The White & Black Paint Problem (And Solution)
Why Can't I Find White/Black Paint?
❌ The Problem
When crushing normal Berries, there is an extremely low random chance (RNG Bonus) to get White or Black paint. This makes it completely impractical for any large-scale building project.
✅ The Solution
Raise "Palette Town" (your starting town hub) to Environment Level 5. Once the PC Terminal is maxed out, the shop permanently unlocks all paint colors for purchase — including unlimited White and Black paint. This is the only viable method for serious aesthetic builders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get White Paint in Pokopia?▼
The practical method: raise Palette Town to Environment Level 5, then buy unlimited White Paint from the PC Shop. The RNG method (crushing Berries) has an extremely low drop rate and is not recommended.
Where is Smearguru's painting studio?▼
Smearguru's studio is located in the Bleak Beach region. Look for a small studio hut — bring your paint there to apply colors to any furniture or building module.
Can I mix paint colors in Pokopia?▼
Yes! Through Paint Balloons. You can mix two paints to create new colors: Red + Blue = Purple, Blue + Black = Navy, White + Black = Beige, Green + Yellow = Lime Green, and more. Each balloon requires 2 paint units total.
