Not only is Pokopia concrete required for completing the Sparking Skylands story quests, it's also needed in rebuilding the floating island's Pokemon Center, so you may want it sooner rather than later.

Luckily, concrete is also a pretty fun material to make, with its own special machinery. That also means it's not easy to make at first, and it's not easy to figure out what you need to do, so I'll help you with that right here.

1. Collect Limestone

Limestone is the main resource needed to craft concrete, and you can pick some up in the caves in Rocky Ridges and Sparkling Skylands. To get more, though, you should consider travelling to the Rock Peak Pokopia Dream Island, where you'll be able to grab as much as you need.

2. Obtain a concrete mixer

Next, you need to get your hands on a specific item: the concrete mixer. This is obtained as part of the Sparkling Skylands story quest, so you'll just have to work through the story until you get the recipe. At that point, you can craft as many machines as you need.

3. Recruit a Pokemon with the Crush specialty

There are a few Pokopia Pokemon with the Crush speciality, including Onix and Conkeldurr. You'll need to find one and get them to follow you to the concrete maker.

4. Add limestone to the concrete mixer and assign the Pokemon to use it

There, you can place limestone into the maker and assign the Crush Pokemon to the machine. They'll operate it automatically, eventually turning limestone into concrete at a 1:1 ratio.

Now you know how to make concrete in Pokemon Pokopia, you'll be well on your way to completing the main story and restoring all the towns. There are probably still some Pokemon you haven't met yet though, so be sure to check out all the Pokemon with Pokopia Bulldoze specialty, and get their help to build houses for everyone.
