Pokemon Pokopia has 74 trackable quests spread across four regions, the Palette Town hub, and postgame content. Most players finish the 10 Important Requests as the main spine, then circle back for side quests and town requests during the long-tail postgame. This page is the master list — every quest, every reward, and the unlock order — so you can see at a glance what is left and what to prioritize.
If you want a deeper walkthrough of just the main spine, our Important Requests walkthrough covers each step in detail. For the postgame layer specifically, see the postgame guide.
How Pokopia’s Quest System Works
Pokopia categorizes missions into four buckets, each with different rules:
- Important Requests — 10 main story missions, tied to region progression and Pokemon Center rebuilds. Linear order.
- Side Quests — 32 optional missions from named NPCs across regions. Can be done in any order once prerequisites unlock.
- Town Requests — 18 daily/weekly tasks from Palette Town residents. Repeating system with rotating rewards.
- Postgame Quests — 14 missions that unlock after credits roll. Simultaneous availability.
The Adventure Log tracks all four categories. Quests in progress show a yellow marker; completed ones show a green checkmark. If you cannot find a quest you remember accepting, check the “Stalled” tab — quests with unmet prerequisites move there until conditions are met.

Pair the Adventure Log with this list and the missables checklist for the full picture.
