Where to find Ocean Doors in Pokopia Bubbly Basin

A Destructoid guide explains how players can obtain Ocean Doors, a key crafting item needed to build the ocean temple in the Bubbly Basin region of Pokémon-adjacent life-sim game Pokopia. Unlike most building materials in the region, Ocean Doors cannot be found lying around and must instead be crafted, which requires first locating a hidden recipe. This matters to players progressing through Bubbly Basin's restoration storyline, as the temple is a major structure tied to Popplio's questline.

The crafting recipe is found inside a Pokéball buried under rubble at the top of the stairs in the middle of Bubbly Basin, requiring moves such as Rock Smash and Rollout to clear the debris and reveal it. Players may pick it up automatically while completing Popplio's clean-up task without realising it, so checking crafting station recipes is advised if it isn't found directly. Once unlocked, each Ocean Door can be crafted using one Star-Spotted Rock, a common resource in the area, and the temple requires two doors in total, meaning two rocks must be gathered.
