Walkthrough

Specialties belong to Pokémon helpers and differ from Ditto’s own transformations. Check the helper’s record before a project: a Pokémon can have up to two specialties, and the correct helper must be available for the task.
For materials, Chop processes small logs into lumber and Burn makes brick from squishy clay. Grow advances crops, while Generate supplies electricity. Build and Bulldoze lead construction and demolition or relocation respectively.
Other specialties unlock activities rather than materials: Appraise identifies Lost Relics, Hype improves party mood, and Search assists with hidden finds. Use the indexed specialty list to find candidates, then check the individual Pokémon’s habitat and current request.
