Pokopia events take place pretty regularly in the adorable Pokemon life game, and they all offer some great, event-exclusive items and rewards, while others even let you invite new Pokemon to move in.

The first Limited-Time event was More Spores for Hoppip, which set the predecent for future events in which you can obtain items for special event habitats, bringing new Pokemon to your town. That's not all, though, as other fun events will also take place in Pokopia, such as Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest, awarding participating players with valuable resources and items. Here, I'll tell you everything about the Pokopia event calendar and what's coming next.

What is the next Pokopia event?

The next Pokopia event is Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest, which takes place between Sunday, April 19, and Monday, April 27, 2026. The event will start and end at 5am local time, in keeping with the Pokopia daily schedule.

Following the Jump Rope Contest will be another special Pokopia event, this time featuring Sableye, the Darkness Pokemon. This event takes place between Wednesday, April 29, and Thursday, May 14, and also starts and ends at 5am.

These are the second and third Pokopia events in just eight weeks since the game's launch, setting a precedent for one Limited-Time Pokemon event every month, with other smaller events taking place in-between, and we only hope Game Freak and Omega Force keep it up!

Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest

If you've already played jump rope with Bulbasaur, you might be wondering what this is all about, as the Pokopia mini-game is available at all times. That's true, but this special event puts more of a focus on the game, with some exclusive rewards for playing during this time.

The normal rewards for playing jump rope are 3x Copper Ore for 0 to 49 jumps, 1x Honey for 50 to 99 jumps, and 1x Small Lost Relic for anything above 100. Use that as incentive and get to practicing, because these are the improved rewards during the contest:

  • 5 - 9 jumps: 5x Leppa Berries
  • 10 - 19 jumps: Star Piece
  • 20 - 29 jumps: 3x Large Lost Relics
  • 30 - 39 jumps: 3x Rainbow Feathers
  • 40 - 49 jumps: 3x Silver Feathers
  • 50+ jumps: Jump Rope Trophy decorative item

What makes these great rewards even better, is that you get all of the previous rewards, too. So, for example, if you jump 37 times, you'll get five Leppa Berries, a Star Piece, three Large Lost Relics, and three Rainbow Feathers. However, you can only earn each rewards once per day. Luckily, since this event lasts a whole week, you'll have plenty of time to earn that trophy.

Sableye Limited-Time event

The Sableye Limited-Time Event works in a similar fashion to the Spores for Hoppip event, which took place in March. During the event, Sableye will appear at any repaired Pokemon Center, and will ask you to collect Red Crystal Fragments. You can then exchange these fragments for event-exclusive items in the Pokemon Center, allowing you to create a habitat that Sableye can call home. I've gone into more detail on how this all works over at our dedicated Sableye event guide.

With just over 300 Pokemon in Pokopia so far, and over a thousand Pokemon in the universe, there's plenty of opportunity for more of these Limited-Time Events, and we can't wait to see who else is on the way. Perhaps we'll even see one tied to the launch of Gen 10 with Winds and Waves. That's a way off, though, and we hope there'll be more before then. As soon as we catch wind of one, we'll update you right here.
