Pokemon Pokopia: Bulbasaur's jump rope contest and future updates

Pokemon Pokopia, the newest entry in the popular Pokemon series, has announced its third special event, titled Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest. This new activity gives players the chance to collect unique rewards during a one-week event from April 19 to 26, 2026. Since launch, Pokemon Pokopia has quickly become a huge success and is even the highest-rated Pokemon game ever made, with more than 2 million copies sold in its first four days.

Event details

The Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest event will begin on April 19 at 5:00 a.m. local time and end on April 26 at 4:59 a.m. local time. During the event, players can meet Bulbasaur outside the Pokemon Center and take part in a jump rope minigame. The goal is simple: jump over Bulbasaur's vines as if you were skipping rope. As players progress, Bulbasaur will increase the speed, making the challenge tougher.

Rewards and rules

Players can win a variety of prizes by jumping successfully, including Leppa Berries, Honey, Star Pieces, and special trophies. Every ten jumps will grant additional rewards, and reaching 51 consecutive jumps will unlock a special Jump Rope Trophy. It is also possible to play the jump rope minigame with friends, but note that only the host receives the rewards, while anyone who gets the most jumps in a multiplayer match still has to accept defeat.

Previous events

The lead-up to the Bulbasaur event was preceded by several other events. Recently, on April 1, 2026, Pokemon Pokopia introduced an April Fools' event, the Copycat Challenge, where players could earn an Inflatable Sudowoodo by answering questions from several Pokemon correctly. This event was active for only 24 hours, and players around the world eagerly took advantage of the chance to claim the free item.

Future updates

With its fresh approach and popular gameplay, Pokemon Pokopia seems set to leave a lasting impact. The development team already has plans for more events in the near future to keep the community engaged. In early May, for example, players will get the chance to meet Sableye and collect unique rewards. The recent update to version 1.0.2 has already improved several gameplay elements.

Since the game's launch on March 5, 2026, Pokemon Pokopia continues to surprise players with a variety of events and updates. With its innovative gameplay and rich, interactive world, this game has raised the bar for future additions to the franchise.
