Pokemon Pokopia is a game that mainly focuses on crafting, building, restructuring, and terraforming. No, we're not just talking about emotional bonds, but actual structures like buildings, communities, towns, and even utopias.
Given this simple but highly addictive gameplay loop of developing and elevating environmental levels, natural resources will be crucial for success, and one resource that stands out the most is lumber.
Like in the real world we live in, wood and lumber are some of the most important materials needed to make furniture or even entire homes. The same can be said about Pokemon Pokopia, and with how alive and expansive the world is in this adorable title, having an abundance of lumber is essential.
How To Farm Lumber In Pokopia
At first, it can feel or sound complicated, but the process is actually quite simple. As long as you have the right Pokemon to assist you, the appropriate tools around you, and the knack for collaborating with your partner Pocket Monsters, you'll be a lumber tycoon in no time!
Planning to build the perfect utopia for your Pokemon but don't want to run out of one of the most essential materials in doing so? Keep reading as we show you how to effortlessly farm countless lumber in each of your playtime.
Best Pokemon To Farm Lumber In Pokopia
The Pokemon that will do most of the job here are Pokemon with the Chop, Litter, and Gather ability, and the most efficient line to do this is the Axew line since they all share the abilities except Gather (we'll get to that later). It is also a good thing that Axew, Fraxure, and Haxorus all share one habitat type, which is the Cozy log handicrafts. So the first thing to do is build this, and once they spawn, relocate them to a grass patch nearby. To build this habitat, you need a log chair, a log table, and a log bed, all next to each other.
For the Gather ability, Pokemon like Mincinno possess this and can use this skill to pick up items from the ground and put them in a Community Chest (that you will need to put there yourself). Community Chests can be used to process items deposited in them by Pokemon without having to tell them to do so. This makes gathering lumber more efficient and a bit more hands-free, as long as all needed Pokemon are in a single area so that they can work together. Just be sure to learn how to manage your habitats properly and efficiently.
How To
The process is actually very simple. The mighty Haxorus uses its Litter ability to drop small logs in the surroundings, and Pokemon with the Gather ability, like the aforementioned Mincinno, will use their skill to pick up said logs and put them in a Community Chest. Do take note, logs are different from lumber as lumber is the result of chopping small logs.
Once the small logs are inside the Community Chest, Pokemon with the Chop ability, like Axew, Fraxure, and Haxorus, will start, uhm, chopping those small logs and turn them into lumber. Once they're done, wait for the speech bubble to appear on top of their heads, and they'll hand plentiful of lumber to you. Congratulations! You now have your very own lumber-making factory with the help of the friends you made along the way!
Why Is Lumber So Important in Pokemon Pokopia?
Lumber is a crucial resource in Pokemon Pokopia because it's the main material used in many things in the game, like building items and decorations. Building items include gates, doors, steps, windows, roof, and furniture. Not to mention it is necessary to have enough wood at the start of the game to build a Pokemon Center and progress the main story.
Not only aesthetics, but for utility as well, because lumber is needed in crafting storage boxes, something that is essential in housing and organizing all of your crafting/building materials in Pokemon Pokopia, where, as you progress along the game and get introduced to more kinds of stuff, you will definitely need more of.
By following this guide, producing mass amounts of the ever-so-critical lumber becomes less of a task and more of an efficient production system that needs no micromanaging whatsoever. By making Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus, and the cute Mincinno work together, you create an ultra-smooth cycle of resource production so that you can focus on other things.
And that's the beauty of Pokemon Pokopia, the autonomy of these seemingly digital creatures, being able to work well on their or together without having to boss them around. A true living utopia. Just don't forget to reward your hardworking buddies every now and then by giving them snacks or accepting requests, because they deserve it.
