How to Get Paper in Pokémon Pokopia (Crafting & Sources)
Where to find Paper in Pokémon Pokopia, what recipes use it, and the most reliable way to farm it for Paper Party Cups and other crafts.
Paper is a crafting material in Pokémon Pokopia. It is used in a small number of recipes (most prominently the Paper Party Cups item) and is gated behind a few specific sources rather than open-world gathering.
Where Paper comes from
Paper is not picked up off the ground in Cloud Island like Lumber or Stone. It is a processed material, which means it appears as either:
- A reward from specific Pokémon requests or specialty actions
- An item produced from raw ingredients at a workbench or related station
- A drop tied to particular habitats or events
Because Paper has fewer sources than common gathering materials, the most reliable strategy is to complete every Pokémon request that mentions Paper and to keep an eye on event drops.
What Paper is used for
The clearest in-game use of Paper is the Paper Party Cups item, a decorative/utility recipe that requires Paper as an input. Beyond that, several other late-game and decorative recipes pull from the Paper material pool.
Compared to material staples like Lumber, Limestone, and Iron Ore, Paper is request-tier — you usually only need a few units at a time, but they can be a bottleneck when a recipe requires it.
Tips for stockpiling Paper
- Accept every Pokémon request that lists Paper as a reward — these are the most consistent path
- Park Pokémon with paper-aligned specialties in habitats they can use, so their daily requests yield Paper
- Watch event drop tables — limited-time events sometimes include processed materials like Paper as side rewards
