Pokémon Pokopia Player Discovers Trick to Get Missing Event Pokémon
Polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Since its release in March 2026, Pokémon Pokopia has hosted various in-game events introducing new Pokémon, but missing these events means players cannot normally recruit those Pokémon later.
- While "time traveling" by changing the Nintendo Switch 2's date can allow players to access past events, it is considered cheating and outside the game's intended mechanics.
- A Reddit user, ArcadiaCitizen_, discovered a legitimate method for obtaining missed event Pokémon by using a Nintendo Switch Online membership to visit a developer-created dream island containing all items and Pokémon.
- Players can buy Mysterious Goggles at any Pokémon Center to visit this dream island by entering the code 6DXL PD6F, take photos of habitat items, and then use the 3D printer to create those habitats and recruit the Pokémon.
- This method requires sufficient in-game currency (Pokémetal) but allows players to legitimately obtain previously unavailable Pokémon without cheating or time traveling.
