Pokemon Pokopia players turn to "broken" Minecraft tactics to make gathering one of the game's rarest materials a breeze: "I mined 1,200 Pokemetal in about 90 minutes"

Pokemon Pokopia is impressing cozy game stans all over the globe with its Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Minecraft vibes – but some of the rare materials take away from the whole "cozy" aspect, as they aren't exactly easy to grind and gather.

Or, well, they used to not be. If you're in need of Pokemetal or Rare Pokemetal (I'm looking at you, Cloud Island and 3D printer frequenters), simply look to this handy new method from content creator Austin John Plays on YouTube.

First, head over to a Dream Island (ideally the Dragonite doll one, as it harbors the most of the metal). Then, go to the beach right by spawn. From there, face directly downward, use your Rock Smash ability, and dig six blocks under.
