Pokopia: How to Restore the Water Wheel in Withered Wasteland

by

In Pokopia, creating electricity is key to powering up towns and improving life for your Pokémon. Electricity lets you use appliances and unlock more features. Once you learn Rock Smash in Pokopia, you’ll be able to spot and break certain blocks, which often reveal secret areas, hidden caves, or shortcuts to other parts of town.

In Pokopia, a hidden area behind the Pokemon Center in Withered Wasteland can be accessed by breaking a wall. This reveals a section of town with two broken water wheels. This guide explains how to fix these water wheels, providing a way to power up the town with electricity.

How to Fix the Water Wheel in Withered Wasteland

I’ve been exploring Withered Wasteland, and you find these cool water wheels pretty early on. But getting them working? That takes a little longer! Turns out, you first need a way to actually get water to fill them up. You need to unlock the ability to suck up water before you can restore them, which is a bit of a puzzle!

In the game Pokopia, players will learn how to collect water and build their own source to power machines and create electricity. This ability is unlocked after meeting Piplup at Bleak Beach, who asks for help in building a waterfall.

After learning how to make a water source, players need to collect water from either the area near Onix’s cave or behind the main town’s Pokémon Center. Once you have water in your character’s mouth, head to the wall near the water wheel and spit it out. Make sure to create the water source on a high cliff so gravity will keep the water flowing towards the wheel.

To power each water wheel, players need to position them at varying heights, ensuring no two wheels receive water from the same source.

Alternative Way to Get Water to the Water Wheel

The water wheel is meant to be fixed as described earlier, but players can also bypass this by redirecting water from a source found in a nearby cave. To do this, they need to dig a path leading from the water source to the wheel itself, using the Rock Smash ability behind the wheel in the southern area.

After getting through the wall, they should turn right and keep digging. This will eventually lead them to a cave filled with muddy water that drains down towards the river.
