Pokémon Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin expansion adds 36 habitats to a separate “Basin” tab in the Habitat Dex. This guide lists each habitat, its required items and the Pokémon currently confirmed to appear.
As with habitats in the base game, place the listed objects close together. A correctly arranged habitat sparkles and registers in the Habitat Dex, after which a Pokémon can move in. These Basin habitats require the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass.
Many recipes use items introduced in the DLC. Some can be found around the Basin, while others become available by increasing your Environment Level or through good luck on Basin Dream Island.
Guide status: This list remains a work in progress. Entries marked “???” have not yet been confirmed.
