How to Use The Dowsing Machine In Pokopia

The Dowsing Machine is a valuable tool in Pokopia that helps you locate hidden treasures scattered throughout the world. However, its mechanics aren’t immediately obvious to new players. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to equip and use the Dowsing Machine effectively, so you can start discovering hidden items like mysterious slates and other valuable treasures.

Equipping the Dowsing Machine

To begin, you’ll need to equip the Dowsing Machine. Simply press A to add it to your active items. Once equipped, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Finding a Compatible Pokémon Partner

The Dowsing Machine requires a Pokémon with the search ability to work properly. Not all Pokémon can assist with this task. Vesp queen is one of the best options for treasure hunting, as it possesses strong search capabilities.

To partner with your chosen Pokémon, talk to it and ask it to follow you. This will make them your active companion for the dowsing process.

Starting the Dowsing Search

Once your search Pokémon is following you, press A again to activate the Dowsing Machine. Your partnered Pokémon will immediately sense nearby treasures and begin running off in their direction.

Following Your Pokémon to Treasure

As your Pokémon searches, they will run ahead and announce “I just know it, babes” when they detect something. Follow them as they move from location to location, continuing to press A to progress the search. They will lead you deeper and deeper toward the hidden treasure.

Locating and Excavating the Treasure

Eventually, your Pokémon will stop and announce “Something’s just below here” while the machine begins beeping. This indicates you’ve reached the treasure location. At this point, pull out your rocks and start digging downward to excavate the hidden item.

Collecting Your Prize

After digging, you’ll uncover your treasure. In this example, you may find items like a mysterious slate—an artifact with intricate patterns and letters etched onto its surface. Check your bag to confirm the item has been added to your inventory.

Exiting the Dig Site

Once you’ve collected your treasure, place bricks down beneath you to climb back out of the excavation area. This will allow you to return to ground level safely.

Summary

Using the Dowsing Machine in Pokopia is straightforward once you know the steps: equip the machine, partner with a search-capable Pokémon like Vesp queen, press A to activate it, follow your Pokémon to the treasure location, dig when prompted, and collect your reward. With this technique mastered, you’ll be able to discover all the hidden treasures waiting throughout the Pokopia world.
