The charming and cosy Pokélife sim Pokémon Pokopia is out today for Nintendo Switch 2, and just like that, The Nintendo Company has announced the first limited-time in-game event.
“More Spores for Hoppip” is the first special event in Pokopia, and it will run from Monday, 9th March at 1:00 PM PDT to Tuesday 24th March 12:59 PM PDT. If these are globally synced, then that’s 8PM UK time on Monday 9th March, until 6:59AM UK time on Wednesday 25th March, but that’s the rough timing.
During the event window, three additional Pokémon will appear for you to befriend: Hoppip, the Cottonweed Pokémon, as well as Skiploom and Jumpluff.
You’ll naturally have to construct their habitats to draw them to you game world, and that will entail collecting cotton spores that will float around during this time, exchanging them for picnic-themed furniture, and then creating the habitats that this trio like.
These Pokémon are full exclusive to this event, so make sure that you take part if you’re a keen Pokédex filler, or you’ll have to cross your fingers that it will repeat next year (or that you can fudge the rules by changing the system clock Animal Crossing-style!)
Importantly, you will need to have a rebuilt Pokémon Center for this event to take place in your town, and it will not be available on Cloud Islands, which are the server-based instances for multiplayer.
