What do I use Pokémon Pokopia squishy clay for?

Pokopia squishy clay is used for making bricks, which you can then use to make more complex structures, like walls or fireplaces for your Pokopia habitats. To turn clay into bricks, you need a Pokémon with Burn, like Charmander. Hold the clay and speak to your 'mon to change one lump of clay into two bricks. It'll take a little bit of time, but you can transform as much clay as you want in a day.

You can also use squishy clay in its original form for a number of Pokopia crafting recipes, including kitchenware, bathroom furniture, roofing, and flower vases, so make sure you don't convert all your clay to bricks.
