Pokémon Pokopia Player Uncovers Code 6DXL PD6F to Recover Missed Event Pokémon

3 articles · Updated · Polygon · Aug 17

Summary

  • ArcadiaCitizen_ found that missed event Pokémon can still be obtained by visiting a developer-made dream island and photographing the habitat items tied to past events.
  • A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required: players buy Mysterious Goggles at a Pokémon Center, enter code 6DXL PD6F, then use the camera to log up to 20 items at once.
  • Those photos let players print the same habitat items at a Pokémon Center 3D printer with Pokémetal and Rare Pokémetal, causing absent event Pokémon to appear once the habitats are placed.
  • The workaround matters because Pokopia’s limited-time events since its March 2026 launch — including Hoppip’s line, Sableye, Jirachi, and the current Feebas and Milotic event — otherwise lock late or absent players out unless they change the console clock.
