Gathering up some lumber in Pokemon Pokopia is one of the things you learn early on but is easy to forget – and I'm speaking from experience here! It's a very useful resource that's used in a lot of crafting recipes, building, and ticking off quests like the Withered Wasteland's Team Initiation challenges.
Thankfully, building up a stockpile of lumber is easy to do, as you just need a Pokemon with the Chop speciality and some small logs. It's a useful process to remember too, as it's similar to what you'll need to do to create other resources like bricks and paper in Pokemon Pokopia too.
1. Gather some small logs
Small logs are required to start your journey towards making lumber in Pokemon Pokopia. They can be found by cutting down trees across Pokopia, and may be gifted to you by Pokemon in Withered Wasteland, or found at sparkling ripples in water. Trees are definitely your best bet, though.
2. Find a Pokemon with the Chop ability
Once you've got some small logs filling Ditto's pockets, find yourself a Pokemon with the Chop specialty. There are plenty even in the opening area of Withered Wasteland, including Scyther, Heracross, and Pinsir, which is very handy.
3. Give your small logs to the Pokemon with the Chop speciality
Now it's time to get chopping. Speak to your Chop partner of choice and say "Look at this", and then pick out the small logs from your inventory.
You can give them a maximum of 10 small logs at once, which will get you 50 pieces of lumber. That's considerably more than you get from doing the same process for making bricks or paper in Pokopia, which is very handy indeed for bigger builds.
It'll take your Pokemon a little while to make your lumber, but they'll let you know when they're ready for you to collect.
