How to Wake Up Mosslax (Snorlax) in Pokémon Pokopia
Quick Answer:
To wake up Mosslax at Bleak Beach, you must complete the "Brighten Things Up!" quest. Accumulate 100 Bloom Points by building Utility Poles, connecting Windmills and Water Wheels to the power grid, finding Peakychu (pale Pikachu variant) on the western island, crafting a Shell Lamp for it, and guiding it to the main generator. When all lights activate, Raikou's shadow flashes across the cliff, fully awakening Mosslax.
What is Mosslax?
Mosslax is a unique Snorlax variant found in a cave on the north side of Bleak Beach. It is covered in moss with a withered flower growing on its head. Trubbish will complain about noise from the cave — use Rock Smash to break through the wall and discover Mosslax sleeping inside. It has been dormant so long that it has merged with the environment, and normal methods cannot wake it.
"Brighten Things Up!" — Complete Walkthrough
Your goal is to accumulate 100 Bloom Points to make the flower on Mosslax's head fully bloom. Each lighting milestone adds Bloom Points.
Build Utility Poles & Light the Harbor
Follow Meowth's instructions to craft Utility Poles. Place them along the harbor area. Then recruit a Pokemon with the Generate specialty (Pawmi is available nearby) to power up at least 3 harbor streetlights.
Generate Pokemon nearby: Pawmi (Bleak Beach), Magnemite
Build Windmills & Water Wheels
Construct Windmills and Water Wheels on the beach. Connect them to the main power grid using Utility Poles. This generates sustained electricity for the entire Bleak Beach area.
Find Peakychu on the Western Island
Travel to the small island west of Bleak Beach. There you will find Peakychu — a pale, weakened variant of Pikachu unique to this region. It is weak due to lack of electrical power.
Peakychu has both Generate and the exclusive Illuminate specialty, making it essential for this quest and future lighting tasks.
Craft a Shell Lamp for Peakychu
Collect Seashells and Sea Glass Fragments from the beach area. Use them to craft a Shell Lamp. Give the lamp to Peakychu to restore its energy.
Guide Peakychu to the Main Generator
Lead Peakychu back to the beach and guide it to the main charging station/generator. Peakychu will supercharge the entire grid.
Mosslax Awakens!
When the charging station reaches full capacity and all lights illuminate, Raikou's shadow will briefly flash across the clifftop. The surge of energy causes Mosslax's flower to fully bloom, reaching 100 Bloom Points. Mosslax awakens and can now be recruited to your town.
Quest Complete: "Brighten Things Up!"
Mosslax is now available as a resident Pokemon with unique abilities.
