11Overview22Cloud Islands are persistent online multiplayer worlds in Pokemon Pokopia. They function as blank, shared environments where up to 4 players can collaboratively build, craft, explore, and play together. Unlike Dream Islands (which are single-player resource-gathering runs), Cloud Islands are permanent worlds that persist even when the owner is offline. Other players can visit and contribute at any time, similar to shared creative servers. Cloud Islands require a Nintendo Switch Online membership and an internet connection.44How to Access66Cloud Islands are accessed through the PC at any Pokemon Center:88Interact with the PCSelect Link PlaySelect "Play on a Cloud Island"1111Three options appear:1313OptionDescriptionVisit Previously Explored IslandsAccess your history of Cloud Islands you have visited beforeSearch for New IslandsEnter an 8-digit address code to visit another player's islandCreate a New IslandGenerate a random island or use a 9-digit Magic Number1515To leave a Cloud Island, open the Pokedex menu (+ button) and press the minus button to select "Go Back Home."1616Creating a Cloud Island1818Prerequisites:2020Reach Environment Level 2 in the main game (roughly 30 minutes of playtime)Active Nintendo Switch Online membershipStable internet connection2222Creation steps:2424At the PC, select Link Play, then "Play on a Cloud Island," then "Create a new Cloud Island"Name the islandChoose the generation method: randomly generated terrain or "Generate via Magic Number" (enter a 9-digit code)Configure settings (sharing preferences, Virtual Mode, Link Code)Confirm creation2626Each player can only have one Cloud Island at a time. To create a new one, you must delete your existing island first. Once created, the system generates an 8-digit address code for sharing with others.2828Address Codes and Magic Numbers3030Cloud Islands use two different number systems:3232TypeDigitsPurposeAddress Code8 digitsThe unique identifier for a specific Cloud Island. Share this so others can visit your island.Magic Number9 digitsA terrain seed that determines the island's layout. Entering the same Magic Number always generates the same base terrain (like Minecraft world seeds). Placed buildings and items are NOT preserved.Link CodeOptionalAn additional authentication code the owner can require for entry. Can be changed at any time.3434If you note a Magic Number before deleting an island, you can recreate the same base terrain later. However, all placed items and buildings will be lost. Players share Magic Numbers online to let others recreate interesting island layouts.3535Multiplayer Sessions3737Up to 4 players can be on a single Cloud Island simultaneously. The host does not need to be online for others to join; this asynchronous play is a core feature of Cloud Islands.3939RoleDescriptionOwnerThe player who created the island. Can adjust all settings (Link Code, sharing, Virtual Mode) and kick any player.HostWhen no players are present, the next player to arrive becomes the host. The host can kick visitors but not the owner. The owner is the default host when present.VisitorStandard players with normal building and interaction capabilities but no administrative powers.4141There is no limit to the total number of different players who can visit the same Cloud Island over time. Hundreds of players could visit across different sessions, as long as they have the address code (and Link Code, if required).4242Multiplayer Activities4444Collaborative building and craftingMini-games: Jump Rope and Hide-and-Seek (requires the associated Pokemon on the Cloud Island)Group photography: decorate, pose, and change expressions for photosSharing resources and materials45+Collaborative building and craftingMini-games: Jump Rope and Hide-and-Sneak (requires the associated Pokemon on the Cloud Island)Group photography: decorate, pose, and change expressions for photosSharing resources and materials4646Transfer Rules4848Cloud Islands have their own separate inventory, Environment Level, and shop. Some things transfer between Cloud Islands and the main game, and some do not:5050Transfers to Main GameDoes NOT TransferRecipes learned on Cloud Islands (permanent)Items in your Cloud Island bagHabitats discovered (permanent)Crafted or purchased itemsLife Coins (shared currency)Trainer Rank progressDitto moves already learned in main game are availablePokemon discovered on Cloud Islands do not register in main Pokedex5252Key tip: Prioritize buying recipes from the Cloud Island shop, since recipes are the one purchase category that permanently transfers back to the main game. Items and materials stay on the Cloud Island.5353Cloud Island Shop5555Cloud Islands have their own separate shop accessible from the PC. The shop has a different catalogue from the main game shop. Availability is tied to the Cloud Island's own Environment Level (independent from the main game). Life Coins are the currency and are shared between the main game and Cloud Islands.5757Backup System5959Cloud Island backups must be saved manually. There is no automatic backup.6161RuleDetailsBackup limitOnly one backup can be saved at a time per Cloud IslandRestore limitBackups can only be restored once per dayNotesYou can add custom notes to backup data for identificationOverwritingSaving a new backup deletes the previous one (confirmation required)6363To save a backup: press the R Button to access the Cloud Island Backup menu, then select Save. To restore: same menu, select Restore. If you delete your Cloud Island without a backup, it cannot be recovered.6464Virtual Mode6666Virtual Mode is a view-only exploration feature. It requires Environment Level 3 and purchasing Mysterious Goggles from the PC Shop. When enabled, you can visit a virtual copy of a Cloud Island where your actions do not affect the real island. This is useful for touring other players' creations without the risk of accidental changes.6868Cloud Islands vs. Dream Islands7070FeatureCloud IslandsDream IslandsTypeOnline multiplayer, persistentSingle-player, daily resource runsPlayersUp to 4 simultaneouslySolo onlyPersistencePermanent (until owner deletes)Temporary (one visit per day)BuildingFull building and craftingNo building; gather resources onlyInventorySeparate from main gameResources transfer back to main gameRequiresNintendo Switch Online + internetNo online requirementEventsNo limited-time events on Cloud IslandsSome Dream Islands have event contentSpecial resourceNone exclusiveStardust (crafted into Star Pieces for multiplayer gifting)7272Official Cloud Island Codes7373The Pokemon Company periodically shares themed Cloud Islands with shareable codes through official channels and partner campaigns.

Each island is read-only or interactive depending on its owner’s settings. Visiting an official island registers it under "Previously Explored Islands" so you can return without re-entering the code.7878Update Notes8080Version 1.1.0 (June 9, 2026) fixed an issue where event messages repeated on Cloud Islands and an issue where items could be lost in multiplayer when the session host transferred. The update is required for the game to go online, so Cloud Islands access now requires Version 1.1.0 or later.8282Tips8484Buy recipes from the Cloud Island shop first. They are the only purchases that permanently transfer to your main game.Back up your Cloud Island before inviting unknown players, in case they make unwanted changes.Note your Magic Number before deleting an island. You can recreate the same terrain (but not the buildings) later.Use Link Codes to restrict access to trusted friends.Cloud Islands start completely blank with no facilities. Bring knowledge of recipes and habitats from the main game to build efficiently.Virtual Mode lets you tour impressive islands without risk of accidentally breaking anything.Life Coins are shared between Cloud Islands and the main game. Spending coins on one affects your balance on the other.The development team shared their own Cloud Island code for the community. Look for it on official Pokemon social media channels.
