An item in Pokopia rarely does just one thing. A bundle of tall grass is an environmental element some habitats need nearby, but it is also a crafting ingredient and a gift that certain Pokémon actually want. Lumber goes into habitat recipes, kit recipes, and crafting chains. Knowing an item by name is not the same as knowing what it does.

• Habitat ingredientsPlaced in the world to create or extend a habitat. Gathered or crafted first, then arranged.
• Kit materialsGathered and handed to a builder Pokémon to construct a house or structure.
• Gifts and requestsGiven to resident Pokémon to raise their Comfy Level. Each species has preferences.
• Climate settersPlaced in or near a habitat to define its climate type: humid, dry, warm, cold or dark.
• Crafting ingredientsRaw materials turned into finished items at the recipe screen before being used elsewhere.

The distinction that trips people up most is gathered versus crafted. You cannot place raw lumber directly into most recipes. Lumber goes into the recipe screen first, turns into something else, and that finished item is what the habitat or kit actually wants. The catalogue shows both ends of that chain.

The Items catalogue shows every item in the game. Search by name to go straight to what you are looking for. Filter by category to browse a section: building materials, food, decorations, climate gear, and more than two dozen others.

The craftability filter splits the list into two groups. Craftable items have a recipe: one or more ingredients from the crafting screen. Found or purchased items have no recipe — they come from gather nodes in the world, from the shop, or from events. If you are trying to figure out how to get something and it shows as found or purchased, you cannot craft your way to it.

Each item in the catalogue opens a detail panel. The panel has three sections: recipe, uses, and habitats.

Recipe shows the crafting ingredients for items that have one, each as a tappable row. Tap an ingredient and the panel drills into that ingredient, showing its own recipe. There is a back button to return. This lets you trace a crafting chain several levels deep without losing your place.

Uses shows which other items consume this one as an ingredient. Useful when you are sitting on raw materials and want to know what you can make from them.

Required by shows every habitat that needs this item in its recipe, with a quantity badge and a button to add that habitat to the Build Queue directly from here.
