Key Takeaways
- Mewtwo becomes available only after reaching the Sparkling Skylands, the final region in the main story.
- Completing Tinkatuff’s questline and restoring the Skyland Building triggers the first encounter.
- To recruit the Legendary permanently, you must locate it again on a Dream Island using a Dragonite or Ditto Poke Doll.
- Mew is discovered separately in the Withering Wastelands by solving the Unown wall puzzle with 27 Mysterious Cubes.
Mew and Mewtwo are among the final Pokemon you can recruit in Pokemon Pokopia, and reaching them takes a fair amount of exploration and quest progress. Both appear very late in the adventure, and unlocking them involves progressing through building restoration, Dream Island exploration, and a few hidden puzzles across different regions.
If you are aiming to complete the Pokedex or expand your village with Legendary residents, unlocking Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia becomes an important late-game objective. This guide explains how you can encounter both Mewtwo and Mew and invite them to your village.
How to find Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia

Your search for Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia only begins after reaching the final region, Sparkling Skylands. This area only unlocks after progressing through the main story quests.
Once you arrive in Sparkling Skylands, you will receive a task related to building habitats and interacting with certain Pokemon. One of the first requirements here is constructing the Waterside Dinghy habitat, which allows you to meet Dragonite and continue the regional questline.
After completing this step, travel to the island with the tall tower and begin Tinkatuff’s storyline. Continue following the quest objectives until the game asks you to restore the Skyland Building. Completing the building restoration eventually leads to your first encounter with Mewtwo.
Restoring the Skyland Building

The Skyland Building restoration works similarly to other construction projects in the game, but it happens floor by floor. Each level requires specific materials and takes one in-game day to complete.
Each floor requires several crafting materials, including:
- Brick
- Glass
- Paper
- Lumber
- Concrete
- Pokemetal
- Iron Ingots
- Copper Ingots
- Glowing Stone
After finishing all the floors, you will be directed to the top of the building. This triggers your first meeting with Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia and registers it in your Pokedex.
However, this encounter alone does not recruit it to your village.

Even after the initial encounter, Mewtwo will not automatically move into your village. To recruit it permanently, you must locate it again on a Dream Island.
To visit a Dream Island, use either of the following items:
- A Ditto Poke Doll
- A Dragonite Poke Doll
After entering a Dream Island, explore the island carefully. Legendary Pokémon on Dream Islands usually appear in hidden sections of the map.
Break the walls and talk to Mewtwo once you reach it. After interacting with it, you will receive the option to invite it to your village.
Unlike many other Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo does not require a special habitat and can live in most standard areas. This flexibility makes recruiting Mewtwo in Pokemon Pokopia easier compared to many other Legendary residents in the game.

While Mewtwo is tied to the Skylands storyline, Mew follows a completely different discovery path.
To find Mew, travel to the Withering Wastelands, which is one of the earliest regions in the game. Hidden within this area is a sealed location often referred to as Mew’s Lair.
You may discover the entrance early, but you cannot access it until you unlock the puzzle tied to the Unown wall.
Solving the Unown Wall Puzzle

Inside the hidden area is a stone wall covered with Unown symbols. To unlock it, you must collect Mysterious Cubes scattered across the world.
You need 27 Mysterious Cubes in total. These cubes appear in glowing dig spots scattered across different regions. Some dig spots contain fossils or relics instead, so collecting all 27 cubes can take a while.
To speed up the process, many players use:
- A Dowsing Machine
- Pokemon with the Search ability
Once all cubes are collected, they can be arranged in the Unown wall puzzle. After placing them correctly, the wall activates and reveals a glowing portal.
Interact with the portal to trigger the encounter with Mew.
