Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Pokopia will be playable at the 2026 Pokémon Europe International Championships (EUIC) in London this weekend.
From Friday 13 to Sunday 15 February 2026, those who attend the event at the Excel London exhibition and convention centre will be among the first in the world to try out the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.
From co-developers Game Freak and Koei Tecmo Games, Pokémon Pokopia stars a Ditto that takes on a human appearance and builds a new life with other Pokémon.
As Ditto, players can explore and learn moves from the Pokémon they befriend—such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to grow greenery, or Squirtle’s Water Gun to revive dried-up plants—expanding their capabilities and helping them create an inviting environment to attract a variety of Pokémon.
Players can collect materials, build furniture, grow vegetables, and create homes for Pokémon, allowing them to experience a cosy, slow life with Pokémon – one that they build themselves from the ground up. Over time, players can develop a town of their own and invite other players or Pokémon to visit. Pokémon Pokopia also features a day-night cycle linked to real-world time, changing weather, and in-game locations with their own unique characteristics.
Pokémon Pokopia will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 5 March 2026.
