Scrub was introduced as part of Pokémon Pokopia's Bubbly Basin DLC.

The Pokémon speciality helps you clean items such as the Grubby Pearl, which is required for building several structures in the Basin area.

This guide explains where to find an easy Scrub speciality Pokémon in Pokémon Pokopia.

Where To Quickly Find A Scrub Speciality Pokémon In Pokémon Pokopia

From starting the Bubbly Basin DLC, the fastest way to get access to the Scrub speciality is by befriending a Shellder.

An easy-to-make Shellder habitat from the get-go is Basin Tall Grass & Coral, which requires Seabed Tall Grass x4, Small Coral x1 and Tall Coral x1.

Create the habitat, swim away or fast travel to another area and return, and hopefully it has attracted a Shellder.

Now show Shellder the object you want to use Scrub on, set the quantity, then come back later to find it cleaned up and as good as new. For example, we turned Grubby Pearls into Shiny Pearls.
