Nintendo announced that there will occasionally be special Pokemon Pokopia events that grant access to additional Pokemon and items, and the first involves Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff. It will be called More Spores for Hoppip, and it lasts for two weeks. Everything starts on March 9, 2026, giving us the weekend to get established in the new game before trying to help these characters.

The way it sounds, it seems like we’ll first need to make a habitat for Hoppip and befriend it before finding Skiploom and Jumpluff in Pokemon Pokopia. The announcement noted you’ll need to have a Pokemon Center ready to take part, which means Withered Wasteland might be the best place to find and encounter Hoppip to get started. If you do spend time with it, you’ll get cotton spore materials to trade for new furniture for additional habitats. You get two weeks to get all the exclusive items and characters before they’re gone, and if you do they’ll remain after the event ends.

This is one of two limited time events happening right at lunch. The other is an early purchase bonus that nets you a Ditto rug to use in-game. That’s a “Get via Internet” Mystery Gift you can claim from a Pokemon Center PC. It’s available until January 31, 2027.

Pokemon Pokopia is available for the Nintendo Switch, and the Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff event runs March 9-24, 2026.
