Currently, there are six issues that the Pokemon Pokopia team recognized and will fix with the patch, with some of them having to do with quests that lock players out of progression if something happens to the pathing. Here’s a quick list of the issues people may face:

  • Squirtle jumps onto a tree during the quest to give them a home in Withered Wasteland, preventing the player from speaking to them.
  • The quest to find the Pokemon Center in Bleak Beach is locked if players destroy the cracked block on the bridge before Tangrowth can cross it. There is also a bug where Tangrowth’s request to fix the bridge doesn’t trigger.
  • A bug in Rocky Ridges prevents the DJ Rotom event from triggering.
  • A quest to fix the rails and roads in Rocky Ridges doesn’t trigger.
  • Spinarak’s type in the Pokedex is wrong.

Players also complained about how the current locations of some cracked blocks are difficult to see when there are other blocks nearby. This applies to the Rock Smash quest from Hitmonchan in Withered Wasteland, as well as the quest in Bleak Beach where you take Tangrowth and the others to see Mosslax.

The Pokopia team did not give a specific date for when this patch will roll out, but it said that it will be soon. The team will also continue to investigate to see if there are other issues that they have to fix.

Pokemon Pokopia is available on the Switch 2 worldwide
