Habitat Dex: How to Build All Habitats

Relocate Pokemon to Other Areas

Players can relocate Explode Pokemon and their Habitats to other areas to help Ditto restore other wastelands.

However, we do recommend having at least one Explode Pokemon in each area instead of having them relocate every time you move to another area. This is to reduce the hassle and keep you engaged in finding new Pokemon to befriend.

How to Use Explode Specialty

Can Only Be Used With Cannon

Pokopia - Can Only Be Used With Cannon

The Explode Specialty can only be used with a Cannon. This means that if you want to use this Pokemon's Specialty, you will need to have a Cannon with you at all times. The Cannon can be crafted at a Workbench or purchased from the PC Shop.

Fireworks Can Also Be Used As Ammo for the Cannon

You can use fireworks as ammo for the Cannon if you don't have a Pokemon with Explode Specialty yet. Fireworks can also be crafted at a Workbench or purchased from the PC Shop.

Clear and Destroy a Wide Area

Pokopia - Clear and Destroy a Wide Area

To use the Explode Specialty, place a Cannon on the ground, and lead a Pokemon with the Specialty inside it. Then, interact with the Cannon again to light it up. It will take a few seconds for the Cannon to fire, and once it does, it will destroy a wide area of blocks at a distance.

The Cannon will fire in whichever direction it is facing. However, the way it is tilted cannot be adjusted, so you cannot adjust the distance at which it would fire. You either need to place the Cannon near the target or place it higher by putting blocks beneath it.

You Don't Need a Fire-type Pokemon to Light the Cannon

You only need to interact with the Cannon to light it up. You don't need a Fire-type Pokemon or anyone who has the Burn Specialty to light the Cannon.
