Pokemon Pokopia - How to Move Houses

You can move Ditto or other village Pokemon to new homes in Pokemon Pokopia. See how you can move your habitats and relocate Ditto and other Pokemon to other houses here.

How to Move Built Houses

  1. Purchase and Use a Relocation Kit
  2. Bring the Required Pokemon
  3. Collect the Relocation Kit
  4. Place and Build the Relocation Kit

Purchase and Use a Relocation Kit

Pokopia - Relocation Kit

Moving buildings is a slightly longer process, first requiring you to buy a Relocation Kit from the shop.

Upon acquiring this Relocation Kit, place it in front of the house to designate it for moving.

Block Houses Cannot Be Relocated

Machop

Take note that houses built using blocks cannot be relocated using a Relocation Kit. Only fixed houses and structures built using a building kit can be moved. Building kits that create block houses also cannot be moved.

Block houses must be rebuilt block-by-block if you want to move them.

Bring the Required Pokemon

Pokopia - Assign Pokemon

Afterwards, you must bring adequate Builder Pokemon who can help deconstruct and move the house.

If it is Ditto's House, Remove the Ditto Flag

Pokemon Pokopia - Get the Ditto Flag

If you are moving Ditto's house, you must also remove your Ditto Flag during this time or else it will not proceed to the next part of the moving process.

Collect the Relocation Kit

With the Pokemon assigned, return to it at a later time once the Pokemon have finished packing up in order to retrieve the now-full Relocation Kit.

Place and Build the Relocation Kit

Pokopia - Set Down House

Take the Relocation Kit to a new area and set it down, where you will then need the Builder Pokemon to help you build it again, minus the materials.

After placing the Kit and assigning the Pokemon, all that's left to do is to wait and the house will finish up via the normal construction process.

How to Move Pokemon Habitats

  1. Create a new Habitat
  2. Get the Pokemon to Follow
  3. Go Near the New Habitat
  4. Ask the Pokemon to Move There

Create a New Habitat or House

Building the Leaf Den

To start with moving Pokemon to new homes, you must first create a new and empty habitat or house for your Pokemon to move to.

How to Build Houses and Structures

Get the Pokemon to Follow

Pokopia - Follow Me

Once that is complete, ask the Pokemon in question to follow you.

How to Have Pokemon Follow You

Go Near the New Habitat

Take the Pokemon to the new habitat or house and talk to them.

Ask the Pokemon to Move There

Moving a Pokemon to a House

When near a new, empty, and suitable habitat or house, you can ask your Pokemon to move and they will live there instead, completely taking the new area as their home.

What to Do if You Can't Move

Check if the House is Eligible

Firstly, check if the house you are trying to move is eligible to be moved by a Relocation Kit. Certain light houses like Leaf Dens are simple and can be moved, but full-on constructed houses are not allowed.

This goes the same for habitats too, but you can simply circumvent that by building a new habitat as they do not eat up as much resources and time as full houses.

Check if There are Pokemon Inside

Shared House with 4 Inhabitants

It is also possible that you cannot move the house because there are still Pokemon inside the area. Ensure that there are no Pokemon inside the house before attempting to move.

In addition, you could also remove the door or a wall block from the house to forcibly evict all the Pokemon inside.

Check if the Ditto Flag is Attached

Houses, particularly your own, cannot be removed if the Ditto Flag is still rested at the top of the house.

To fix, simply remove the Ditto Flag from the house to free it up for moving.

How to Give Ditto a House

Check if the Pokemon are Eligible

Charmander

Lastly, it is possible that the Pokemon you are trying to assign to the new habitat or home are simply not eligible for it.

This is often the case if you build the new house or habitat by certain terrain. For example, a Charmander would want to steer clear of a house built near Spring Water, and will not move there if these conditions are present.
