Enrich your life by learning Pokémon moves.

Metamon learns unique techniques that each Pokémon has. They enrich their lives by using the techniques they have learned, such as increasing greenery and moistening dry foods.

Metamon (Laplace Transformation) takes you across the ocean, and Metamon (Caillou Transformation) takes you into the sky. If Metamon transforms into a Pokémon, it can also perform "Naminori" and "Kakukyu.

The more you build your town, the more new Pokémon you will encounter. The key to expanding encounters is to create habitats where Pokémon can live comfortably. By creating environments such as forests, grasslands, and bodies of water, you will be able to meet a variety of Pokémon.
