The real joy of Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2 is seeing all sorts of weird little creatures show up in your towns, but not all of them arrive in the most intuitive of fashions.
Take Hoppip, for example. This pink plant fella is in Pokopia, but at the moment only in a time-limited, event-centric way. If you want Hoppip in your Pokopia environment, there are a couple of things to know. Keep reading to find out.

How to get Hoppip in Pokémon Pokopia
The main thing to know about Hoppip and its evolutions Skiploom and Jumpluff is that they’re currently only available in Pokopia as part of the “More Spores for Hoppip” seasonal event, which is only available from now until March 25, per our friends at IGN. That means you’ve only got a few days at most to get this done.

Thankfully, there really isn’t much to get done in order for Hoppip to grace your town with its presence. All you have to do is finish work on the Pokémon Center in Withered Wasteland, the game’s opening area. This is part of the tutorial for Pokopia, so there’s a good chance anyone reading this has already done that. If not, just keep following the main story quests until it’s done.

Once you have the Pokémon Center built, simply log into Pokopia during the day before the event runs its course. When your character wakes up, you should see a notification that a Pokémon is “the talk of the town,” which means Hoppip has shown up. Go to that Pokémon Center we talked about earlier and you should find it, which kicks off the whole event. Participating in the event, which entails collecting cotton spores on Dream Islands, will net you some fun items that you can then use to create habitats to attract Skiploom and Jumpluff.
Congrats on becoming friends with Hoppip. If only we could all be so lucky.
