An event celebrating Pokémon Pokopia, running from 10 to 16 March, that brings the debut of Ditto in two new costumes, one wearing a hat and one wearing a cap. The costumed Ditto disguise themselves as other Pokémon in the wild, and Lapras, Snorlax and Dragonite appear in three-star raids, some with an event-themed Special Background. Timed Research, Field Research and catch-themed Collection Challenges give encounters with event Pokémon, including costumed ones, and a free Ditto Eye Mask avatar item arrives in the in-game shop and stays after the event.
