Comprehensive Guide to PokePath TD's Hidden Features
Beyond the main tower defense gameplay, PokePath TD contains various hidden elements waiting to be discovered. This guide covers the key secret Pokemon and special mechanics that reward attentive players with unique unlocks and cosmetic surprises.
The Mystery of Chatot: Audio-Based Discovery
Chatot is PokePath TD's most elusive hidden Pokemon, unlocked through specific audio settings.
Chatot's Audio-Sync Ability
Chatot's Chatter ability directly ties combat effectiveness to sound effects volume:
- Full volume effects → Chatot reaches peak performance
- Medium volume effects → Moderate damage output
- Low or muted effects → Significantly reduced effectiveness
How to Obtain Chatot
To unlock Chatot, you'll need to adjust your game's audio configuration to specific values. Here's what you need to set:
- Master Volume: Turn this all the way down to 0
- Music Volume: Set to level 4
- UI Sounds: Set to level 4
- Effects Volume: Set to level 1
Once these settings are applied, Chatot will automatically join your Pokemon collection.
Other Discovery Elements
PokePath TD includes several additional hidden mechanics that add depth to the Pokemon collecting experience:
Smeargle's Cosmetic Transformation
Smeargle has a chance to temporarily change into its shiny variant while performing attacks. This visual effect doesn't affect gameplay stats but provides a nice surprise. The transformation probability can be boosted by equipping a Shiny Charm item.
Lycanroc's Time-Based Evolution
The evolution outcome for Rockruff depends on the current time of day in your local timezone:
- Daytime hours (8:00 AM to 6:00 PM): Results in the orange-colored Midday Form

Note that once Rockruff evolves, the chosen form cannot be changed.
