Every so often, the Pokopia devs release limited-time events to keep people playing. These special events are only around for a bit, and all of them offer special items you won’t want to miss out on.
Luckily, if you do miss out on any of them, all of these events can be time-traveled to by changing your Nintendo Switch 2’s clock. But if you prefer to play the game as intended, we’ve put together a list of all the events in Pokopia and their dates so you can stay up to speed.
Here’s every event that’s either already been released in Pokopia or is planned, including their dates and a brief description of what they offer.

All events in Pokopia
So far, there have been seven limited-time events in Pokopia. More will likely be released in the future, as has been the pattern so far since the game was released, so as they are, we’ll add them here.
| Event | Dates available | Description |
|---|---|---|
| More Spores for Hoppip event | March 10 to 25, 2026 | Players can collect Cotton Spores on Dream Islands and exchange them for new furniture items from Hoppip in the Pokémon Center. Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff can then all be befriended and added to the Pokédex. |
| Copycat Challenge (April Fools’ Day) | Annually on April 1 | Complete a special PC challenge to earn an Inflatable Sudowoodo decoration. |
| Pokopia x IKEA | April 1 to May 10, 2026 | Players can visit a new Cloud Island featuring IKEA-designed homes. Special furniture sets and food items inspired by Pokémon were also sold in IKEA stores. |
| Bulbasaur’s Jump Rope Contest event | April 19 to April 27, 2026 | Players can compete in Bulbasaur’s Jump Rope game to win prizes. |
| Sableye’s Gem Hunt event | April 30 to May 10, 2026 | Similar to the Hoppip event, Sableye sells items in the Pokémon Center in exchange for a new currency called Red Crystal Fragments that can be found on Dream Islands. You can also befriend Sableye and add them to your Pokédex. |
| Wish Upon a Jirachi event | June 23 to July 8, 2026 | Players can complete requests for Pokémon in need to earn shining wish notes, which you can then exchange with Jirachi at any rebuilt Pokémon Center to claim star, sky, and space-themed rewards. You can also unlock Jirachi. |
| Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest event | July 19 to July 26, 2026 | Play Hide-and-Sneak with Zorua to win prizes. The quicker you are in this event, the better your rewards are. |
Current event in Pokopia
Currently, the Hide-and-Sneak event is live in Pokopia. This event runs from July 19 to July 26, offering players precisely one week to dive in and collect everything it offers, including the exclusive Hide-and-Sneak Trophy item.
In this event, you can chat with Zorua to initiate a game of Hide-and-Sneak at any point. Your goal is then to reach the PC near the Pokémon Center as quickly as possible. The quicker you are to reach it, the better the event prizes you earn are. You can play this game as many times as you like, even after you’ve earned all rewards.
Next Pokopia event
The next Pokopia event hasn’t been revealed yet, but it won’t release until sometime after July 26, as this is when the current event concludes. Based on the event release schedule so far, though, we likely won’t have to wait too long, as we’ve seen fresh events every month. This means we could get a new one as early as August, perhaps even a few weeks after the current event ends.
