The Pokopia Stamp Rally is a weekly event that takes place in-game, and rewards players for logging in for up to five days out of every seven. Every day you log in, you're awarded a random stamp for your stamp card, and can collect up to five per week. At the end of the week, you exchange your stamps for Life Coins to spend at the in-game Pokemon Center shop.
In many ways, collecting these Pokemon Pokopia stamps is a little like collecting TCG cards, as there are rare shiny ones to be had if you're lucky. So you might be wondering what these stamps even mean, and if there's a way to get these special rare shinies. Well, I'm here to tell you exactly how to maximize your Pokopia stamp collection every week.
Pokopia Stamp Rally rarities
There are four different Pokemon Stamp rarities, and they appear as follows:
- Common: A plain, circular stamp
- Uncommon: A plain, star-shaped stamp
- Rare: A shiny, wavy-edged stamp
- Ultra Rare: A shiny stamp with a unique border design
As you can see from the image above, the Meowth sticker is common, while the Gyarados is uncommon. Mewtwo and Moltres are both rare stamps, while Mew is Ultra Rare.
How to get rare Pokopia Stamps
Sadly, Pokopia stamps are allocated at random. Again, it's a bit like buying a pack of TCG cards. However, there are things you can do to improve your chances of obtaining the best stamps.
The most important task that you may not know is to create and visit a Pokopia Cloud Island. Every day you visit your Cloud Island, you get an additional stamp, meaning you actually have a total of 14 chances per week of obtaining those ultra rare ones. In fact, if you really want to go the extra mile, you can delete your Cloud Island and create a new one as many times as you wish - you'll get a new stamp each time. Just don't do this if you're building there, especially with other players.
Another more obvious way of increasing your chances is simply to log in every day. If, for any reason, you can't, you can time travel on your Nintendo Switch console, but we wouldn't advise that in case it breaks your game.
How does the Pokopia Stamp Rally work?
Each day you log into Pokemon Pokopia, you'll be awarded a new stamp, either on login, or by accessing any Pokemon Center PC. The first five will fill your collection, but you can choose whether to swap subsequent stamps in or discard them.
At the end of the week, your stamp card refreshes, and last week's stamps are exchanged for Life Coins, with rarer stamps earning significantly more coins. You also only have one week to login to exchange each stamp card. You can then use Life Coins to purchase new items and new Pokopia recipes from the in-game Pokemon Center.
