Pokémon Pokopia Blubbmeeria DLC: How to Find the Starmie Plush

A new downloadable content expansion for Pokémon Pokopia adds a flooded region called Blubbmeeria, bringing fresh Pokémon, quests, and loot—plus a hidden plush item tied directly to unlocking more island content. Here’s how to find the Starmie plush and what it enables.

Key takeaways

  • The DLC Blubbmeeria expands the game with a sunken area featuring new Pokémon, treasures, and quests.
  • A Starmie plush is hidden in a cave and is required for story progress and unlocking an additional Wonder Island.
  • You can locate the plush using the Dowsing Machine alongside a Pokémon that has the Search ability.
  • The easiest route is during a quest for Quabbel, which becomes available after raising the DLC map’s environment level to Level 3.
  • Unlocking the plush grants access to a Blubbmeeria Wonder Island where players can farm resources and may encounter the legendary Pokémon Phione—with no guaranteed spawn.

Where to find the Starmie plush in Blubbmeeria

The Starmie plush is themed around the DLC’s water focus, and it isn’t immediately visible when you enter the area. Instead, it’s treated like a hidden treasure inside a cave within Blubbmeeria.

To track it down, players are directed to use the Dowsing Machine, ideally paired with a Pokémon that knows the Search ability. While that approach can work generally, the most straightforward method is to pick it up while completing a quest involving Quabbel.

That Quabbel quest only unlocks once you increase the DLC map’s environment level to Level 3. When it’s available, you’ll want to follow Quabbel into the cave until you reach a section filled with Loren rails.

Most of the rocks in that area can’t be destroyed, so the key is patience: look for a single rock pile that you can break. Once you smash that pile, the Starmie plush is hidden behind it.

What the plush unlocks (and why Phione matters)

Like the other plush items in Pokémon Pokopia, the Starmie plush functions as city decoration. However, it also unlocks a new Wonder Island inside Blubbmeeria.

On that island, players can collect large quantities of valuable resources, including Gold, Iron Ore, Coral, Sea Grapes, and Grubby Pearls. The island also includes a chance to encounter the legendary Pokémon Phione.

Importantly, Phione’s appearance is not guaranteed—it depends on randomness. Because of that, players who want the best shot at maximizing what the DLC has to offer are encouraged to begin tracking down the Starmie plush as soon as possible.
