Pokemon Pokopia - How to Find Rare Pokemon

Create a Habitat for a Rare Pokemon

Bed with a plush habitat with a Rare Slowbro

If you want to find Rare Pokemon, you need to firstly pick out habitats that these particular Pokemon live in. You can check your Habitat Dex to see if a habitat has any rare Pokemon that can spawn there.

Hover over the silhouettes or question mark icons to see the Pokemon rarity.

Create Habitats for Non-Encountered Pokemon

Two Fields of Flowers Habitats

Once you have sorted out which habitats you need, make as many as you need to in accordance to how many Rare Pokemon you want to try and attract from that habitat.

Wait for a Pokemon

The longest part of this process now comes in waiting for this Pokemon to appear by the habitat, which can take an invariable amount of time depending on how lucky you are.

Rare Pokemon usually take longer than common Pokemon to appear. If you feel like you aren't getting any Pokemon spawns even if you have several available habitats, there's a chance your next Pokemon will be rare!

Adjust Time of Day if None Appear

Adjust Date and Time

If it is taking too long and you are willing to sacrifice immersion, you can try to speed up the process by changing the time and day on your device to force new Pokemon spawns.

What Are Rare Pokemon?

Mostly Evolved Pokemon

Heracross and Slowking Talking

For the most part, rare Pokemon are Pokemon that are not frequently encountered, which include evolved forms of Pokemon and some single-stage basic Pokemon.

Rare Pokemon will be marked in the Habitat Dex as rare, so you should be able to see if there are any rare Pokemon you're missing from your existing habitats.
