Quick Links
The Picnic gameplay mechanic in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is more or less an improvement of the Camping feature inSword/Shield. During this, the player character can interact with the Pokemon in their party. Picnicking is useful for healing Pokemon, getting Meal Effects from sandwich-making, and increasing Friendship. There are various stores in Paldea, but only one chain sells picnic supplies.
InScarlet/Violet, players won’t be able to customize their dorm room, but they can customize their picnic tablecloth, water bottle, ball, and cup for some originality. Decorating won’t influence Meal Effects, or anything of the sort. However, if players have extra poke dollars, they can visit Picnic-Knacks and buy accessories to spice up their picnic set.

Where to Find Picnic-Knacks
The more decorations that players obtain, the more choices they’ll have. Picnic decorations can be bought from Picnic-Knacks, except for the Slowpoke Cup, which is gained via a sidequest. Water bottles are usually more expensive than tablecloths or cups. Most picnic decorations form a “set,” such as the Polka-Dot tablecloth, Polka-Dot cup, and Polka-Dot bottle. However, players can mix and match whatever they want.
There arethree Picnic-Knacks in all of Paldea. They’re found inMesagoza,Levincia, andCascarrafa. If players are having a hard time finding the stores, they can open the map withY-buttonand zoom in withZR(refer to the images below for the exact locations).
