Pokémon Pokopia: How to Rebuild Pokémon Centers

As you progress through Pokémon Pokopia, one of the most important things you can do in each of the game's main areas is rebuild the ruined Pokémon Centers. This is tied to the game's crafting system and is also connected to the Important Requests in each biome's main story.

The process of rebuilding Pokémon Centers is fairly similar in every case, although the requirements vary slightly from one to another. If you have any questions, this entry of our guide explains what you need to do to rebuild these facilities, which materials you'll need, the steps you must follow, and what you can do inside the Centers once they're open again.

Requirements for rebuilding Pokémon Centers

As mentioned above, the steps for rebuilding Pokémon Centers in Pokopia are fairly similar in every area. When you first reach each of the game's main areas, you'll need to interact with the Center's PC terminal and then begin creating habitats nearby to raise the Environment Level.

As you raise the Comfy Level of the Pokémon in each area, its Environment Level will also increase. You specifically need to raise the Environment Level to at least 3, as reaching this level always unlocks the Pokémon Center rebuild kit in the PC Shop for 1,000 Life Coins.

This kit allows you to rebuild the ruined Pokémon Center with the help of other Pokémon and the necessary materials. After purchasing it, a construction box will appear in front of the building. Interact with it to deposit the required amounts of each resource and assign the Pokémon that will carry out the work. Ask the Pokémon to follow you to the Center, then assign them from this menu.

Each Pokémon Center always requires 4 different types of materials in varying amounts and a total of up to 8 Pokémon assigned to the project. Five of these Pokémon can be any species, but two must have the Build and Bulldoze specialties, while the final Pokémon must have another specific specialty that varies depending on the area.

Finally, bear in mind that once you've supplied the materials and assigned the Pokémon, rebuilding each Center always takes some time. More specifically, Pokémon Centers take one day to rebuild, although this doesn't mean you have to wait a full 24 hours from the moment construction begins. The project will simply be finished when the current day ends and the next one begins—that is, from 5:00 a.m. onward.

Of course, if you don't want to wait, you can also use the time-changing trick...

Materials and Pokémon required to rebuild every Pokémon Center

To clear up any doubts, the following table shows all the materials and Pokémon required to rebuild the Pokémon Centers in the game's 5 main areas.

Remember that if you're missing a particular Pokémon in any area, you can check our habitat guide to find out how to encounter it. You can also visit our materials guide to learn how to obtain each of the main resources. That way, you shouldn't have any trouble completing the construction projects.

What can you do inside Pokémon Centers?

You can use several different facilities inside Pokémon Centers in Pokopia:

• Restore PP: you'll find a machine that can fully restore Ditto's PP for free once per day, saving you from having to eat food.
• 3D Printer: you can use a printer to duplicate items that you've previously photographed.
• Item trading: if you have a Pokémon with the Trade specialty, it can set up shop behind the Pokémon Center counter, allowing you to trade with it and purchase a selection of items that changes each day.

These features are available at every Pokémon Center, so now you know what to expect once you've rebuilt them.
