Duckweed is a necessary material for some habitats in Pokemon Pokopia, but it's difficult to come across.

One of the most difficult resources to get in Pokopia is Duckweed. But don't worry, we'll tell you exactly how to get it!

If you have the ability, you need to make a Salad at the cutting board and eat it. Once you've done that, approach a body of water, go in the water, and use your Leafage ability. This will spawn Duckweed.

To harvest the Duckweed, you need to use the Cut ability.

Take note that there is no way to move Duckweed once it's placed. If you place it in the wrong area, it has to be removed and replanted. If you place four pieces of Duckweed together on a body of water, you'll be able to make the Uplifting Duckweed Habitat, which is used to attract Lotad or Luda Colo.
