Crystal fragments in Pokémon Pokopia may seem rare and mystical, but the way to find them is pretty straightforward—if you know where to look. The process is simple: spot a shiny rock, break it open, and collect your rewards. But don’t assume it’s too easy; the game intentionally makes you work for these clusters by blocking paths or requiring specific skills.
Once you establish a reliable farming route, turning these stubborn crystals into a regular source of materials becomes much easier. With some patience, you’ll be able to gather plenty of crystal fragments efficiently.
### How to Find Crystals
In Pokémon Pokopia, you get Crystal fragments by locating and smashing Crystal clusters in certain areas of the map. One of the most reliable early spots is in the Rocky Ridges region, not far from where the Pokémon Center is located.
This area is partly blocked by boulders, so you’ll need to move them aside to access the interior. Inside, you’ll encounter iron gates that you need to cut through to reach the Crystal formations. Continue along the designated path, then follow the fork where you can turn right and then left to find clusters.
From the Pokémon Center, head straight along the path just to its left until you enter a cave. Inside, follow the main route forward until you reach the fork. At this point, making the right turn, then left, will lead you to the Crystal clusters.
While exploring, be prepared to move boulders blocking the way and cut through gates to access the crystals. Gathering them involves breaking open these clusters to extract the fragments.
Inside these clusters, you will find multiple formations scattered around. Punch or break these crystals to earn roughly four crystal fragments each. Continuing your exploration can lead you to additional Crystal groups nearby in the same region, so keep following the paths beyond the first chamber for more rewards.
