During the Bubble Basin storyline, flat Pokemon Stunfisk will ask you to find a special rug for them, presumably to decorate their home. All they’ll tell you is that the rug design features lots of underwater Pokemon, and that it can be found in house in the Bubbly Basin town.
This doesn’t give us much to go on, so if you’re struggling to complete this request, I’ve already found the Ocean Pals rug and can tell you exactly where to do the same. So, read on for the exact location of the Pokopia Ocean Pals rug – and a bonus rug to boot.
Pokopia Ocean Pals rug location
The Pokopia Ocean Pals rug is found in a Pokeball, itself found inside a very dilapidated and well-hidden house in the very northwest corner of Bubbly Basin, just behind the play area.
This particular house is hard to find as it’s hidden on its own in a cave, seemingly having been buried in all the Pokopia chaos. There are two easy ways to find it:
- Head over the bridge to the play area, and the house can just be seen through some cracks in the cliffs to the left of the slide, behind some Star-Speckled Rocks.
- Head above water when you reach the play area, where you’ll find half of the house above ground. Drop down to find the other, sunken, half.
Once you find the house, it’s pretty easy to find the Ocean Pals Rug, as it’s inside the only Pokeball in the home. With the rug in your inventory, head back to Stunfisk and give it to them to complete your request.

There is another lovely fish-friendly rug found in the town as well, the Swampert Squad rug. If you’re trying to give this rug to Stunfisk and it’s not working, that’s because you’ve got the wrong one – though it’s an easy mistake to make.
Alternatively, if you haven’t yet found this blue Pokemon-themed rug, it’s in the Pokeball just to the right of the bridge before you cross over from the main Bubbly Basin area. Be careful not to lose it, though, because while no Pokemon has asked for it yet, there’s no saying someone won’t in the future!
