Pokopia news and updates
Announcements and event notes are listed with their dates and supporting sources. Check the stated event period before following a time-limited guide.
Pumpkaboo's Sweet Surprises is officially announced
October 17 at 5:00 a.m. to November 1 at 4:59 a.m. local time
Pokemon.com confirms Pumpkaboo's Sweet Surprises for October 17 through November 1, 2026, and Serebii now corroborates the Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist, pumpkin collection, and exchange loop.
Players should look near rebuilt Pokemon Centers, befriend Pumpkaboo, learn Camouflage from Zorua at Bleak Beach, scare Pokemon while disguised to earn pumpkin candy, then exchange candy for spooky furniture and decorations. Serebii's event page describes the same Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist loop but calls the currency pumpkins, so keep the official pumpkin candy wording and leave reward prices, daily caps, item counts, and exact habitat furniture requirements unpublished until stronger sources appear.
Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest has ended
September 20 at 5:00 a.m. to September 28 at 4:59 a.m. local time
The official Pokopia event page and Serebii now align on the second Bulbasaur Jump Rope Contest run: September 20 at 5:00 a.m. through September 28 at 4:59 a.m. local time.
Treat the September run as officially confirmed but now archived after the September 28 cutoff. Keep April reward thresholds separate from regular Jump Rope rewards, and route players to the Bulbasaur guide for reward checks, Ver. 2.0.1 requirements, multiplayer prize rules, and score planning.
Pokemon.com posts Pokopia study and relax tracks
Posted September 25, 2026
Pokemon.com published an official Pokopia music compilation featuring daytime and nighttime tracks from Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges, Sparkling Skylands, and Palette Town.
Use this as official news freshness and ambience coverage, not as a gameplay, recipe, event, or habitat update. It does not change the archived Bulbasaur rerun, Ver. 2.0.1 patch, Bubbly Basin, Cloud Island, or Expansion Pass Part 2 guidance.
Expansion Pass Part 2 adds accessories and furniture
Revealed September 9, 2026; due late 2026
Pokemon.com's Expansion Pass page says Part 2 is planned for later this year with accessories, furniture, and more Pokemon, while Part 3 is planned for 2027 with a new town.
Use this as roadmap coverage, not as a recipe, reward, or timed-town-event update. Official copy confirms Part 2 customization, new furniture, more Pokemon, a late-2026 window, and no new town, while Part 3 is planned for 2027 with a new town. Nintendo's September 16 regional article again names sunglasses, ribbons, and bow ties. Nintendo store DLC listings currently show dated placeholders that conflict with support and product-page roadmap copy, so exact Part 2 launch date, recipes, rewards, patch number, and full roster remain pending.
Version 2.0.1 is live in official patch notes
Released September 7/8, 2026
Nintendo Support and the official Japanese Pokopia site list Ver. 2.0.1 as a bug-fix update for Ho-Oh and Lugia loops, Pokedex search, relocation or Move Kit pickup, repeated sound effects, freezes, loading-screen stalls, and an October 1 Brazil rating-settings change.
Treat Ver. 2.0.1 as a stability and regional-settings patch, not new event or recipe content. Route player advice through Nintendo Support for English steps and the official Japanese note for the regional source trail.
Chansey Plant Mystery Gift code remains active
March 31 to October 7, 2026
Serebii and Bulbapedia list the shared password P0K0P1AGARDENS for a Chansey Plant, valid through October 7, 2026 and tied to the Pokopia Gardens European pop-ups.
Use this as a Mystery Gift reminder rather than a gameplay event. Nintendo Everything gives the PC route: Get Items, Mystery Gifts, Get with Code/Password, then enter P0K0P1AGARDENS.
PokemonXP & Worlds Cloud Island is live at JW7MXKP2
Announced August 21; opened August 28, 2026
Pokemon.com now lists the PokemonXP & Worlds Cloud Island as live and gives Cloud Island address JW7MXKP2, with mysterious goggles required to visit.
Treat JW7MXKP2 as the official Cloud Island address, not as confirmation of new recipes, rewards, Pokemon spawns, or permanent mechanics. Keep player routing on Cloud Island access, mysterious goggles, Bubbly Basin, Ver. 2.0.0, and archived Feebas event checks.
Pokopia passes 5 million global units
Announced August 13, 2026
The Pokemon Company announced that global sales of Pokemon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2 surpassed 5 million units. Gematsu's August 14 recap repeats the milestone and notes the March 5 Switch 2 launch date.
Use this as market-context news, not as a gameplay change. It supports updated news-hub freshness and helps explain why Bubbly Basin, Feebas, and post-launch guide intent remain active.
Fetching Scales for Feebas is archived
August 13 to August 28, 2026
Pokemon.com announced Fetching Scales for Feebas for August 13 at 5:00 a.m. through August 28 at 4:59 a.m. local time. Feebas appears by a rebuilt Pokemon Center, asks players to collect Prism Scales, and can lead into aquatic habitat rewards for Feebas and Milotic.
Treat this as archived town-event coverage, not Bubbly Basin DLC coverage. Players checking old rewards can still use the Serebii-backed exchange table: Swim Ring costs 5 scales, while Sand Bed, Big Swim Ring, Floating Lantern, and Cooler cost 10; Beach Volleyball Set costs 15.
Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest has reached its end window
July 19 to July 27, 2026
Official pages list Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest for July 19 at 5:00 a.m. through July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time. The August 21 source check is after that end window in the automation timezone, so the site now treats Zorua as archive coverage.
Players should confirm Ver. 1.1.1, use the real-world date and time, and have access to a rebuilt Pokemon Center plus Zorua's hide-and-sneak request flow. Multiplayer works in another player's town or on Cloud Islands, but prize handling differs by host and record holder.
Wish Upon a Jirachi is now archive coverage
Ended July 8, 2026
The confirmed June 23 to July 8 event window has ended. Keep the Jirachi page for archive questions about Wish Notes, Sparkling Wish Notes, habitat setup, and starry-sky rewards, but do not frame it as the current live event.
The useful archive layer remains practical: Jirachi needed a suitable habitat before event requests, Sparkling Wish Notes were the reward currency, and multiple guide sources documented the request loop during the live window.
Pokopia's Expansion Pass is the current roadmap anchor
Announced June 9, 2026
Pokemon.com lists Part 1, Bubbly Basin, for August 5, 2026, Part 2 for late 2026, and Part 3 for 2027 with a new town. Keep access requirements, purchase-bonus deadlines, Dive, underwater building, Ver. 2.0.1 stability fixes, and later-part watch items visible.
This replaces old live-event framing on the homepage. The immediate player intent is post-launch access, Expansion Pass value, Bubbly Basin entry requirements, how to claim the dynamic Ditto print recipe and 30 rare Pokémetal ingots, and what Parts 2 and 3 have officially shown so far.
Version 2.0.0 remains the Bubbly Basin feature update
Released August 4, 2026
Nintendo Support lists Ver. 2.0.0 as available August 4, adding Dive, underwater building, portal pods, safes, new emotes, five hair colors, bulk storage movement, more paintable items, and many fixes.
For current search intent, the useful angle is operational: update before Bubbly Basin, use Ver. 2.0.0 for Dive and underwater building questions, and keep Ver. 1.1.1 only as legacy bug-fix context.
Bubbly Basin and Version 2.0.0 are live access checks
Available from August 5, 2026
Nintendo Support lists the free Ver. 2.0.0 update as available August 4, and official Expansion Pass pages list Bubbly Basin for August 5. Serebii and Nintendo Life give guide-backed checks for the 50-Pokemon Basin Pokedex, new habitats, and naturally occurring materials.
Sableye and Zorua should now be framed as archive coverage. Players checking Aug. 5 access should update to Ver. 2.0.0, clear Bleak Beach's 'Raise the environment level!' request, reach environment level 5 there, know Jump and Surf, and learn Dive from Manaphy before entering Bubbly Basin. Serebii, Bulbapedia, and Vandal now support provisional rows for six Bubbly Basin smoothies plus Popping Salad, Popping Soup, Watermelon Bread, and Explosive Hamburger Steak; official recipe IDs remain pending.
