Pokemon Pokopia’s new Bubbly Basin paid expansion adds the ability to craft smoothies to enjoy with your Pokemon friends, and it also helps power up Ditto’s surf ability. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to unlock the blender, craft smoothies, and provide all the known smoothie recipes.
While some of the 2.0 content is free in Pokopia, the smoothies are unfortunately tied to the Bubbly Basin expansion. So, to make delicious smoothies you’ll need the paid pass, and you’ll also need to advance through the main questline for Bubbly Basin.
How to unlock the blender
You’ll need to work through the Bubbly Basin story quest before you can unlock the blender recipe. If you’re just getting started, we have a guide on how to access Bubbly Basin.
Speak with Popplio and help them build the Ocean Temple. This building project takes some time to complete, as you’ll need to gather up several Pokemon to help, and they will have requests of their own before agreeing to assist Popplio.
If you’re struggling to find some of Popplio’s friends, check out our Bubbly Basin Pokedex and habitat guide.
Blender item
Once the Ocean Temple is built, you’ll want to look for Mudkip. This Pokemon should be wandering around with a dialogue bubble saying, “Hey, guess what!”
Mudkip will talk to you about making smoothies and wonders if there is a device to help make them. This conversation unlocks the blender recipe for you. It will be available to craft at the workbench for the cost of two Pokemetal.
How to craft smoothies and power up surf
Crafting a Refreshing Soda smoothie
Place the blender on a table somewhere, and you are ready to start mixing some ingredients. Making smoothies in Bubbly Basin works much like cooking burgers and other food items. You add a combination of ingredients to make various smoothie recipes.
Whereas beans are the base ingredients for making burgers, watermelon slices are the base ingredient for your smoothies.
There are several known recipes listed below, and they’ll all power up your surf ability. This is greatly helpful to speed up your exploration of Bubbly Basin. Diving around is quite slow, and powered-up surf will let you use the ability underwater for speedier travel.
