Key Insights
What is the 3D Printer in Pokémon Pokopia and how does it work?
The 3D Printer is a machine located on the left side of the rebuilt Pokémon Center that duplicates items using Pokemetal as a resource. To use it, you need a reference photo of an item you want to copy. This includes items found on Dream Islands and objects collected from other players' worlds, allowing players to expand their collections without extensive grinding.
What are the requirements to rebuild the Pokémon Center in Pokopia?
To rebuild the Pokémon Center, you must first reach Environment Level 3 by building habitats and increasing Comfort Levels of befriended Pokémon. Then purchase the Pokémon Center Rebuilding Kit from the Shop for 1000 Life Coins. Finally, assemble a construction crew of exactly 8 Pokémon: one with Build specialty, one with Bulldoze specialty, one with Chop specialty (Scyther works), and 5 additional Pokémon matching specific silhouettes shown at the kit.
