Press the Minus button to open the camera, and then press Y to swap to reference mode. Bring the shot to any rebuilt Pok\u00e9mon Center, interact with the printer inside, and exchange <strong>five rare Pok\u00e9metal to make a copy<\/strong>. You can do this as many times as you want, so long as you have enough rare Pok\u00e9metal.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-use-portal-pods-in-pok-eacute-mon-pokopia\">\n                        How to use portal pods in Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>Portal pods let you access anything you put in them by interacting with another portal pod, regardless of where you place the pod. For example, if you stuff all your building materials in a portal pod that you leave in Withered Wasteland, then take another one with you to Bleak Beach, the pod you set down in Bleak Beach will contain all the items from the pod in Withered Wasteland. And the reverse is true too: Any item you put in the Bleak Beach pod will show up in the Wasteland pod.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re starting a build project, it&#8217;s worth taking some prep time beforehand to gather all the materials you think you might need and put them in a portal pod. That way, you&#8217;re only using a single inventory slot and still have everything for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the other chests in the game, you can place a portal pod down next to a crafting bench and the bench will automatically pull materials from it, which is super handy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-pokopia-how-to-get-universal-storage-crafting-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia&#8216;s portal pod is the game&#8217;s version of universal storage, though getting one takes a bit of work.
