You're going to need tomatoes in Pokemon Pokopia in order to do a number of things. Firstly, creating little farms in Pokopia is super cute, and really adds some variety to your town builds. However, there are also practical reasons too.
From tomatoes and wheat to potatoes and beans, there are a few crops you can find and grow in Pokemon Pokopia. For one, you can use them in recipes once you've been taught how to cook salads, breads, burgers, and more. While tomatoes are a key ingredient in many recipes, they're also an essential part of the Team Initiation Challenges associated with the beach lighthouse in Withered Wasteland. Whatever reason you need Pokopia tomatoes, then, here's how to get them.
How to get tomatoes in Pokemon Pokopia
To find tomatoes in Pokopia, you must first upgrade your trainer level to 'Great' by progressing through the story in Withered Wasteland. After that, you'll be able to open up the giant locked doors to the east of the town.
This gate takes you to Bleak Beach, an oceanside area of the Pokemon Pokopia map based on Vermilion City. It's here you're going to find Pokopia tomatoes for the first time, so follow the path round until you're on a lower level and see two small houses either side of the path. They're planted in a little garden-style area just behind the house on the right, and are ripe for the picking. Later, you'll also be able to find tomatoes in Rocky Ridges, too.
If you want Pokopia tomato seeds instead, they can be purchased from the Pokemon Center shop for 40 Life Coins per 5 bags of seeds. You just need to get Bleak Beach's environment level up to 3. For more tips on how to do that, see our guide on how to level up Pokopia environments. You can also get tomato seeds as gifts from Pokemon and via water splashes in the area.
Once grown, use tomatoes in various Pokopia recipes, and place them in Pokemon homes to raise the environment level - as long as they fit the right Pokopia flavor profile!
