The April Fools’ event in Pokémon Pokopia is a short, one-day activity that rewards you with a fun and exclusive decoration: Inflatable Sudowoodo. The event is simple, fast, and easy to complete—but you need to act quickly because it only runs for a limited time.
Here’s a complete guide to help you unlock the reward without missing anything.
What Is the April Fools Event in Pokémon Pokopia?
The April Fools event in Pokémon Pokopia is a limited-time seasonal activity that runs from April 1 (5 AM) to April 2 (5 AM local time). During this short event, the game introduces a playful twist where Pokémon pretend to be other species, turning normal interactions into a fun guessing challenge.
Your main goal is to talk to these Pokémon and correctly answer quiz-style questions based on their disguises. The event is designed to be quick and accessible, offering simple quiz-based gameplay, a one-day-only window, and an exclusive cosmetic reward. Since it focuses more on fun than difficulty, anyone can complete it without much effort.
How to Start the April Fools Event
To begin the event, you need to unlock access through the Pokémon Center system.
Follow these steps:
- Wait until after 5 AM on April 1 (local time)
- Go to your Pokémon Center
- Access the PC system
- Accept the limited-time challenge prompt
Once activated, you will start seeing speech bubbles above Pokémon across your town.
This confirms that the event is live.
How the Quiz Gameplay Works
The event uses a simple and fun guessing system where Pokémon pretend to be different species and challenge you to identify their true identity. When you interact with them, they ask a question with two answer choices, so you can make a quick decision without overthinking.
To answer correctly, focus on small visual clues and behavior patterns, and use your basic Pokémon knowledge to narrow down the options. Even if you are unsure, smart guesses usually work because the choices are limited. You only need to get a few answers right to complete the challenge, so the overall difficulty stays low and beginner-friendly.
How to Get Inflatable Sudowoodo
Once you complete the quiz challenge, claiming the reward is straightforward.
Steps to unlock the reward:
- Correctly answer at least 3 quiz questions
- You will see a challenge completion notification
- Return to the Pokémon Center PC
- Open the Challenges section
- Claim your reward
You will receive the Inflatable Sudowoodo decoration, which you can place anywhere in your town.
This matches the official event flow where completing the quiz challenge unlocks the reward directly .
Alternative Method (Fast Claim Trick)
If you don’t want to rely on quizzes, there is another method available in some versions of the event.
You can:
- Log in on April 1
