Next event, verified July 15: the official Pokémon announcement schedules Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest for July 19 at 5:00 a.m. through July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time. It requires a rebuilt Pokémon Center and supports another player's world or a Cloud Island. The post names special prizes, including a trophy, but does not publish a complete reward list here.
August update and expansion status, verified July 17: the Pokopia update page says Dive arrives in a free August 2026 update for base-game owners; learning Dive also requires the Bleak Beach request "Raise the environment level!" plus Jump and Surf. The Expansion Pass page says Bubbly Basin is paid DLC, also scheduled for August 2026, and requires Dive plus that request. The same page lists Part 2 for late 2026 and Part 3 for 2027; no exact dates or full later feature lists are published.
Software status: Nintendo Support lists Ver. 1.1.1, released June 18, as the latest version and says it fixes a high-item-count placement problem plus a camera-emote expression issue. This does not confirm a new event or remove every storage and placement limit.
Archive boundary: the official Sableye event post supports this archive's dates and Dream Island task. Habitat lists, route ideas and Mystery Gift notes are planning references; confirm any live event, code or final placement in-game.
Community signal: NintendoSwitch player discussion shows players asking whether Dive is free or paid; we treat that thread as context only, not as proof of release timing.

FAQ
Player questions, answered
Is Sableye's Gem Hunt still active?
No. The official event ran from April 29 through May 14, 2026 at 4:59 AM local time. Treat its rewards and route maths as archive material; use current in-game news for a new live event.
How many Red Crystal Fragments do I need in total?
The archive records 64 fragments for every Sableye shop reward. This is a past-event reference, not a current currency target.
Where do Red Crystal Fragments drop?
During Sableye's Gem Hunt, the official event post directed players to Dream Islands for fragments. Do not assume those event drops apply outside that archived event.
Which Dream Island gives the most fragments?
The fragment-route notes are community planning references from a past event, not guaranteed current drop tables. Use the Dream Island finder for routing ideas and verify the live island in-game.
Where should I look for current Pokopia event information?
Use the in-game news feed and The Pokémon Company's official Pokopia posts first. Community guides, videos and Reddit threads can surface leads, but they do not prove a live event or reward remains available.
What is the next Pokopia event?
The official Pokémon announcement lists Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest for July 19 at 5:00 a.m. through July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time. You need a rebuilt Pokémon Center; the announcement says the contest can also be played in another player's world or on a Cloud Island.
What is the next confirmed Pokopia update?
The official Pokopia site lists a free August 2026 update that adds Dive for owners of the base game. To learn Dive, you need the Bleak Beach request "Raise the environment level!" plus the Jump and Surf abilities. Bubbly Basin is also scheduled for August as paid Expansion Pass content and requires Dive plus that request. The same Expansion Pass page lists Part 2 for late 2026 and Part 3 for 2027, without exact dates or full later feature lists.
