Materials in **Pokémon Pokopia** are finite. Once you've stripped your biomes clean, you'll need
            another source—and tearing down your own buildings isn't exactly ideal. Dream Islands solve this: daily
            procedurally generated zones where you can gather resources without affecting your main world.

        ## [Unlocking Dream Islands](#unlocking-dream-islands)

        Two things are required: befriending **Drifloon** and obtaining at least one **Dream
                Island Doll**. Dolls turn up in treasure blocks, inside Poke Balls, at the PC Shop, or inside
            ruins such as the abandoned houses on Bleak Beach.

        ### [Where to Find Drifloon](#finding-drifloon)

        Drifloon lives in the **Withered Wasteland**, along the shore behind the breakable wall to the
            right of the Pokémon Center. To recruit it, you must build a **Riding Warm Updrafts** habitat:
            arrange three campfires in a row and have Charmander light them. Return to Drifloon once the habitat is
            ready, and it will move in.

        ## [Dream Island Dolls & Destinations](#dream-island-dolls)

        There are seven Dolls in total. Each one (except Ditto and Substitute) sends you to a specific island type
            tied to a biome. Use the Doll that matches the resources you need. Ditto and Substitute send you to a
            random island instead.

        When Drifloon asks where you want to go, a **Things to Find** menu shows three icons per island
            type—but each island holds more than just those three materials. Explore thoroughly!

        ### [Eevee Doll](#eevee-doll-location)

        Located in a ruined house on one of the small islands northwest of Bleak Beach. From the Pokémon Center,
            face away from it, turn right, and cross the islands toward where Peakychu appears. The Eevee and Pikachu
            Dolls share the same ruined house.

        ### [Pikachu Doll](#pikachu-doll-location)

        Two Pikachu Dolls exist on Bleak Beach. The first is in the same ruined house as the Eevee Doll. For the
            second: from the Pokémon Center, run straight toward the houses on your left. Check behind the sand blocks
            in the first house on the left.

        Most other Dolls appear randomly in Poke Balls or treasure spots, or become available at the PC Shop after
            raising the Environment Level in Palette Town.

        ## [How to Use Dream Islands](#how-to-use-dream-islands)

            - **Empty your inventory** so you have room for everything you collect.

            - **Bring food** if you plan to mine—you'll need powered-up Rock Smash for ore.

            - **Place a Doll outside** (it won't work indoors) and interact with it to summon Drifloon.

            - Choose **"I wanna go to a Dream Island"** and let Drifloon carry you there.

        Once you land, gather resources, Poke Balls, and decor freely. Each island typically has around two caves—don't
            skip them. Caves contain rare materials like Crystals and **Stardust**, which you can't obtain
            anywhere else. Dream Islands also offer event-exclusive items such as Cotton Spores.

        >
            **Daily limit**: You can only visit one island type per day, but you may return to that same
                type as many times as you like within that day. Need to grab snacks or drop off loot? Head back home and
                return whenever you're ready.
