Mechanics Guide — Electricity, Water & Paint Systems Explained

March 22, 2026 mechanicselectricitywaterpaint

Pokopia Companion now features a full Mechanics section covering three core game systems: electricity, water, and paint. Here’s an overview of each.

Electricity

Unlocked at Bleak Beach, electricity powers lights, appliances, and electronics across your habitats. Four generators produce power at different rates:

Power reaches items via Utility Poles or Wireless Power Transmitters with a range of 10 blocks. Be careful with overloading — there’s a maximum of 64 generators and 256 transmitters per area.

The Electricity page lists all 49 powered items with their consumption — from gaming chairs to chandeliers.

Water

Water serves both aesthetic and functional purposes — it hydrates plants, creates ambiance, and comes in 5 types with different properties:

Water spreads on flat surfaces and flows through trenches up to 25 blocks. Check the Water page for details on spread mechanics, cliff flow, and water levels.

Paint

Smeargle unlocks the Paint system at Bleak Beach. Paint is produced by having Pokemon with the Crush specialty process berries:

Combine base paints to create 18 colors, then apply them to over 298 items. You can also discover 95 patterns — some from the start, others from Dream Islands, and exclusive ones from Vespiquen.
