Pokopia Sableye Event: Red Crystals & Habitat Guide

Sableye Event

Pokémon Pokopia's second limited-time event features Sableye, a Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon with the Search specialty. The event runs from April 29 to May 13, 2026. Collect Red Crystal Fragments on Dream Islands, buy camping-themed furniture from Sableye's shop, and build the Treasure-Hunting Set habitat.

Sableye is only available during this event — don't miss it if you want to complete your Pokédex.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Talk to Sableye at the Pokémon Center

When the event starts, you'll receive a notification: "A Pokémon is the talk of the town." Head to any rebuilt Pokémon Center — Sableye is waiting outside. Talk to it to automatically befriend it and register it in your Event Pokédex.

After the conversation, Sableye moves inside the Pokémon Center and opens an event shop.

Not seeing the notification? Make sure you have a fully rebuilt Pokémon Center, and try restarting the game.

Step 2: Collect Red Crystal Fragments on Dream Islands

Red Crystal Fragments are the event currency. They're found inside caves on Dream Islands.

Give a doll to Drifloon to travel to a Dream Island

Enter the cave system on the island

Use Rock Smash to break Red Crystal Clusters (each yields ~4 fragments)

Go deeper into caves for more clusters — one trip can yield around 60–70 fragments

Best Dream Islands for farming:

Clefairy Doll → Rock Peak Dream Island (many cave clusters)

Arcanine Doll → Volcanic Dream Island (good cave routes)

Speed tip: Use the Rollout move or eat a Hamburger Steak (cooking guide) for a movement speed buff while mining.

Step 3: Buy Items from Sableye's Shop

Return to the Pokémon Center and spend your Red Crystal Fragments at Sableye's shop:

Item	Cost	Needed for Habitat
Oil Lantern	2
Jewel Wall Decoration	2 (×10 stock)
Digital Camera	5
Map and Compass	5	Yes
Camping Chair	5
Treasure	5	Yes
Sleeping Bag	10
Camping Cooking Pot	10
Adventure Kit	10	Yes
Tent Kit	10

Total to buy everything once: 64 fragments. All items have unlimited stock except Jewel Wall Decoration (limited to 10). Stock up before the event ends — these items won't be available afterward.

Step 4: Build the Treasure-Hunting Set Habitat

Place these three items in at least a 2×2 grid:

Habitat	Items Needed	Pokémon
Treasure-Hunting Set	Adventure Kit + Map and Compass + Treasure	Sableye

Minimum cost: 20 Red Crystal Fragments (10 + 5 + 5).

Tips

Missed the event? Change your Nintendo Switch 2 system clock to any date between April 29 – May 13 to access the event. No internet required

Buy extras: Stock up on furniture items before the event ends. They're great for decorating and you can build multiple habitats

3D printing alternative: You can photograph Red Crystal Clusters and 3D print fragments later at a cost of 1 Rare Pokemetal Ingot per fragment
