It allows you to befriend Hoppip and collect special cotton spores, which you can then exchange for picnic-themed furniture items.<\/p>\n<p>If you create a habitat with these items, you&#8217;ll then be able to befriend Skiploom and Jumpluff! The official announcement also notes how these Pok\u00e9mon can&#8217;t be encountered outside of this event. And you can only access this event in towns with a rebuilt Pok\u00e9mon Center, and it&#8217;s not available on Cloud Islands.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, you can also get an in-game Ditto rug to decorate a house. This rug is available via the internet Mystery Gift menu until <strong>31st January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"e61c9ed498669\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e61c9ed498669\/pokemon-pokopia.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/e61c9ed498669\/pokemon-pokopia.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In some other Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia news, four waves of Switch Online icons have been announced this week.
