In Pokémon Pokopia, Squirtle gives Ditto access to Water Gun. Ditto can use the copied move to water plants and help restore parts of the damaged environment.
This interaction illustrates one of Pokopia’s defining mechanics: befriended Pokémon teach Ditto moves that function as practical tools. The abilities are not used primarily to defeat opponents. Instead, they help with gardening, construction, clearing obstacles, and habitat restoration.
Squirtle also has an important early-story role. Ditto finds the Pokémon suffering from dehydration and helps it recover. Afterward, Squirtle becomes part of the broader restoration effort, linking its personal rescue to the game’s environmental theme.
Water Gun is a familiar move from the Pokémon series, but Pokopia gives it a different purpose. In a traditional battle, Water Gun is a Water-type attack. In Pokopia, the same recognizable move becomes a way to hydrate plants and support a growing Pokémon settlement.
