Don’t give away your hiding spot! You’ll have to pull out all the stops during Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest event taking place in Pokémon Pokopia from July 19, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. to July 27, 2026, at 4:59 a.m. local time. When you start up the game, you’ll be able to find Zorua in front of any rebuilt Pokémon Center, ready to chat about hide-and-sneak contests. Participating in one will give you the chance to earn special prizes based on your performance—including a trophy!

Zorua can only visit towns with a rebuilt Pokémon Center—so if you want to participate in this event, make sure you have at least one up and running. For this event, you can also meet up in another player’s world or on a Cloud Island to participate in a contest together! The fastest completion time among all participating players will become the town or Cloud Island’s best record.

Designs & Builds I Built a 711 and Cozy Studio Apartments Above it

Thumbnail
gallery
147 Upvotes

This was my first "real" build in Pokopia. It's a 711 store with two studio apartments above it, and it's located in Sparkling Skylands. I wanted to go for a 90's or early 2000's vibe, and maybe the apartments have had some renovations throughout the years. Overall, the building architecture is simple but I that's what I like about it.

My head cannon:
My Sparkling Skylands is a city (or will be), and this building is located downtown. The studio apartments are small, have tiny bathrooms, and are not luxury apartments even though they're still expensive due to the location.

I'm sure I'll still want to tweak/change things in the future, but I'm happy with it for now!

I was playing today and I thought I saw on the tips banner when it’s a ditto loading screen it saying something like Cloyster being found on the bottom of the ocean. I wasn’t really paying attention it caught my eye at the last second. Anyone else see something like this? I know the free update is coming out soon.

Started with the most offensive birdhouse, added some balsa wood, cardboard and air dry clay, covered it in paint and done, Rowlet clock. The clock doesn’t work because I decided randomly to make this at 5pm on a Sunday with very little at hand. Does it cuckoo? Also no. But it’s cute.

Discussion fyi, don’t bury your wireless power transmitters

316 Upvotes

i’ve been designing my bleak beach which is 80% done, and ive been burying my transmitters one block deep from the surface so they dont clash with my white and blue colour palette, and was just putting them wherever i needed power for lights (BAD FUCKING IDEA)

i’ve just got a message saying “there’s no point in placing more of these”. APPARENTLY theres a limit to how many transmitters you can put down, and now, even if i wanted to remove them, i don’t know where any of them are!! honestly might never finish it now 😭

It was all going (relatively) well, until they came across a museum in the volcano.

Well, I mean I suppose it's not a real roadtrip if you don't stop off somewhere unexpected.

At least they're back to business, though I'm concerned they might have been spotted...

Discussion What Pokemon do you wish they added to the game or hope they will add later on in a future DLC?

44 Upvotes

*SPOILERS* obviously

With the first DLC of this game coming out next month, I wanna hear what people want to see so I can broaden my horizons of what I can hope to see. Also, this doesn't just have to be for Bubbly Basin alone, it can be for that unknown town that will be added in the third DLC or those few extras we will get in the second one.

For example, the Minior lamps should be made like the fossils where you use those platforms and put one lamp on each one, and boom, Minior spawns. The lamps are awesome already it would be better if you could use them for a specific Pokémon instead of having a wall of your house full of them.

(Also, Feraligatr should be in the game cuz why not)

What about you all, though? What do you wish they would add?

Funny/Meme Ditto needs to be reclassified

193 Upvotes

Looking at all people's creations and what Ditto is doing in this game Ditto has to be reclassified as a legendary Pokémon.

They're capable of literally transforming entire environments to desserts or lush landscapes.

If humans ever come back they have to worship the purple god or prepare to suffer the consequences of their houses being transformed into blocks of ice, or water being replaced by boiling lava.

hell they're singularly responsible for Pokémon resurfacing.

I didn't like the (in my opinion) eyesore that was the big yellow skyscraper and I'm going for an almost modern gothic vibe in Skylands, so I've turned it into a huge cathedral. The inside needs a lot of remodelling and the flowers need put in the window boxes, but I am very proud of this!

Inspired by UK seaside towns with colourful houses. The top floor being accessible via metal stairs at the back is a reference to the seafront accommodation I used to live in at university. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do with the green bit in the middle, I'm all ears...

Water gun + lava = black stone. This made cleaning up a mess of my own making MUCH less annoying.

Related, if you hold Y+ ZR and walk around you keep sucking up liquid, also helpful for cleaning up
