Key Takeaways
- Players can temporarily upgrade Pokemon Pokopia Water Gun by cooking and eating Soup after unlocking the cooking system.
- Cooking becomes available after rescuing Chef Dente in the Rocky Ridges region.
- Soup increases Water Gun’s spray range, allowing players to restore terrain and water plants much faster.
In Pokemon Pokopia, restoring the environment is one of the most important parts of gameplay. From watering plants to fixing dried terrain, many tasks rely on Ditto’s abilities. One move that players will use frequently is Water Gun, which helps bring life back to damaged areas across the map.
Unfortunately though, Water Gun at its default state has a limited range, causing some tasks related to restoring the environment in Pokémon Pokopia to be more difficult and take longer to complete than they would have been without this limitation.
On a positive note, players have the ability to temporarily improve the range of their Water Gun move through cooking. If you want to learn how to upgrade Pokémon Pokopia’s Water Gun, you will do so through the game’s cooking system as well.
How to Upgrade Pokemon Pokopia Water Gun

The easiest way to upgrade Pokemon Pokopia Water Gun is by eating Soup. In Pokopia, cooked meals restore PP and temporarily strengthen certain moves used by Ditto. Soup specifically boosts Water Gun, allowing it to spray water across a much wider area.
To access the cooking functionality you will have to complete enough of the main story line so that you reach the Rocky Ridges region of Pokopia. While in that region, you will eventually encounter Chef Dente who has been trapped in a barrel. Once you help him out of that barrel, the Pokemon cooking would become available, along with all the types of meals that you could make in Pokemon Pokopia.
After unlocking the ability to use Cooking, you’ll need a Cooking Pot. Here are two options for how to get a Cooking Pot.
- You can find a Cooking Pot in the cave that Magmar appears.
- You can also create a Cooking Pot by using two Copper Ingots made from Copper Ore that has been smelted using a Fire-type Pokémon in a furnace.
Once you have your Cooking Pot, you can use it to cook Soup by placing it over heat (a stove or an open flame) and using the following ingredients:
- 1 Fresh Water
- 2 Vegetables (any type)
Fresh Water can be purchased from the PC Shop, while vegetables can be gathered during exploration or harvested from plants.
Once the soup is cooked, feed it to Ditto to get the buff active!
What the Pokemon Pokopia Water Gun Upgrade Does

After eating Soup, the Pokémon Pokopia Water Gun ability temporarily increases in power. This is indicated by a visual cue in the game in the form of the Move Power going from White to Golden.
As long as the Increase in Power (referred to as a Power-Up) is active, the Water Gun will have a larger area of effect when spraying. This leads to increased efficiency when completing tasks because players can Water Crops more efficiently, restore more Dry Land at a time and complete Environmental Restoration much faster around Habitats.
The Power-Up effect lasts until you have used all of the Power Points associated with it. You can get another Water Gun Power-Up anytime by cooking and eating another bowl of Soup.
Additionally, Buffs from Food apply to other Moves in the game:
- Bread improves the move Cut
- Hamburger Steak boosts Rock Smash
Understanding how to use Food Buffs to your advantage is an important part of progressing through the game of Pokopia. If used correctly, Food Buffs will greatly increase your efficiency when exploring, crafting and completing Environmental Restorations.
