Recognize story-specific Pokémon and the distinct jobs they perform as your settlements grow.

Walkthrough

Professor Tangrowth introduces the rebuilding project and can use Appraise on Lost Relics. Bring unidentified finds to the professor before planning a party decoration or displaying an old object. Its role is distinct from ordinary Tangrowth with other specialties.
In Bleak Beach, the pale, droop-eared Peakychu helps with lighting and the power network. The same story introduces Mosslax; complete the area’s brightness request before befriending it and establishing Gourmet’s Offering for daily food boosts.
Meet Smearguru in Bleak Beach to use its Paint specialty for customizable items. Collect paint from berry processing or shops, then choose the color and object. Some items offer two separately paintable parts.
These named helpers are story characters, not merely alternate color choices for every ordinary member of their species. Consult the individual entries for their recorded specialties and use the related walkthrough for the current task.
