Upcoming events

No future events have been scheduled yet.

Past Pokémon Pokopia events

Some past events may still be accessible by changing the date on your Switch. That method could stop working if the game is patched, so treat it as an option rather than a guarantee.

Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises

Dates: October 17 to November 1

Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist joined the available Pokémon during this seasonal event. Players could also collect spooky decorations featuring Pikachu, Mimikyu, and others.

Fetching Scales for Feebas

Dates: August 13 to 28

Feebas traded gifts for Prism Scales found around the player’s home. Completing the event gave players the chance to invite both Feebas and Milotic to move in.

Zorua’s Hide and Sneak Contest

Dates: July 19 to 27

Zorua hosted this event, built around finding places to hide.

Wish Upon a Jirachi

Dates: June 23 to July 8

Jirachi arrived with cosmic themed furniture, including a telescope, bedroom pieces, and wall stickers. Players earned the items by fulfilling Pokémon wishes.

Sableye event

Dates: April 29 to May 14, 2026

Sableye appeared at the Pokémon Center and exchanged items for crystal fragments. Players could also use its habitat to invite it to move in.

Bulbasaur’s Jump Rope Contest

Dates: April 19 to April 27, 2026

April Fools’ Day

Date: April 1, 2026

Players who spoke to Pokémon with a “…” sign above their heads and answered three quizzes correctly earned an inflatable Sudowoodo.

More Spores for Hoppip

Dates: March 9 to March 24, 2026

Can Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff still move in?

The event has ended, but you may be able to meet these Pokémon by using a Pokopia time skip to set your Switch date to an event day. You can then build the right Pokopia habitats to add Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff to your Pokédex.

These are the habitats associated with the cottonweed Pokémon:

Yellow carpet

• Pokémon: Hoppip, Skiploom, Jumpluff
• Requirements: Four dandy flowers

Field-trip friends

• Pokémon: Skiploom
• Requirements: One flower backpack, one lunch box, and one Hoppip water bottle

Dandelion lunchtime

• Pokémon: Jumpluff
• Requirements: One dandy flower, one flower cushion, one lunch box, and one flowery table setting

Where to find cotton spores

Hoppip’s Pokémon Center shop takes cotton spores as payment. They appear on Pokopia Dream Islands, rather than in Withered Wastelands or Rocky Ridges. Find a Drifloon to travel to an island and look for spores scattered across the area.

Press Y beside a spore to pick it up, or hold Y to inhale it along with nearby spores. Bring what you collect back to the Pokémon Center to trade for items.

How Pokopia events work

Pokopia events run for limited periods and typically pair a featured Pokémon with themed furniture or other rewards. The first event lasted several weeks, offering a model that future events may follow with different themes. Events could also return later, though no reruns are confirmed here.

When an event is active, the game displays a message the first time you load in that day, saying a Pokémon is “talk of the town” and directing you to the Pokopia Pokémon Center. Events are available only in towns where the Pokémon Center rebuild is complete; Cloud Islands aren’t included.
