What this site does
The habitat list, the Pokédex and the material lists exist already, as separate tables. This site joins the three together, because that join is where the practical questions live.
- Every source habitat per Pokémon, not one primary habitat. 19 of the 50 Pokémon can come from more than one habitat, and every card here lists all of them, so you can pick whichever you were going to build anyway.
- Value ranking across all 36 habitats. Pokémon spawned divided by distinct material types, calculated here. The best row on the current data is Basin tall grass at 4.00.
- Material totals for a plan, not for one habitat. There are 74 distinct material types across the whole region; the planner only totals the ones your remaining Pokémon actually require.
- Progress that survives closing the tab. Collecting 50 Pokémon, 48 of them across 36 habitats, is not a one-sitting job, so the tools keep your ticks in this browser.
The four tools
Questions people are actually asking
Can I go underwater without buying the Expansion Pass?
Yes. Dive arrived with the free Ver. 2.0.0 update and works at Bleak Beach. The Expansion Pass buys the Bubbly Basin area itself, along with its 36 habitats and its 50 new Pokémon — 48 of them from those habitats, Manaphy and Phione from elsewhere.
How many new Pokémon does Bubbly Basin add?
50. Forty-eight of them come from the 36 new habitats; Manaphy arrives through the story and Phione through the Starmie Doll, so neither is tied to a habitat. They are mostly Water types, and there are no Legendaries.
How do I get Manaphy and Phione?
Neither is tied to a habitat. Manaphy comes through story progression; Phione comes with the Starmie Doll.
How much is the Expansion Pass?
It is $34.99, and that one purchase covers all three Parts. Part 2 is due late 2026 with no firm date announced.
What is in Part 2?
According to Nintendo Life, and we have not found a second source for any of it: wearable accessories for your character and your Pokémon, more Pokémon, more furniture, and no new town this time. Treat the whole list as unconfirmed, not just the part about the town. The late 2026 timing does have a second source.
Which habitat should I build first?
It depends on what you still need. If you are starting from nothing, Basin tall grass and Swaying flower bed pay back the most per material type: one material type each, four Pokémon each. Mermaid’s Gym is the worst ratio — eight distinct material types for one Pokémon — but it is the only habitat that spawns Starmie, so it is one to leave late only if Starmie is already ticked. A low ratio never means skippable when the habitat is a species’ only source.
Does my progress sync between devices?
No. It lives in this browser only — no account, no login. Clearing site data clears your ticks.
Is this an official Nintendo site?
No. It is a fan-made reference with no affiliation to Nintendo, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company.
Habitat and Pokédex data compiled from game8 and Nintendo Life and cross-checked. Value ratios, material totals and build orders are calculated on this site, not copied from either of them.
