How To Get Charizard, Venosaur And Blastoise EARLY In Pokopia! is the question I get asked the most when setting up starter evolution zones in Pocapia. I want to show exactly where to place habitats, which items you need, and useful tricks to force the spawns early so you can add Charizard, Venosaur, and Blastoise to your island without endless waiting.
Quick checklist before you start: How To Get Charizard and Venosaur
- Charizard: group of four tall grass (very rare) or Berry Feast campsite (rare, easier).
- Venusaur / Ivysaur: large flower area (9 flowers) or garden terrace / bench with two hedges.
- Blastoise: hydrated tall grass (very rare) or inflatable tube beach setup (guaranteed if you have the items).
- Unlock Rock Smash to create water tiles for hydrated tall grass.
- Use growers (Oddish or Bulbasaur) to instantly grow flowers and hedges where needed.
Setting up water and hydrated tall grass (Blastoise)
To spawn Blastoise you need hydrated tall grass. That means water plus tall grass in the same spot. The hydrated tall grass spawn list shows Squirtle (common), War Turtle (rare), and Blastoise (very rare).
The fastest way to make water tiles is to get Rock Smash. Unlock Hitmonchan by placing a punching bag in the dilapidated building next to the bench; his first quest gives Rock Smash. Once you have Rock Smash, break wet blocks to create ponds and small waterfalls, then place tall grass next to them.
Guaranteed beach Blastoise
A reliable alternative is the floating in the shade setup. Place two water tiles, an inflatable boat or tube, and a beach parasol. That configuration can produce Blastoise as a rare but guaranteed spawn on the inflatable. If you can obtain the inflatable boat (often from Bleak Beach or shop unlocks as your environment levels up), this becomes the simplest way to get Blastoise early.
Flower setups for Ivysaur and Venusaur
Venusaurs spawn from large flower areas. A large flower bed requires nine flowers in the same area. Different flower types can produce slightly different flower habitats, so experiment if you have seaside flowers or other varieties.
I speed this up by bringing a grower (Bulbasaur or Oddish) to instantly grow the flowers for me. It’s also handy to use hedges and a bench to create a bench with greenery habitat, which is a guaranteed Ivysaur spawn when two hedges flank a wide bench. Note that hedges take time to grow—plan ahead.
Charizard: tall grass tricks and the Berry Feast campsite
There are two reliable ways to get Charizard. The first is a simple group of four tall grass tiles—Charizard is a very rare spawn there. The second is a Berry Feast campsite, which makes Charmeleon and Charizard much easier to farm.
To build the Berry Feast campsite you need a bonfire, a berry basket, and two Castform weather charms set to sun mode. The berry basket recipe costs coins and requires one of each berry (so plan Dream Island runs to collect them). Place the weather charms in sun mode, set the bonfire, then add the berry basket and wait for the campsite to cycle spawns.
Creating the campsite is a great long-term strategy. If you need Charmeleon sooner, the campsite variant with a straw stool and straw table gives a guaranteed Charmeleon spawn.
Practical spawn tips and rarities
- Rarity matters: Higher-tier habitat versions often reduce the rarity tier, making very rare spawns easier to get.
- Make multiple copies of the same habitat (for example, two or three hydrated tall grass patches) to increase your chances of hitting the very rare spawn.
- Bring growers when planting flowers or hedges to speed biome creation instantly.
- Shop and Dream Island items are required for some pieces (berry basket, inflatable boat, parasol). Level up environments and check Dream Islands regularly.
Wrapping up — how To Get Charizard and Venosaur quickly
I recommend focusing on guaranteed or easier-tier habitats first: bench with hedges or garden terrace for Ivysaur/Venusaur, Berry Feast campsite for Charizard, and the inflatable tube beach setup for Blastoise if you can find the boat. If you can’t get the special items immediately, make multiple hydrated tall grass and tall grass patches and bring growers—patience plus repetition works too.
Try these setups, tweak placement as needed, and you’ll have Charizard, Venosaur, and Blastoise living together on your island sooner than you think.
