Pokopia players are warning the community after a group of griefers began visiting Cloud Islands and deliberately destroying rare structures. A clip shared by player M.K.R. shows three people arriving on a Cloud Island, setting up cannons, and launching Electrode at key builds used for legendary Pokemon encounters.

How the attacks played out

In the footage, the group brings multiple Electrode to the island and quickly assembles cannons. They fire the explosive Pokemon into a structure known as the Abandoned Power Plant. That structure is a one-time build created with a special kit and is used to summon Zapdos.

Then they hit the Altar of Fire

After damaging the power plant, the same players targeted another rare build: the Altar of Fire, which is the Moltres spawn shrine. The attackers launched Electrode into the shrine, destroying blocks and even covering parts of it with lava in an effort to make recovery difficult. The island owner eventually cut access and disbanded the server to stop further destruction.

Why this is so painful for builders

  • One-time kits: The special kits used to create these legendary shrines only work once. If the assembled structure is destroyed, you cannot simply reapply the kit to rebuild it.
  • Manual rebuilding: While it is technically possible to replace every block by hand, that is time consuming and rarely practical.
  • Autosave problem: Pokopia autosaves progress automatically and that cannot be turned off. Any damage made by griefers gets saved, making the destruction effectively permanent until someone rebuilds it manually.

Community reaction and precautions

Players comparing the attackers to a real-life Team Rocket have been sharing the clip. The short version: they arrive, cause chaos, and leave before much can be done. The island owner in this case used server controls to end the session and remove the intruders, but the builds were already hurt.

If you spend time building rare Cloud Island structures, consider these steps:

  • Limit who can join your island. Only invite trusted players during critical builds.
  • Work on rare builds in stages and avoid leaving finished shrines open to public access.
  • Record and save evidence if you want to report the players to server admins or community moderators.

The incident is a reminder that in Pokopia, creative work can be fragile. With autosave enabled and one-use kits in play, a single visit from determined griefers can erase hours of effort.
