Overview
Inflatable Sudowoodo is an event-exclusive Toy decoration in Pokemon Pokopia, earned from the annual Imitation Quiz Event (also called the Copycat Challenge) that runs every April 1. It is a balloon decoration shaped like Sudowoodo that stands upright and animates with a periodic dance, mimicking the real Pokemon's idle behavior.

How to Obtain
The Inflatable Sudowoodo is earned exclusively by completing the Imitation Quiz event. There is no shop, no craftable recipe, no Mystery Gift code, and no drop source for it outside the event. The event runs annually for 24 hours starting at 5:00 AM on April 1 (Switch 2 system clock time) and ending at 5:00 AM on April 2.
Event Steps
Have at least one rebuilt Pokemon Center before April 1.
On April 1, locate Pokemon in your settlement that are imitating other species. Visual cues include unusual poses, sparkle particles, and out-of-place locations.
Talk to an imitating Pokemon to trigger the quiz prompt. Pick the correct species from the multiple-choice menu.
Wrong answers carry no penalty. Try again until correct.
Answer 3 quizzes correctly. The Inflatable Sudowoodo is added to your inventory after the third correct answer.
System Clock Workaround
Because the event uses the Nintendo Switch 2 system clock rather than an online server, players who miss April 1 can set the console date back to April 1 to trigger the event. See the Imitation Quiz Event article for caveats about adjusting the system clock.
3D Printer Duplication
After earning at least one Inflatable Sudowoodo, photograph it and use the 3D Printer at any Pokemon Center to duplicate copies. The 3D Printer accepts the photograph as a reference for printing additional decoration copies. Note that you can only earn the original copy through the event itself; the 3D Printer cannot create a copy if you have never earned one.
Tips
Place the Inflatable Sudowoodo near a Pokemon Center entrance for a fun seasonal photo backdrop. The dance animation makes it eye-catching in Photo Mode shots.
Pokemon that like Slender, Strange, Watching, or Wobbly stuff gain comfort when this item is placed in their home, even outside the April Fools event.
Repaint the Inflatable Sudowoodo to match different settlement themes. The standard 18-color palette applies, allowing it to blend with any existing color scheme.
Print extra copies via the 3D Printer to create a row of dancing Sudowoodo, useful as decorative party scenes or in Time to Party! themed builds.
