Where to find mossy boulder in Pokémon Pokopia
Image: Koei Tecmo, Game Freak/Nintendo, The Pokémon CompanyYou need to find Graveler in Pokémon Pokopia to complete a request made by Machoke in Rocky Ridge. The beefy fighting-type Pokémon asks Ditto to find its workout pal and, as with all the other Pokémon in this game, Graveler will only appear in a specific habitat which you must put together. Going through the work of completing Machoke's request not only helps the two buddies meet but also unlocks a new ability for Ditto.
To check this request off your list of current missions, you need to learn where to find Graveler in Pokémon Pokopia and how to make a mossy boulder habitat.
Where to find Graveler in Pokémon Pokopia
Graveler only appears in the mossy boulder habitat. To build one, you need four moss and one mossy boulder. You can create the moss blocks you need by using salad-powered Leafage on mossy soil or rock-based tiles, but as far as we know, you can't turn boulders into mossy boulders. The easiest mossy boulders to find are in the hot springs area in Rocky Ridge. Considering Machoke gives you the request to find Graveler in this region, the hot springs are the closest place to complete the quest.

Go down the stairs to find the hot springs to your right. The mossy boulders are located in this area. If there isn't a mossy boulder already positioned near some moss, you can use Strength (hold down A) to move it and place mossy soil around it. You don't need to place the four moss and one mossy boulder near the hot spring for the habitat to be completed.

Once it appears, Ditto learns the Rollout ability, which lets you roll as well as destroy blocks quickly.
