The Pokémon Company has officially announced the Sableye's Gem Hunt event for Pokémon Pokopia, confirming exact dates and in-game rewards for players.
The limited-time event runs from April 29 at 5:00 AM until May 14 at 4:59 AM local time, and centers on Sableye — the Dark/Ghost-type Pokémon noted for its affinity for sparkling stones.
Event overview and mechanics
The Sableye's Gem Hunt places Sableye at completed Pokémon Centers where it will request assistance collecting a special currency: Red Crystal Fragments.
Players can obtain these fragments on a Dream Island with the assistance of Drifloon.
Returning the collected Red Crystal Fragments to a Pokémon Center will net exclusive items and building kits specific to the event.
The announcement from The Pokémon Company makes clear that encountering and befriending Sableye in Pokopia is an event highlight in its own right.

Context within the Pokémon ecosystem
While Pokémon titles frequently release updates and events across Nintendo platforms — and many entries appear on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo eShop — this announcement specifically concerns in-game content for Pokémon Pokopia as distributed by The Pokémon Company.
Media outlets including Nintendo Life have reported on the event and shared the official schedule.
The Sableye encounter represents a new collectible-focused activity within Pokopia's existing systems.
Notes for players

Some players who alter in-game time settings have accessed the event early, but the confirmed official window remains April 29 to May 14 local time.
For the most reliable information and future updates, players should refer to The Pokémon Company’s official channels.
This event joins a roster of seasonal and limited-time activities The Pokémon Company runs to engage players, offering time-limited rewards and collectible goals tied to franchise creatures such as Sableye and companions like Drifloon.
