When he's not playing World of Warcraft, he's usually on the hunt for good food and a refreshing beer to wash it down. 

One of the most charming features of Pokémon Pokopia is discovering what type of Pokémon will spawn after building a certain type of habitat.

It's definitely an interesting twist on the "gotta catch 'em all" style of gameplay. We learned as kids that wild Pokémon are everywhere, with some being more common in certain habitats.

That's a fact that remains true here in Pokémon Pokopia, and it's easily one of my favorite aspects of the game. That said, sometimes it can be a little tricky to build certain habitats. Some are fairly obvious, while others are a little more difficult to get down.

Today, our guide on how to build an illuminated tall grass Pokémon spawn will cover just that: how to build the habitat, where you can get the materials from, and what type of Pokémon will spawn in the habitat.

How to Build the Illuminated Tall Grass Habitat in Pokémon Pokopia

Tall Grass Pokemon Pokopia

As you might have inferred, the Illuminated Tall Grass Habitat in Pokémon Pokopia is, well, a Tall Grass Habitat that's illuminated.

It's something that sounds super simple in theory, but figuring out the specific items you need can trip you up. Here's what you're going to need:

  • 4 patches of Tall Grass connected in some way.
  • A man-made source of light, such as a Mushroom Lamp.

It has to be a specific source of light that illuminates the grass. A campfire doesn't work.

The Tall Grass is the easy part: you'll be able to plant patches of Tall Grass through the Leafage ability you learned at the start of the game from Bulbasaur. The source of light, though, is where you might get confused.

You may have run into some glowing mushrooms in nearby caves. That's one thing you'll need, but despite the fact that they're, well, glowing, those alone won't get the job done. You need to physically craft (or purchase) an artificial source of light, such as a Mushroom lamp.

You'll automatically receive the Mushroom lamp recipe after picking up your first Glowing Mushroom.

Here's what you need to craft the Mushroom lamp:

  • 1 Glowing mushroom
  • 1 Sturdy stick

Craft the lamp at a workbench, then place it next to a Tall Grass Habitat. From there, it will register as an Illuminated Tall Grass Habitat!
