When is The Zorua Hide & Seek Event in Pokémon Pokopia? Exact Start Time & End Date
Pokémon Pokopia players have a new limited-time event arriving next week, with the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive launching the Zorua Hide & Seek event. The event, officially titled “Hide And Sneak With Zorua,” will run from July 19 to July 27, 2026, beginning on Sunday at 5 AM local time and concluding at 4:59 AM local time on July 27, giving players one week to participate in hide and seek gameplay mechanics centered around the dark-type Pokémon Zorua.
Participating players can earn in-game rewards, including a new trophy. Unlike some of Pokopia’s earlier events, this update does not introduce any newly added Pokémon for collection.
A notable change from previous Pokopia events is that players cannot circumvent the event timeline by adjusting their console’s date and time settings. While earlier events had allowed this workaround, the developer has implemented a restriction to prevent time-skipping, ensuring players experience the event within the intended schedule.
Since its release as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive earlier this year, Pokémon Pokopia has maintained an active update schedule with regular free content additions. The game’s updates have primarily consisted of timed events introducing new collectible items and Pokémon to the game. The Zorua Hide & Seek event continues this established live-service pattern, maintaining player engagement through limited-time challenges and consistent gameplay updates.
