Bubbly Basin DLC Pokédex: All Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia

Pokémon Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin expansion adds a separate Pokédex tab labelled “Basin”. The area focuses on Water-type Pokémon, but its residents cover a broad range of specialties for building and exploring.

The DLC also introduces the Scrub specialty. Pokémon with Scrub can turn muddy pearls into shiny pearls, which are needed for crafting. If you are expanding a dedicated gaming setup around your favourite titles, browse RETROCADE’s arcade news and gaming features for more ideas.

This guide lists all 50 Pokémon available in Bubbly Basin, along with each Pokémon’s specialty and the habitat required to befriend it. Some Pokédex entries are greyed out at night, suggesting those Pokémon may not appear in their habitats after dark.

Useful notes for completing the Basin Pokédex

Day-only requirements apply to Drednaw and Veluza. Phione is found on Dream Island, while Manaphy becomes available after the Bubbly Basin story is complete. For players who enjoy hands-on customisation, RETROCADE also has DIY arcade kits and arcade parts for upgrades and repairs.

Once you have checked each habitat and specialty, the Basin tab provides a straightforward way to identify any remaining gaps in the collection.
