Brick is a construction material used for several building projects in Pokemon Pokopia. You do not pick up bricks directly in the world. Instead, you gather Squishy Clay and have a Fire‑type Pokémon process it into bricks. This process becomes available once you reach the Bleak Beach area and unlock Torchic.
Quick answer: Break brown clay terrain blocks in Bleak Beach to collect Squishy Clay, then give the clay to Torchic, which converts each piece into two Bricks.
How Brick Is Produced in Pokémon Pokopia
Brick is created by heating Squishy Clay through a Pokémon with a burn or fire specialty. Torchic is the earliest and simplest option available in Bleak Beach. When you give Squishy Clay to Torchic, it bakes the clay and converts it into bricks after a short processing time.
| Material | Conversion Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Squishy Clay ×1 | Given to Torchic | Brick ×2 |
| Squishy Clay ×10 | Batch conversion | Brick ×20 |
The conversion does not use the smelting furnace used for ores. Torchic performs the heating directly as part of its ability.
Where to Find Squishy Clay
Squishy Clay appears in the Bleak Beach region and is collected by breaking specific terrain blocks. These blocks look like brown clay cubes embedded in the ground or shoreline.
Break them using the Rock Smash move. This move lets you destroy environmental blocks and clear terrain.
| Location | Where to Look | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Bleak Beach town area | Flooded construction sections near the ruins | Use Rock Smash on brown blocks |
| Shoreline areas | Scattered clay terrain cubes along the coast | Break blocks to collect Squishy Clay |
| Near the abandoned Pokémon Center | Clusters of clay terrain blocks | Smash blocks for clay drops |
Each destroyed clay block drops Squishy Clay, which can then be carried to Torchic for processing.
How to Unlock Torchic
Torchic appears after you build its habitat in Bleak Beach. The habitat is called Chirp‑Chirp Meal. When the required items are placed in the same area, Torchic eventually arrives inside the birdhouse.
| Habitat Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Wooden Birdhouse | Main habitat structure where Torchic appears |
| Wooden Table | Part of the feeding setup |
| Plated Food | A plate with a food item or berry placed on it |
Once the habitat is assembled, check the birdhouse periodically. When it begins to shake or rattle, interact with it to meet Torchic. After the first interaction, you can give it Squishy Clay to begin producing bricks.
Brick Requirements for Early Bleak Beach Projects
Several important structures in Bleak Beach require Brick. Gathering Squishy Clay early and converting it efficiently speeds up these builds.
| Structure | Brick Required | Other Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Center rebuild | 20 | Twine ×10, Sea Glass Fragments ×10, Iron Ore ×5 |
| Pikach Fountain | 10 | Additional decorative materials |
Completing both projects requires 30 bricks total, which means you need at least 15 pieces of Squishy Clay. Torchic can process that amount in one or two batches.
Once Torchic is unlocked and Bleak Beach clay blocks are regularly cleared, Brick becomes a reliable crafting material. Gathering Squishy Clay while exploring and periodically returning to Torchic keeps construction materials stocked for later building tasks.
