The first limited-time event in Pokemon Pokopia is officially live, giving players a chance to collect rare materials, unlock themed furniture, and attract three special Pokémon to their island. The event, called More Spores for Hoppip, introduces a new gameplay loop where players gather Cotton Spores from Dream Islands and exchange them for exclusive items.
Because the event only runs for a short time, players who want all rewards should start collecting spores immediately. This guide explains how to start the Hoppip event, how to collect Cotton Spores, and how to unlock Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff before the event ends.
What Is the Pokemon Pokopia Hoppip Event?
The More Spores for Hoppip event is the first major in-game event in Pokemon Pokopia. It introduces new items, materials, and Pokémon that can only be obtained during the event window.
Players collect Cotton Spores from Dream Islands and trade them at the Pokémon Center to obtain limited-time decorative items and habitat materials.
These items help attract three Pokémon species:
- Hoppip
- Skiploom
- Jumpluff
Since these Pokémon rely on event-specific habitats, players must gather spores before the event ends.
Event Duration
The Hoppip event runs for a limited time:
- Start Date: March 10, 2026
- End Date: March 25, 2026
That gives players roughly two weeks to complete all objectives and collect the available rewards.

Should You Change the System Clock?
Some players discovered that changing the system clock allows access to more Dream Island visits.
However, this method carries risks.
Changing the console clock may cause unexpected behavior in event progression or future updates. Using normal gameplay progression remains the safest approach.
Limited-time events are likely to become a major feature of Pokemon Pokopia. The Hoppip event introduces a seasonal reward structure that encourages players to explore Dream Islands, collect materials, and build themed habitats.
Because the event-exclusive furniture will not appear in the regular game rotation, players who enjoy collecting rare decorations should prioritize finishing this event before it ends. Play Now!
