The Pokopia habitats for Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff were all added during the More Spores for Hoppip event in March 2026. This event was the first of its kind, heralding a series of events themed around one Pokemon or family of Pokemon, allowing players to get special items and invite that Pokemon to stay by participating in the event.
If you missed the More Spores for Hoppip event, you may be wondering if you can still get the three cotton Pokemon to move in and how. Well, the first answer is yes, and this guide will answer the second. Essentially, you just need to obtain the habitat items and build the habitats as normal, but getting the items isn't as easy as usual - here's what you need to know.
Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff Pokopia habitats
These are the Pokopia habitat details for all three Pokemon in the Hoppip family:
- Hoppip habitat
- Yellow carpet: 4x Dandy Flowers
- Skiploom habitat
- Yellow carpet: 4x Dandy Flowers
- Field-Trip Friends: Flower Backpack, Lunch Box, Hoppip Water Bottle
- Jumpluff habitat
- Yellow carpet: 4x Dandy Flowers
- Dandelion Lunchtime: 1x Dandy Flowers, Lunch Box, Flower Cushion, Flowery Table Setting
As you can see, there are different habitat options for Jumpluff and Skiploom, allowing them to be found in the Yellow Carpet habitat just like Hoppip. This means that, really, all you need to get all three Pokemon is four Dandy Flowers - you can just move each Pokemon and reuse the habitat.
Whether you want to get all of the event-exclusive items or just the flowers, here's what you need to do.
How to get Hoppop habitat items
To get the Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff habitat items after the event, you can either time travel, which I'll explain below, or you can visit a friend or other player who has the event habitat items. On their island, take a picture of each item using object mode on the in-game camera. You can then 3D print the items at a Pokemon Center back home using the images you've taken. You'll also need a total of six Rare Pokemetal to print all three items.
Time-travel method
Time travel is possible in Pokopia, and, at the time of writing, isn't too risky. By time travelling to past events, you can participate fully. There is, however, a rumour that time-travel is being prevented for future events, so don't get too used to this method.
If you wish to time travel to the More Spored for Hoppip event, simply change the date on your Nintendo Switch 2 to any time between 5am on March 10 and 5am on March 25, 2026.
You'll then be able to talk to Hoppip who will be wandering around outside the Withering Wasteland Pokemon Center. Once you've spoken to them, you'll be able to interact with them on any island that had a Pokemon Center built when you started the event. Now you can carry out their request to find Cotton Spores on Pokopia Dream Islands, and purchase all the items you'll need.
