Pokemon Pokopia Guide: How To Befriend Mew & Mewtwo

Getting Mew and Mewtwo into your village in Pokemon Pokopia is one of the most satisfying goals in the game. These two Legendaries sit at entries 299 and 300 in your Pokedex, and earning their friendship requires patience, the right resources, and knowing exactly where to look. Neither encounter is gated behind difficult combat, but both demand real effort across multiple game systems. Here is everything you need to know to bring these iconic Pokemon home.

How Do You Unlock Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia?

Before you can even think about befriending Mewtwo, you need to reach the Sparkling Skylands, the final area of . If you have not unlocked it yet, focus on progressing through the main story first. There is no shortcut here.

Once you arrive in the Sparkling Skylands, your first task is building the Waterside Dinghy habitat to meet Dragonite. This will be one of the first objectives the game hands you upon arrival. After completing it, head to the island featuring the tall metal tower to begin Tinkatuff's storyline. Work through Tinkatuff's quests until the game asks you to restore the Skyland Building. Completing that restoration leads you to the top floor, where you will encounter Mewtwo for the first time and add it to your Pokedex.

dangerMeeting Mewtwo at the top of the Skyland Building adds it to your Pokedex, but it will NOT move into any of your villages automatically. You still need to complete the Dream Island step.

How To Restore the Skyland Building

Restoring the Skyland Building works the same as other construction projects in , except it is split across multiple floors. Each floor requires a separate set of materials and takes one full in-game day to complete. Plan ahead and gather resources in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.

infoIf you want to skip the one-day construction wait between floors, you can use your Nintendo Switch 2's system settings to time travel forward. This is a legitimate method many players use to speed up building projects in .

Once all floors are restored, you will be sent on a quest to the top of the building, triggering the first Mewtwo encounter.

How To Get Mewtwo To Move Into Your Village

After the Skyland Building encounter, Mewtwo will not settle in your village on its own. To make that happen, you need to find it on a Dragonite Dream Island. You can access Dream Islands using either a Dragonite or a Ditto Poke Doll.

Mewtwo's exact location on these islands is randomized, but it almost always appears behind enclosed walls built from various materials. Break through those walls, speak with Mewtwo, and invite it back to your village.

Here is what makes Mewtwo particularly flexible compared to other Legendaries:

• No dedicated habitat required.Mewtwo does not need a special biome or structure.
• It settles comfortably in a standard Tall Grass habitat or any available home slot.
• After accepting your invitation, Mewtwo will initially follow you back to wherever Drifloon dropped you off, and it will continue following you if you move to new areas.

infoBecause Mewtwo has no habitat requirement, it is one of the easier Legendaries to place once you actually befriend it. The hard part is getting to that Dream Island encounter.
