Pokémon Pokopia has gotten some new habitats to add to its Habitat Dex as part of the Bubbly Basin DLC, and they're separated into their own section of the Habitat Dex in its own "Basin" tab .
These habitats work the same as the base game's habitats . You'll place items close to each other to create a hospitable place for a Pokémon to live. If you made the habitat correctly, it'll sparkle and register in your Habitat Dex. After some time, a Pokémon will appear there to live. The only difference between these habitats and the aforementioned base game ones is the fact that you need to own the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass to unlock these .
Below we list all the Basin habitats in Pokémon Pokopia .
[ Ed. note: This guide is a work-in-progress as we're still confirming which Pokémon appear from certain habitats. We'll update this guide with more Pokémon as we discover them.]
There are 36 new habitats in the Bubbly Basin DLC . A lot of these habitats use items exclusive to the DLC, but worry not — you can find a lot of these items just sitting around in the area, though some will require you to rank up your Environment Level to unlock recipes or have good luck on the Basin Dream Island.
