The Pokopia Crush Specialty is one of the most versatile in the game, and is really important if you want to make the most out of island customization.

You'll also need a Pokemon with the Crush ability when you set out to rebuild the final area in Pokemon Pokopia, Sparkling Skylands, so it's worth familiarizing yourself with the Pokedex's Crush Pokemon as soon as possible.

  • Onix
  • Steelix
  • Pawmo
  • Pawmot
  • Dugtrio
  • Conkeldurr
  • Electivire
  • Geodude

What is the Crush specialty in Pokopia?

Unlike many of the Pokemon abilities in Pokopia, Crush is special as it actually has two great uses.

Firstly, Pokemon with the crush ability are able to turn natural materials into paint. For example, if you give a Leppa Berry to one of the Pokemon listed above, they'll turn it into red paint. Give them Chesto Berries, and they'll make blue and white paint.

The second use for the Crush ability isn't discovered until you reach the Sparkling Skylands, at which point you'll need to make concrete in Pokopia. To do so, you must allocate a Crush Pokemon to a concrete maker.

Your other Pokemon friends have their own interesting and useful specialties, including Litter, which allows them to gather materials at their home. Another important ability is the Pokopia Bulldoze specialty, which is essential for building homes for your new friends.
