To make Onix a home in Pokopia, you’ll need to create the Smooth Tall Grass habitat for the Rock/Ground-type Pokemon. This involves creating a 2×2 area of Dry Tall Grass with a Smooth Rock placed next to it to lower the humidity. It’s not exactly clear how to create Dry Tall Grass in Pokopia, so this guide will explain how to do so and where to find a Smooth Rock.

How to Find a Smooth Rock in Pokopia
Remember where you first found Onix during the quest to rebuild the Pokemon Center? In this cave system, to the northwest of the Wasteland PC, you can actually find a Smooth Rock inside one of those sparkling Poke Ball item drops.
Before you take a right to find Onix’s location, you should see the Smooth Rock sitting on a grey block on the left side of the wall. Now, with the Smooth Rock in hand, you can go back to the main area and make some Dry Tall Grass.
How to Get Dry Tall Grass in Pokopia
I was very confused about how to make Dry Tall Grass in Pokopia. It’s not something you can buy from the shop (at least at the start); it’s not something you can craft at a crafting table; and it’s not something that a Pokemon can make for you. To make Dry Tall Grass, you just need to find some dirt that hasn’t been watered yet and use the Leafage move –that’s it!
How to Make Smooth Tall Grass Habitat for Onix in Pokopia
Now that you know how to make tall dry grass, find a dry dirt spot and use Leafage to create a 2×2 square. Next, take the Smooth Stone we picked up from the Onix cave and place it anywhere next to the grass. If done correctly, the game will tell you that you’ve restored a smooth tall grass habitat.
Go back to Onix and speak to them to complete the request. You can have Onix follow you to its new habitat by pressing the up button on the directional pad. Just be sure there’s enough space in the cave system so that Onix can leave without getting stuck.
