Events, Mystery Gifts and updates

Walkthrough

1. Special events bring visitors and requests, and can add Pokémon, habitats and objects. Serebii says their timing uses the Switch 2’s internal clock and some require a software update. Consult the event’s actual dates rather than treating an old event as permanently active.
2. As of 7 November 2026, Serebii lists Pumpkaboo’s Sweet Surprises for 17 October–1 November, already ended, and Apples to Applin for 16 November–1 December, still upcoming. Both are date-sensitive reports, not a promise of future availability.
3. Mystery Gift is a separate delivery channel. The source lists the internet-distributed Ditto Rug from 5 March 2026 through 31 January 2027 and says it can also be obtained in game later. Check the game’s current gift screen and requirements before relying on any offer.
4. Software updates can change features and fix problems. Serebii lists version 2.0.0 on 5 August 2026, including Dive and Bubbly Basin support, and says that update is required for online play. Select Software Update from the Switch Home menu if the game reports a version mismatch.
