Pokémon Pokopia Coverage Day 16
Our Pokémon Pokopia coverage is coming to its conclusion with full databases having been collated.
Our section for the game is near complete with a full Available Pokémon & Habitat section, as well as a massive Item Database which is continually having locations added to, while having full recipe details. Our current task is to find more item categories and more intricate mechanics
Edit @ 10:06: Created a page on Magnet Rise detailing the mechanics as well as the items that can only be picked up using it.
Edit @ 14;12: Created a page on Hide and Seek including rewards
Edit @ 16:32: As per popular request, we have started a Favorites page. This will list not only all Pokémon that have a specific favorite, to help with habitat building, but it will also display the items that match that category. At present we only have a few dozen categorisations but we'll be adding to this frequently. It is very much a work in progress. If you have any data for any, feel free to let us know via email or through the Serebii Discord
