How to Unlock Flying in Pokopia

Flying is one of the most useful abilities in Pokopia, allowing you to traverse the game world more efficiently and reach new areas. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to unlock flying, from completing the necessary prerequisites to mastering the gliding mechanic.

Prerequisites: Completing Main Quests

Before you can unlock flying, you need to complete all the main quests in Pokopia. This includes:

Building and establishing Poke Centers

Completing all quests marked with an exclamation mark (these are important quests)

Note: The team initiation challenge is NOT required

Unlocking the Skylands

Once you’ve completed all main quests, you’ll unlock access to the Skylands. This is your destination for the flying ability.

Unlocking Dragonite in the Skylands

After arriving in the Skylands, your next objective is to unlock Dragonite. Here’s how:

Finding the Canoe

Navigate to the rocks in the Skylands and climb up to the top. You’ll find a canoe waiting for you at the summit.

Using Fetch to Activate the Habitat

Make sure you’re standing in the water near the canoe. Use the Fetch command to trigger water lilies or similar objects to appear. This action will unlock Dragonite’s habitat.

Learning to Fly: The Mechanics

Once Dragonite’s habitat is unlocked, Dragonite will teach you how to fly. Here’s what you need to know:

How to Activate Flying

Jump off a ledge

Hold the right bumper button

You’ll begin to glide through the air

Flying Limitations and Benefits

Flying in Pokopia operates differently than you might expect:

You can only glide downward, not fly upward

The descent is very slow, allowing for controlled movement

The slow speed makes it easy to traverse between islands

You can cover large distances without taking damage from falling

Summary

Unlocking flying in Pokopia is a straightforward process that requires patience and exploration. Complete all main quests marked with exclamation marks, unlock the Skylands, find Dragonite’s habitat through the canoe sequence, and master the gliding mechanic. Once unlocked, the slow descent speed makes flying an incredibly useful tool for island-hopping and exploring the world at your own pace.
