<p><span style="float: left; font-size: 550%; font-weight: bold; line-height: 80%; color: #30a7d7; margin: 0 5px -5px 0;">I</span>t’s time to settle in and savor the slow life now that <a href="https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/"><em>Pokémon Pokopia</em></a> has launched on Nintendo Switch 2. In this life simulation game, you play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human. The world in which you begin is surprisingly desolate, but with dedication, you’ll be able to rebuild it into a charming utopia. During your adventure, you’ll collect materials and craft items to create a cozy home for yourself and make a welcoming environment for lots of Pokémon friends.</p>

<p>In addition to the game’s main story, there will also be special limited-time in-game events in <em>Pokémon Pokopia</em>. The first of these, “More Spores for Hoppip,” will run from <strong>Monday, March 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. to Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 12:59 p.m. PDT</strong>.</p>
<p>During the event period, you’ll be able to befriend the Hoppip, the Cottonweed Pokémon. Special cotton spores that can be collected will also appear during this time. Once you’ve gathered some, they can be exchanged for picnic-themed furniture items. By using these items to create habitats, you’ll be able to befriend Skiploom and Jumpluff, too.</p>
<p>These Pokémon can’t be encountered outside of this event, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to welcome these new friends to your towns. Please note that this event will only be available in towns with a rebuilt Pokémon Center, and it will not be available on Cloud Islands.</p>
