If you’re looking for Shiny Pearls in Pokopia, you first need to look for something a little less shiny. Grubby Pearls are actually the item you’re after, and they then need to be cleaned up to reveal the shimmering pearl beneath the muck.
Once scrubbed clean, this pretty item can then be used as a crafting ingredient in a number of Bubbly Basin recipes, including the full set of Marine furniture and Seashell fencing. To find out exactly where to find Grubby Pearls and how to turn them into Shiny Pearls, read on.

To find out which Pokemon you already know who have this skill, you can open your Pokedex and filter by Specialty.
The process of turning Pokopia Grubby Pearls into Shiny Pearls is much the same as using Pokemon to turn logs into lumber or getting Pokopia Paper – only you’ll find that Pearls are returned to you at a ratio of 1:1.
Where to find Pokopia Grubby Pearls
The best place I’ve found to look for Grubby Pearls is in the tunnel to the left of the Bubbly Basin staircase – the opposite side to the Pokemon Center entrance. There are plenty of Grubby Pearls to be found down here, so you should have no trouble getting all the Shiny Pearls you need.
You can also collect Grubby Pearls from the Bubbly Basin Pokopia Dream Island, but you’ll need to find the Starmie Doll before you can travel there. Plus, if you’re desperate, you can buy three Grubby Pearls from the Pokemon Center shop upon raising the area environment level to 3, and some friendly Pokemon may even gift you Grubby Pearls from time to time.
