Hot-Spring Water is one of the most important resources in Pokemon Pokopia if you want to build special habitats and attract certain Pokémon. Players use this water to create hot springs, unlock habitat structures, and complete specific character requests in the game.

If you want to build habitats like Hot-Spring Shower or other bath-style environments, you must first learn how to obtain and transport Hot-Spring Water. This guide explains every method to get it and how to use it efficiently.
What Hot-Spring Water Is Used For in Pokemon Pokopia
Hot-Spring Water allows players to create special hot spring habitats in the world. These habitats attract certain Pokémon and help complete storyline tasks.
You can use Hot-Spring Water to:
- Create hot spring habitats
- Decorate areas with steam pools
- Complete habitat-based requests
- Attract specific Pokémon species
Some habitats require Hot-Spring Water as a core construction ingredient. For example, the Hot-Spring Shower habitat requires Hot-Spring Water along with other items like a shower and seat.
Two Ways to Get Hot-Spring Water
There are two main methods to obtain Hot-Spring Water in the game.
1. Use the Suck Ability
The most reliable way to get Hot-Spring Water is by using the Suck ability.
When Ditto learns this ability, it can inhale water from natural hot springs and transport it to other locations.
Steps:
- Unlock the Suck ability.
- Find a natural hot spring in the world.
- Use Suck while standing in the hot spring.
- Carry the water to the location where you want to build.
- Press the A button to spit the water into a pool.
This method works best when you already have access to natural hot springs in the world.
2. Use Roserade Tea
If you cannot reach a natural hot spring, you can use Roserade Tea instead.

Drinking Roserade Tea fills Ditto with Hot-Spring Water that you can place anywhere.
Steps:
- Obtain Roserade Tea from vending machines.
- Drink the tea.
- Ditto stores Hot-Spring Water internally.
- Move to your construction area.
- Press A to spit the water into your pool.
Keep in mind that vending machines only give one random drink per day, so Roserade Tea is rare and should be saved for emergencies.
How to Unlock the Suck Ability in Pokopia
Before you can transport water, Ditto must learn the Suck move.
To unlock it:
- Progress through the Bleak Beach storyline.
- Complete the Make a Waterfall request.
- Befriend Paldean Wooper.
- Ditto learns the Suck ability.
Once you unlock it, collecting Hot-Spring Water becomes much easier.
How to Create a Hot Spring Pool
Before placing Hot-Spring Water, you must create a pool.
Follow these steps:
- Choose a location for your hot spring.
- Use blocks or terrain tools to create a pool.
- Make sure the area is enclosed so water does not spill.
- Use Ditto to spit Hot-Spring Water into the pool.
This process creates a functional hot spring.
