Controllers for Pokémon Pokopia: What Works, Tested
Platform:Switch 2 (NS2)
Early Pokémon Pokopia is a lot of breaking rocks, chopping trees and gathering, pressing the same button over and over. Controllers with turbo or a hold function make it much easier. These are the ones I've played it with on Switch 2.

Brook X One SE2
The hold function is the highlight: turn it on and one press holds, which saves your thumb when breaking rocks and chopping trees.

Turbo and macros on the M1 / M2 back buttons are great for breaking rocks and farming materials, and the short trigger mode makes presses faster.

With the Wingman NS Lite it ran smoothly on Switch 2, and M1–M4 back-button macros are set on the controller, no PC needed.

Pressing the same button in Pokopia is tiring. Any controller tips?
Pick one with turbo or a hold function. My favorites are the X One SE2's hold function and the Bteam Specter's back-button turbo.
