How to get Frillish in Pokopia Bubbly Basin
Frillish is an important Pokémon to find in Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin, with its pink female form required for story progression. Players must raise the region’s environment level to three, then follow Popplio’s hint for “The floaty pink one” to make it appear in a north-western cave.
The female Frillish is found near the Starmie Doll location once the relevant mission stage is reached. The optional blue male form can be summoned through either an ocean treasures Habitat—bottled ship, marine chest and sparkling jewellery—or a playing sailor Habitat, using a big treasure chest, ship’s wheel, bottled ship and wooden crate.
In short
- Raise Bubbly Basin to level three to unlock story Frillish.
- Ask Popplio about “The floaty pink one”.
- Habitats can summon either Frillish form.
Explained simply
Pokopia is a Pokémon game in which players explore areas and complete story missions by finding Pokémon and creating suitable habitats for them. Bubbly Basin is one of its regions, and the environment level rises as players develop the area.
Frillish is a sea-dwelling Pokémon with pink and blue forms. Finding the pink form matters to the story, while the blue form is an optional discovery; hints from other Pokémon can point players towards where to look.
