Dig through these blocks to advance, and talk to Onix.

Talk to Tangrowth and Break the Southern Wall

When you talk to Tangrowth to ask how to rescue Onix, you will first be asked to break the southern wall. Use 'Rock Smash' to destroy the southern wall and open a path beyond it.

Investigate the Entrance to the Left Tower

After completing the series of events on the sandy beach, investigate the entrance to the tower visible on your left. This investigation will trigger the important request "Take on the Entrance Challenge," but it does not affect the main story progression of Withered Wastelands town, so it's fine to postpone it. You will revisit this location in the final stages of the story, so it's reassuring to know its location now.

• Entrance Challenge Strategy

• List of Important Requests

Deepen Your Friendship with Magikarp and Complete the Quest

It's recommended to talk to the Magikarp floating on the water's surface, become friends with it, and complete its quest. The quest can be completed by placing a fishing rod next to a log chair, and as a clear reward, "Splash (Jump)" will become available.

Talk to Tangrowth in front of the Pokémon Center

After finishing the event at the "Entry Challenge Tower", speak to the Tangrowth in front of the Pokémon Center. Immediately after the event ends, Tangrowth will be moving slowly, so you will need to wait until it arrives at the Pokémon Center.

Become Friends with Slowpoke and Accept the Request

Since you need to take Slowpoke to Tangrowth, first become friends with Slowpoke and accept the related request. Slowpoke appears in an area called "Seashore Grassland."

Prepare the Path to the Pokémon Center and Guide Slowpoke

Once you become friends with Slowpoke, prepare the path leading to the Pokémon Center to fulfill his request. In areas with elevation differences, install "Wooden Stairs", and on flat ground, by wetting it with "Water Gun", Slowpoke can proceed without hindrance.

Tips for Letting Slowpoke Lead and Efficiently Preparing the Path

When fulfilling Slowpoke's request, if the player goes ahead and prepares the path while Slowpoke is walking, the work can be advanced efficiently. Slowpoke's walking speed is slow, and even if it gets stuck, it will stop in place, allowing you to retry from the same position as many times as needed. Therefore, by keeping a close eye on Slowpoke, you can proceed without issue with minimal path preparation.

Talk to Tangrowth

After delivering Slowpoke to the Pokémon Center and a series of events progresses, a new objective will begin: "Let's make it rain with Yawn!" To succeed in this Yawn-induced rainfall, it is essential to prepare the surroundings into a sufficiently moist environment.

Destroy the Northwest Wall of the Broken Pokémon Center to Form a Pond

Destroy the wall located northwest of the Broken Pokémon Center using Rock Smash to generate a water flow. Once water flows and a pond is formed, you can also destroy the surrounding rocks to widen the waterway, which will expand the pond's size and increase the Moisture Level.

Destroy the Northeast Wall of the Broken Pokémon Center and Create a Pond

Also, create a pond beyond the wall located northeast of the broken Pokémon Center, which you remove with "Rock Smash". The water source is located a little way up that wall, and by installing a "Horsea Fountain" after the pond is completed, you can expect even higher scores.

Learn "Cultivate" by Completing Drilbur's Request

Drilbur's request, which appears when you destroy the wall and proceed, can also be completed by creating a pond. As a reward, the action "Cultivate," which allows you to cultivate the ground and plant seeds, will be unlocked.

Break the Wall to the Right of the Crafting Table to Create a Pond

A water source is similarly hidden to the right of the Crafting Table. Therefore, use "Rock Smash" to destroy the wall and create a pond. You can only obtain a total of 2 Horsea Fountains, combining those placed on the map and those available for purchase in the shop. Therefore, you cannot install a Horsea Fountain in ponds created from the third one onwards.

There's Also a Water Source in Front of the Admission Challenge Tower

A water source is also buried behind the wall, immediately in front of the Admission Challenge Tower. Don't forget to destroy this one too and form a pond.

Talk to Slowpoke

After the two ponds are complete, talk to Slowpoke. While no special conversation event will occur, this interaction with Slowpoke is a prerequisite for accepting subsequent requests.

Talk to Squirtle and Accept the Request

To increase the "Moisture" value, talk to Squirtle and accept the request.

Place 4 Grass around the Waterfront

By placing 4 Grass around the waterfront, you will complete the "Lush Grassland" habitat, which is required to fulfill Squirtle's request.

Talk to Squirtle to Complete the Request

By talking to Squirtle again, the request from him will be completed.

Take Squirtle to the Lush Grassland

After completing Squirtle's request, talk to it again, and it will express a desire to move to the Lush Grassland. Select "Let's go together" and guide it to the destination. When you select "Move here?" at the location, Squirtle's residence relocation will be complete.

Explore the Map and Raise Hydration to 75 Points

Once you have completed creating the pond and Squirtle's request, simply explore the map and raise the Hydration level. For all withered trees found in the field, continue to use "Water Gun" until the Hydration level reaches 75 points.

Have Slowpoke Use "Yawn" to Check the Score

While raising the Hydration level, you can check the current score by having Slowpoke use "Yawn". As it serves as a guide for your progress, it's a good idea to check it regularly if you want to keep track of your situation. Furthermore, when the Hydration level reaches 75 points, a speech bubble will appear above Squirtle's head.

Reach 75 Moisture Points! Talk to Squirtle

Once your Moisture reaches 75 points, speak to Squirtle and accept his request. Upon accepting the request, the habitat "Rain Dance Spot" will be unlocked, and you will be asked to help prepare for the Rain Dance.

Obtain Castform Dolls in the First Cave

There are two Castform Dolls, necessary for creating a Rain Dance Spot, located inside the cave you visit right after starting the game. After heading south and entering the cave, try examining the cart where the Pokédex was stored.

Video: Accessing the First Cave

Set Up the Rain Prayer Spot and Guide Squirtle

Let's guide Squirtle to its habitat, the "Rain Prayer Spot." After Squirtle finishes eating the berries, you will be instructed to confirm that Slowpoke yawns.

After the Slowpoke Yawn Event, Head to the Seaside

When you go to witness Slowpoke's yawn, it will perform a magnificent, perfect 100-point yawn, causing it to rain. Once this event is complete, proceed to the southern seaside where a loud cry was heard.

Open the Path to Kyogre and Talk to It

After completing the event at the beach, build a bridge to Kyogre's location and talk to it. To build this bridge, you first need to obtain the "Pier Plank Recipe" which has fallen behind the crafting table, and then craft "Pier Planks." As you progress through the conversation with Kyogre, it will join your team, and your Trainer Rank will simultaneously be promoted to Super.

After the Kyogre Event, Head to Onix's Location

Once the series of events with Kyogre is complete, move to Onix's location. By destroying the wall in front of Onix with 'Rock Smash', the 'Stomping Tantrum' move will be unlocked and become usable.

• Onix's Main Appearance Locations and Characteristics

• 'Stomping Tantrum''s Capabilities and a List of Pokémon That Can Utilize This Move

Talk to Tangrowth to Complete the Important Request

After helping Onix, talk to Tangrowth to complete the Important Request "Make it Rain with Yawn!". Once you clear this request, you will be able to proceed from Withered Wastelands Town to the next areas: "Rocky Ridges Town" or "Bleak Beach Town".
