About Pokémon Pokopia:

Shape the world and build a cozy new life with Pokémon!

Learn the moves of your fellow Pokémon to change the land, such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make the wild grass grow. You can also use abilities to transform and navigate the world around you, like crossing water with Lapras’s Surf.

Gather materials to create items and furniture, till the fields to grow delicious crops, build homes for the Pokémon you meet, and more—there’s so much to do!

Eventually, you’ll be able to build a nice big home of your own, then invite over Pokémon or other players via local wireless* or online**, or even visitors who don’t have the game by using GameShare***!

Get an in-game Ditto Rug as an early purchase bonus!: Purchase the Pokémon™ Pokopia game and you can get an in-game Ditto rug as an early purchase bonus. You can receive it by choosing Get via Internet from the Mystery Gift**** feature of the game and claim it by Sunday, January 31, 2027.

  • The in-game Ditto rug can be received in either the game-key card***** or digital version of the game.
