Pokopia Trade Guide: What Your Items Are Actually Worth

Pokopia hands you a scale instead of a price tag. A Pokemon with the Trade specialty stands behind a powered cash register, puts out stock based on how big your countertop is, and asks you to match a number using up to four different items out of your bag.

Pokopia Pokedex Guide: 300 Entries and the 38 Recipes They Pay

Pokopia keeps three Pokedexes and only one of them matters for completion. The main tab is 300 entries, pays out a recipe at 38 separate milestones, and ends in a locked room in the Sparkling Skylands. The Basin tab and the event tab do not count toward any of it.
