Pokémon Pokopia Essentially Has A Hidden ‘God Mode’ That Makes Everything Easier

Pokémon Pokopia is the kind of game most people are going to play at a leisurely pace, unlike me, who used every trick in the book to see the end of its main story as quickly as possible. It’s the kind of game you want to take your time with, vibing, building, and making friends with every Pokémon who shows up in your terraformed towns. However, if you are the kind of sicko who wants to create elaborate, incredible buildings and structures, Pokopia actually has a secret Ditto transformation that is basically a “God Mode,” letting you move around the map more freely and break down and replace blocks in the environment with unmatched efficiency. 

One of the ongoing story threads throughout Pokopia is a Team Initiation Challenge, in which the player drops off materials, items, and resources to a lighthouse on the beach at the Withered Wasteland area. We won’t get into story spoilers about what this all entails, but I’ll say here that finishing the challenge will let you meet another Pokémon who will teach Ditto a new transformation, and it is one of the most, uh, transformative tools you’ll get in this game.

After you complete the Team Initiation Challenge, you’ll meet Magnemite. This little guy will ask you to build it a factory storage habitat. This consists of a powered-up streetlight, a metal drum, jumbled cords, and a control unit. Once you put all these together and Magnemite decides to move in, it will teach you the Magnet Rise transformation.

I highly recommend beating the main story before rebuilding the towns for one big reason: Magnemite Form!

It lets you:

– hover in place and fly up and down
– place multiple blocks
– remove multiple blocks
– replace multiple blocks with other blocks with one click

Shapeshifting into Magnemite is one of the most complex changes the game allows. It gives Ditto unrestricted flight as long as it has PP to use the ability, allowing you to fly literally anywhere within the bounds of an area. That on its own would be a pretty great tool, but Magnet Rise also lets you place and replace multiple blocks at once, which takes so much time out of the process of creating walls, homes, roads, and pretty much anything you can think of. It’s definitely a worthy reward for how much you have to do to get it, but I also worry that folks who are taking their time and busting their ass to rebuild the world will do dozens of hours of hard labor without knowing this exists and would make their lives easier. Now that I’ve finished the main story I’m actually putting a lot more time into trying to make my towns look good, and Magnet Rise has made it so much easier to build homes by hand.
