How Habitats Work in Pokemon Pokopia
Habitats are areas of your island designed to match the natural environments of different Pokemon species.
Each Pokemon has specific environmental preferences, including:
- Terrain type
- Nearby decorations
- Food availability
- Weather conditions
If your habitat matches these requirements, the Pokemon will visit your island and may eventually become a permanent resident.
