Here’s everything in our Pokopia Dream Island guide:
What is a Pokopia Dream Island?
Pokopia Dream Islands are uninhabited islands separate from your main world that you can visit once a day. As well as featuring biomes and materials that you can find around the Withered Wasteland and other areas, Dream Islands are the only place where you can find Stardust, an item that’s extremely useful in online play.
How do I visit a Pokopia Dream Island?
There are two main things you need to visit a Dream Island: Drifloon and dolls. You find Drifloon fairly early on in the game, and once you’ve made a suitable home for it, the floaty friend asks you to find a doll for it. Once you do this, Drifloon offers to take you to a Dream Island using the doll.

Why should I visit Pokopia Dream Islands?
Aside from collecting the focus resources and Stardust, there are tons of reasons to visit Dream Islands. While you won’t find any wild Pokémon wandering around, you will find traces of Pokopia habitats that you haven’t discovered yet, making it easier to expand your Pokédex back home.
You can often find randomized structures on the Dream Islands, too, which present great opportunities to loot furniture and find CDs, as well as lore snippets for your human records collection. One of the coolest things to look out for on Dream Islands, though, is the chance to encounter one of several legendary Pokémon, such as Entei, Suicune, and Mewtwo.
