How Many Areas Are in Pokopia? 6 Regions, 5 Main Areas
Pokopia areas guide: the current 6 live map regions, the 5 main-area count players use, and why Bubbly Basin is not a live map area yet.
Quick answer
Pokopia currently has six live map regions on PokopiaMap: Palette Town, Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges Underground, Rocky Ridges Surface, and Sparkling Skylands. If you roll the two Rocky Ridges layers together, players usually talk about five main areas. Bubbly Basin is not live on the map yet; Part 1 of the DLC is scheduled for August 5, 2026.
Current Pokopia areas
| Area | What it is for | Open this |
|---|---|---|
| Palette Town | Starter town, early shop pins, workbench, route exits, and basic items | Palette Town map |
| Withered Wasteland | Large material and collectible routes for mid-game farming | Withered Wasteland map |
| Bleak Beach | Shoreline resources, water-adjacent tasks, and DLC preparation | Bleak Beach map |
| Rocky Ridges Underground | Cave layer for minerals, underground routes, and compact pin checks | Rocky Ridges Underground map |
| Rocky Ridges Surface | Open ridge routes, surface materials, and mid-game travel loops | Rocky Ridges Surface map |
| Sparkling Skylands | Late-game materials, sky routes, and rare-resource checks | Sparkling Skylands map |
Areas vs towns vs regions
Use regions when you are filtering the interactive map. Use towns when you are talking about places you can rebuild or expand. Palette Town is the starter town everyone sees first. Bubbly Basin is the next named town, but it belongs to the paid Expansion Pass and is not a current map page.
Where Bubbly Basin fits
Bubbly Basin is Part 1 of the Expansion Pass, scheduled for August 5, 2026. It is described as an underwater town with new Pokémon, furniture, and a Ditto costume. You should not expect Bubbly Basin pins on the current map until the paid town is live and the area can be checked.
To prepare for Bubbly Basin, use the Pokopia DLC guide. The important boundary is simple: Dive comes from the free Version 2.0 update, while the Bubbly Basin town itself requires the paid Expansion Pass.
What to use next
- Use the interactive map when you already know the area and need exact pins.
- Use the Habitat guide when an area points you toward a Pokémon build.
- Use the Pokedex when you need to confirm which Pokémon, habitat, or event status applies.
