Want to enhance the quality of life on your island in Pokemon Pokopia? Then it's time to increase your Environment Level.

Functioning similarly to the Town Rating in Animal Crossing, the Environment Level in Pokopia measures the quality of the island and how well you've restored the area. It focuses on the ecological health of the land and the happiness of the Pokemon who inhabit it.

If you want to improve the environments of your Pokemon, here's everything you need to know about increasing the Environment Level in Pokopia.

What Are Environment Levels in Pokemon Pokopia?

As mentioned, environment levels measure how well you've improved the ecosystems of the towns in Pokopia.

Unlike Animal Crossing's Town Rating, where you only care about one rating for your town, Pokopia requires players to raise the Environment Levels of four towns: Withered Wastelands, Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges, and Sparkling Skylands. (Note: there is a fifth town, Palette Town, but it is a free-play sandbox town.)

If you want to reach the end credits of the game, you'll need to raise the Environment Level of the four towns to Level 5. To see your Environment Level, head to the Pokemon Center PC at the top of your screen. The maximum Environment Level is 10.

Here is something important to note: sometimes, the Environment Level can go down. Some factors, like the weather, can cause this. If you move a Pokemon to a habitat that isn't to its liking, this can also cause a decrease in your level.

How to Increase Your Environment Level in Pokemon Pokopia

As you progress through each story, you'll naturally be able to increase the town's Environment Level, but there are some tips and tricks to help you reach Level 5 quickly.

One thing to make sure of is that each Pokemon has a home. To do so, prioritize building more and more habitats. Doing this will draw more Pokemon to your town. Your habitat also needs to have buildings, so take the time to restore the architecture around you. Habitats should also have relaxation furniture, items, and homes, as these will help your Pokemon truly feel at ease.

The best way to increase your Environment Level is to take care of the inhabitants' Comfort Level. When you open your PC, you can see how each Pokemon feels in their home environment. If you see Pokemon that feel iffy or average, check up on them, and they will tell you what they would like to have. When you give Pokemon the things they ask for, the Environment Level improves.

Sometimes, it might be necessary to move Pokemon to a different habitat. To do so, have the Pokemon you want to move to follow you. When you're in a different habitat, you can ask them if they want to move there.

Another way to increase your Environment Level is by completing Challenges. Check your Pokemon Center PC for Challenges, as it gives you ideas on how to keep your Pokemon comfortable. Plus, it's a great way to gather material!

Other than that, simply playing with your Pokemon and continuously fixing the area can boost your Environment Level before you even know it.

It definitely takes work, but it's worth it to see your friends happy and at home.
