What Is Paper Used For in Pokopia?
Paper is used mainly for furniture/props (books, posters, stationery, décor) and for some requests. In our local recipe database, most “Paper” crafts map to the item Papers — and it appears in 120 recipes.
Quick note (important): the database contains both Paper and Papers. Many recipes that display “Paper” actually use Papers as the ingredient ID.
How to Get Paper in Pokopia (Direct Answer)
You don’t “pick up Paper” — you process Wastepaper
- Collect Wastepaper.
- Give it to a Pokémon with the Recycle specialty.
- Wait for processing to finish, then collect your Paper output.
Most players process in bulk (for example, 10 Wastepaper → 20 Paper) to minimize menu time.
Best Paper Farming Method (Wastepaper Loop)
Where to farm Wastepaper
Wastepaper is most reliably farmed in Sparkling Skylands by sweeping for littered materials and scrap blocks. If you can’t access Sparkling Skylands yet, your Paper progress will be limited — plan your early crafts accordingly.
The loop
- Do a full sweep for Wastepaper (don’t leave single pieces behind — it’s slow to farm in tiny amounts).
- Return to base and process a full batch with your Recycle Pokémon.
- While Paper is processing, queue your next craft list so you can spend it immediately.
Recipes That Need Paper (High-Value Uses)
In our recipes database, Papers is used in 120 recipes. These are good “why you should stock up” examples:
- Party popper (early craft gated behind shop progression)
- Letter (easy utility/prop)
- Notepad (cheap décor)
- Bookcase (classic Paper sink)
- Corkboard (another common Paper sink)
Common Mistakes
- Farming the wrong ingredient: you need Wastepaper first, not Paper.
- Recipe mismatch: if a recipe says “Paper” but won’t accept your item, check whether it wants Papers.
- Trying to craft without a Recycle Pokémon: Paper is primarily a processing output, not a raw gather.
