Pokémon Pokopia has been available on the Switch 2 for over a week now, and if you’re still getting your head around the basics (or haven’t got the game just yet), this quick and easy tutorial about how to make a ‘real’ house for you or your Pokémon offers some handy advice.
We’re not referring to assembly kits here – we’re talking about your very own custom-made house from the floor to the roof.
So, what will it take to get the job done? As our senior video producer Alex Olney explains in the short and simple video above (note: there are some minor gameplay and environmental spoilers), all you’ll need is a door and some connected blocks to get the game to register an “empty house”.
The walls only need to be one block in height, and you’ll need some floor space, but you don’t even need a roof. And that’s it! Just remember, if you remove any blocks, you’ll need to add them back to ensure the build is classed as a home.

After the building phase is complete, you can furnish the space to fulfil the living requirements (that’s three items of furniture for a Pokémon, or a Ditto Flag to make it your home), and you’re good to go!
If you want to learn more about Pokémon Pokopia and how it works, or are just finding the whole thing a tad overwhelming with everything on offer, be sure to check our extensive list of guides here on Nintendo Life. We’ve got tips, the game’s Pokédex, details about the habitats, and much more.
