Pokémon Pokopia's 'More Spores for Hoppip' is a limited-time event with exclusive items and Pokémon to find.
The creatures in question are Hoppip and evolutions Skiploom and Jumpluff, and along with them, unique items and the Cotton Spores resource used to craft them.
This guide explains when 'More Spores for Hoppip' takes place, how to get Cotton Spores, and Pokémon Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff before the event ends.
'More Spores for Hoppip' dates, times, and how to start
Pokémon Pokopia's 'More Spores for Hoppip' event starts on Monday, March 9th and ends on Wednesday, 25th March at the following times:
- 8pm GMT (UK)
- 9pm CET (Western Europe)
- 4pm EDT (East Coast of Americas)
- 1pm PDT (West Coast of Americas)
To take part in 'More Spores for Hoppip', you'll need to have rebuilt a Pokémon Center, and have found Drifloon, who can take you to a Dream Island to collect the event's resources.
How 'More Spores for Hoppip' works
During the event, visit a Pokémon Center to find that it's been given a flower makeover. Speak to the Hoppip outside - adding the first of the three event-specific Pokémon to your Pokédex - to learn it needs Cotton Spores.
Visit Drifloon, and present a Doll (any will do) to visit a Dream Island. Cotton Spores will spawn in Dream Islands throughout the event. You can only visit only one unique Dream Island per day, but in my experience, a single visit will have enough Cotton Spores you need to unlock the three new habitats. (You might need to go again if you want multiple of each item type for decorating your town.)
'More Spores for Hoppip' event items
Once you have collected Cotton Spores, head to the Pokémon Center where Hoppip will trade you the resource for unique items.
The event items you can unlock in 'More Spores for Hoppip' are:
You only need 60 Cotton Spores to get enough items for one of each habitat type, which I managed to find on a single Dream Island run during the event.
How to get Skiploom and Jumpluff
Beyond the above items, the draw of the event is new Pokémon. While you'll unlock Hoppip from the jump, Skiploom and Jumpluff require specific habitats. These are:
- Hoppip: Yellow Carpet
- Skiploom: Yellow Carpet, Field-trip Friends
- Jumpluff: Yellow Carpet, Dandelion Lunchtime
The easiest way to get Skiploom and Jumpluff is to make the Field-trip Friends and Dandelion Lunchtime habitats. These will only spawn these specific Pokémon, and for me, appeared at each within a day of establishing.
'More Spores for Hoppip' habitats
The list of new habitats added to 'More Spores for Hoppip', which can help unlock the above Pokémon, require the following event items:
