A new limited-time event for Pokémon Pokopia, titled “Sableye’s Gem Hunt,” is now live and rolling out globally.
The event runs from 05:00 local time on April 29, 2026 through 04:59 local time on May 14, 2026, according to a Serebii.net update posted April 28.
The update confirms the window and provides players with the core mechanics: Sableye will appear in town and trade special furniture items in exchange for Red Crystal Fragments.
Event overview and schedule
Serebii.net reported that the “Sableye’s Gem Hunt” event is active worldwide and gave precise timing: it begins at 05:00 local time on April 29, 2026 and ends at 04:59 local time on May 14, 2026.
These timestamps should be used to plan play sessions and ensure you collect the event rewards before the event closes.
How the event works
During the event period, Sableye will appear in town and offer players unique furniture items.
Those items can be placed in the game world to create habitats specifically designed to befriend Sableye on a permanent basis.
Players earn these furniture rewards by trading Red Crystal Fragments to Sableye.
Collecting Red Crystal Fragments
Red Crystal Fragments are obtainable by visiting Dream Islands using Drifloon’s special ability.
Visiting Dream Islands and gathering fragments is the key loop for earning the furniture trades that lead to permanent friendship with Sableye.
System time and access notes
The event is tied to the system time on the Switch 2, so the in-game availability follows that hardware’s local clock.
That detail is relevant for players who manage multiple regional accounts or who travel across time zones during the event window.
Reporting source and player response
Serebii.net’s announcement provides the definitive schedule and mechanics for “Sableye’s Gem Hunt.” The site’s post linked the official details and confirmed the rollout as global.
Players should check Serebii and the game’s official channels for any additional guidance or clarification.
What this means for players
The event gives players a relatively short window to collect Red Crystal Fragments, acquire event-only furniture, and secure Sableye as a permanent companion.
If you’re tracking limited-time events on the Switch 2 or monitoring Pokémon Pokopia updates, this one is time-sensitive and worth prioritizing.
