Besides all the main activities available in Pokémon Pokopia, such as decorating our homes or finding Pokémon by creating habitats, the Switch 2 game also lets us play fun minigames with other Pokémon. You may not even know this is possible, so in this entry in our guide, we explain how many minigames are available, how to unlock them, what each one involves, and which rewards you can earn by playing them.
The jump rope minigame is unlocked through Bulbasaur. After making some progress in the game and rebuilding the Pokémon Center in the Barren Badlands, Bulbasaur will invite you to play this minigame. From then on, you can talk to it whenever you want to play again.
The jump rope game is simple. You merely need to press the R Button at the right time to jump over Bulbasaur's vine before it hits you. After every 10 successful jumps, Bulbasaur increases the speed at which it spins the vine. Once you pass 50 jumps, its rhythm becomes erratic.
Remember that from April 19 to 27, Bulbasaur holds a special jump rope tournament. During this event, you can receive a unique trophy commemorating your achievement if you exceed 50 jumps. Whether you play the minigame on an ordinary day or during the tournament, you can obtain the following rewards by beating the listed scores:
By befriending Zorua after rebuilding the Pokémon Center in Stormy Bay, you can learn the special Camouflage transformation. This allows you to start the camouflage hide-and-seek minigame by talking to Zorua, although other Pokémon may occasionally invite you to play at random.
In this minigame, you must reach the PC terminal at the Pokémon Center without being spotted by the Pokémon. You have 3 minutes to do so and can transform into objects and mimic their appearance to remain hidden. If you are detected, you will reappear at the starting position and can keep trying. You can also play during a multiplayer session with up to 3 friends.
These are the hide-and-seek rewards:
Remember that from July 19 to 27, Zorua holds the special camouflage hide-and-seek tournament. During this event, you can attempt to finish in 150 seconds or less. If you succeed, you will receive a unique decorative trophy.
On certain random occasions, a Pokémon may invite you to play a minigame called Berry Dodge. In this game, you must guess which way a Pokémon will turn by throwing a berry to its left or right.
There is no way to know in advance which way the Pokémon will turn, so the outcome is entirely random. You can always throw 3 berries during each attempt, and you will win the game if you make more correct guesses than incorrect ones.
The reward for playing this minigame is not a physical item. Instead, it helps increase the Comfort Level of the Pokémon you play with, even if you lose.
Finally, another minigame that can occur at random is the question game. Sometimes, a Pokémon will approach you with a question or you will see it standing around with an ellipsis above its head.
Answer these questions, whether correctly or incorrectly, to increase the Pokémon's Comfort Level or receive random gifts such as materials or food.
