Chop

Chop is the Pokopia lumberjack specialty, carried by sharp-clawed bug and bug-adjacent Pokémon like Scyther, Scizor, Pinsir, and Heracross.

Hand a Chop Pokémon a pile of Small Logs and they'll break them down into Lumber, the single most in-demand material in the game. Almost every blueprint — from fences to large houses — consumes Lumber, so a steady supply is essential.

Stationing Chop Pokémon near a Chopping Block with a community box nearby creates a self-sustaining lumber mill you can tap whenever projects are waiting on wood.
