Pokémon Pokopia Unveils Exclusive Summer Event: How to Win Rewards with Zorua

Get ready to sharpen your senses in Pokémon Pokopia! Developers have officially announced an exciting new free-to-play event scheduled to run from July 19, 2026, to July 27, 2026. This limited-time engagement offers players a unique chance to earn exclusive cosmetic rewards for their character and island structures, along with a special commemorative trophy.

The Zorua Hide-and-Seek Tournament

The core of this summer celebration is a competitive game of hide-and-seek hosted by the master of camouflage, Zorua. Participants will need to demonstrate their quick reflexes and observational skills. The event is accessible to any player who has successfully restored at least one Pokémon Center in the game. Notably, the challenge features a multiplayer mode accessible via 'Cloud Islands,' where players can compete against friends to set the fastest records.

Preparing for the Event: Mastering the 'Copy' Ability

While the tournament begins later this month, players are encouraged to prepare early by unlocking the 'Copy' ability, which allows the player to mimic the appearance of various objects—the perfect tool for a hide-and-seek enthusiast.

To unlock the 'Copy' skill:

1. Travel to the Grisemer region, located east of Terrasec.
2. Progress through local missions until the Pokémon Center is reconstructed.
3. Locate the mysterious block-shaped figure standing outside—this is Zorua in disguise.
4. Craft and present a 'Construction Kit' (requiring 1x Wood) to Zorua to receive the ability.

By securing this skill now, you will be fully prepared to hit the ground running once the event kicks off on July 19th at 5:00 AM. Whether you are playing solo or tackling the multiplayer challenges, this event promises to be a highlight of the season for all Pokémon Pokopia fans.
