How to Get Iron Ore & Smelt Ingots in Pokémon Pokopia
Quick Answer:
Mine Iron Ore with Rock Smash (eat Hamburger Steak for hard deposits). Place ore in a Smelting Furnace and guide a Burn specialty Pokemon to fire it. 1 Iron Ore = 1 Iron Ingot. Same process works for Gold, Copper, and Glass (from sand/ash).
Step 1: Mining Iron Ore
Iron Ore is found in ore veins across all regions. Use Rock Smash to break them.
Hamburger Steak Buff (for Hard Deposits)
Some iron deposits are too hard for normal Rock Smash. Cook a Hamburger Steak(4 Beans on a Frying Pan) and eat it to temporarily power up your Rock Smash ability. This buff is essential for accessing the richest ore veins.
Alternative source: Recycle specialty Pokemon can convert Nonburnable Garbage into Iron Ore.
Step 2: Smelting in the Furnace
Craft a Smelting Furnace and place it in your town. Then:
- 1. Place ore/material into the Smelting Furnace
- 2. Guide a Burn specialty Pokemon (Magmar, Torkoal, Charmander, etc.) to the furnace
- 3. The Pokemon provides fire and the material is smelted
