How to Get Squishy Clay in Pokopia
Squishy Clay is one of the first “real building” materials players run into — and it’s the input for Bricks.
Direct answer: Use Rock Smash on Clay blocks (early cave north of Withered Wasteland near your first Onix encounter), or farm Bleak Beach where Clay blocks are abundant once the area is unlocked. Some Ground Pokémon with a Litter specialty can also drop Squishy Clay passively.

Common Problems
- “I can’t find clay blocks”: You’re probably not in the right cave/area yet — Bleak Beach is the most consistent clay farm zone.
- “I broke blocks but got something else”: Make sure you’re smashing the correct Clay block type.
- “I converted all my clay into Bricks”: Keep a base-material buffer so you can pivot to non-Brick crafts without re-farming.
