More Spores for Hoppip
Pokémon Pokopia's first limited-time event, "More Spores for Hoppip", is live from March 9 to March 24, 2026 (PDT). During this event, you can befriend three Pokémon that are only available during this event window: Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff.
Looking for timed research? Pokopia events work differently from Pokémon GO — instead of timed research tasks, you progress by collecting cotton spores and building specific habitats. Read on for the full step-by-step guide.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Talk to Hoppip at the Pokémon Center
After the event starts, head to your Pokémon Center (decorated with flowers during the event). You'll find Hoppip nearby — talk to it, and it will ask you to collect cotton spores.
Step 2: Collect Cotton Spores on Dream Islands
Cotton spores spawn exclusively on Dream Islands during the event. To visit a Dream Island, give any doll to Drifloon. Collect as many spores as you can on each visit.
Step 3: Exchange Spores for Picnic Furniture
Return to the Pokémon Center and trade your cotton spores for picnic-themed furniture items. These are the building blocks for the habitats you'll need in the next step.
Step 4: Build Habitats to Attract Skiploom & Jumpluff
Use the furniture to build specific habitats:
| Habitat | Items Needed | Pokémon |
|---|---|---|
| Field-Trip Friends | Flower Backpack, Lunch Box, Hoppip Water Bottle (2×2) | Skiploom |
| Dandelion Lunchtime | Dandy Flowers, Flower Cushion, Flowery Table Setting, Lunch Box (2×2) | Jumpluff |
| Yellow Carpet | 4× Dandy Flowers (2×2) | Hoppip, Skiploom & Jumpluff |
These three Pokémon species cannot be encountered outside this event window, making participation essential for collectors. Note that Pokémon do not evolve in Pokopia — Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff must each be befriended separately through their own habitats.
