I have now finished both the Pokédex and the Habitat Dex in Pokémon Pokopia

Nothing special for completing the Habitat Dex from what I'm able to see, but yeah it's done.

It's Mario Day!

So once again I'm sharing the amazing collaboration we had back in 10 years ago which included merch and even TCG Promos based on artwork twisting the original Super Mario Bros. artwork into Pokémon

You have to Crush Limestone in a Mixer for it

Not me realising this morning that in my coding to add the Event Dex, I accidentally blocked the script which loaded the layout from appearing on the Available Pokémon page

The content was there for the most part, but no layout or styling which isn't ideal.

I am so sorry.

Also it was a combination of both Pokopia and residual from FireRed/LeafGreen's relaunch, but this past weekend was the strongest on Serebii that we've had outside of a main series game launch, it even beat several main series launches

Thanks so much for your trust as always.

In case there was concern, if you miss the events but know people who got it, you can 3D Print the items from the event so you can set up the habitats to lure the Pokémon

Got my builds section up on Serebii!

Still working through on trying to get some missing kits but got most of them up and the structure is there

Enjoy!

Here’s my Play Activity so far for Pokémon Pokopia since it launched

I promised myself no all nighters for it and followed through

I didn’t promise I would be sane.

It is done.

I have finished the Pokédex in Pokémon Pokopia. All the Pokémon found

What a game. Thanks to those who helped me cheese it by 3D Printing some items I just wasn't finding.

Even with almost all the Pokémon done, I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed with all I still have to collate

There's just so much to this game

If you want to lay down a lot of tiles quickly...mouse control is the way.

I dropped these 300 tiles for the task in about 4 minutes. Would have been much longer normally

There are three habitats I just can't figure out their existence requirements, but yeah...

Sorry it took so long. This game's spawn system is so complex and, frankly, time consuming (It's meant to be, it's not meant to be Serebii'd)

Serebii Update: We now have full habitat location details for almost every Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia

You can find them all @ www.serebii.net/pokemonpokop...

You can move them between areas but some won't appear first in all

Ok so I've been moving a few Pokémon between areas to get the level up quickly and just moved them out of an area.

It does in fact lower the Environment Level which then relocks what got locked.

So be warned if you're doing something like that.

Always love when other sites copy/paste my accidental errors in game coverage time.

Like do your own research you lazy gits

08.03.2026 11:59 👍 296 🔁 13 💬 6 📌 0

Writing a list of all the pieces I need for the remainig habitats

Will then do a load of pages this afternoon

Not me 3D Printing a tree because I can't find where I put the seeds

08.03.2026 06:09 👍 261 🔁 13 💬 3 📌 0

Only have around 30 Pokémon left to assign habitats to on the site

Problem is these ones are all the ones that require very specific bespoke habitats

My first max Environment Level.

Went for it because I wanted the Berry Bed for a habitat I needed and that unlocked the recipe at Level 10.

Casual reminder that there's 3000+ items/furniture/materials in this game and a full collation of all of them will take time...a lot of time.

What do you mean?

This is easily the most important item in the game.

Being able to 3D print almost anything you can take a pic of in exchange for Pokémetal is great.

For some stuff I've been missing, I've jumped to friends islands, taken a picture, and come back to 3D print.

Don't sleep on it

Serebii Update: We now have almost every single habitat in Pokémon Pokopia catalogued with requirements

We're currently working through and adding all available Pokémon to them

Our section can be found @ www.serebii.net/pokemonpokop...

07.03.2026 11:29 👍 306 🔁 23 💬 1 📌 1

Yep, an adjustment to a different way of working

06.03.2026 19:31 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0

I think the hardest part about this coverage for me is that I'm having to put up pages and sections when they're not complete...which is something that is the antithesis of how I typically operate Serebii.

Just makes me feel like I'm not doing my best work.

On a lighter note, this finally arrived today!

I’ve been wanting a proper hands on since I tried it on Pokemon Day and now it has arrived

Another thing for my after Pokopia list haha

Not me totally getting distracted from my work by adding habitats everywhere
