Of all the materials found in Pokémon Pokopia, some of the game's most notable items are the so-called Lost Relics. These can be either large or small and can be identified by showing them to Professor Tangrowth. These relics are actually special items once used by humans, most of which can now be used as decorations. A few can also help create certain Pokémon habitats.
Since you'll probably want to know how to find relics easily or discover every type available, this entry of our guide covers everything you need to know.
How to get relics
In Pokémon Pokopia, the main way to find large and small relics is by breaking glowing terrain blocks that appear randomly throughout the game's different areas.
You may occasionally find certain large relics somewhere out in the world as well. If you come across one, you can simply pick it up and add it to your inventory. However, not every relic can be found this way, and small relics never appear like this.
As an optional method, provided you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can also visit other players' multiplayer islands and use the camera to take pictures of the relics in their worlds. You can then use 3D Printers to create copies of those relics. This can be a useful way to guarantee that you obtain any you're still missing.
In any case, as mentioned above, the basic method for finding relics is to destroy glowing blocks and then take the relics to Tangrowth so he can appraise them. Remember that if you have a Dowsing Machine and a Pokémon with the Search specialty, you can also look for buried hidden treasures that may contain relics.
Finally, if you want to increase the chance of relics appearing inside glowing blocks, you can give Mosslax offerings of sweet food each day to boost the relic drop rate. However, this can only be done after completing the important request "Brighten Things Up".
