Pokémon Pokopia is all about making new friends, and the Sableye’s Gem Hunt event brings a new Pokémon pal to your town. From April 29, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. to May 14, 2026, at 4:59 a.m. local time, Sableye will appear near rebuilt Pokémon Centers, and you can befriend it to receive a request to collect red crystal fragments, which you can find on Dream Islands.
To summon Drifloon to take you to a Dream Island, interact with any doll. While on the Dream Island, collect as many red crystal fragments as you can find. When you return home, bring those fragments to Sableye at the Pokémon Center to exchange them for themed items, including furniture, building kits, and more. After the event is over, Sableye will stick around town with your other Pokémon friends.
Don’t forget that Sableye will only visit towns with a rebuilt Pokémon Center, so if you want to participate in this event, get those Pokémon Centers up and running.
