If your Pokémon suddenly goes missing in Pokémon Pokopia, it can be hard to tell what actually went wrong. Most of the time, you only realize something is off after returning to your world and noticing that one of your companions is no longer around. Dream Islands make this even trickier as their layouts change every time you visit, and with so many paths, habitats, and hidden corners, it’s easy to lose track of your Pokémon. However, the good news is that they are not gone for good and Pokémon Pokopia lets you bring lost companions back safely. Here’s how to get a lost Pokémon back from a Dream Island.
Pokémon Pokopia: How to Bring a Lost Pokémon Back
You can accidentally make a Pokémon stop following you while exploring a Dream Island by pressing up on the D-pad near them. When that happens, they stay where they are instead of continuing to follow, and if you keep moving or leave the island, they will not come back with you.
To get a lost Pokémon back in Pokémon Pokopia, you need to use Honey at their habitat. First, you’ll need to collect Honey from flowers by finding and interacting with flowers that show a golden sparkle, as these contain Honey. Once you have some, return to your world and head to the missing Pokémon’s home or habitat. Open your inventory, select the Honey, and use it while standing right next to the habitat.
After a few seconds, the missing Pokémon will come back to you. Moreover, if more than one Pokémon lives in the same habitat, using Honey will bring all of them back at once, not just the one you were trying to find.
You can also use the Pokédex to find a Pokémon that might have wandered off. Simply open the Pokédex, select the Pokémon you’re looking for, and choose the Search option by pressing “+.” Then walk around and talk to nearby Pokémon, who may give you hints or guide you toward your missing friend. Or you can always use Honey at their habitat to lure your missing Pokémon back quickly.
