Shape the world and build a cosy new life with Pokémon
Play as a Ditto and build a new life with Pokémon—from the ground up!
With help from your Pokémon friends, rebuild a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time.

After waking from a long slumber, a peculiar Ditto decides to restore the desolate land using its transformation skills and its surprising new crafting abilities.
Learn the moves of your fellow Pokémon to change the land, travel, and more!
