Pokopia Abilities Guide

You play as a Ditto, and the moves you use to reshape the island are learned by befriending Pokémon rather than found as items. Every move draws on a shared PP pool, so nothing can be spammed indefinitely.

Once Chef Dente is rescued at Rocky Ridge, cooked meals temporarily power up Cut, Rock Smash, Leafage and Water Gun. The boosted versions run on their own separate PP meter.
