2020 The Field-Trip Friends habitat is the recommended target for Skiploom because it spawns at Common rarity there. The Yellow Carpet habitat is more versatile (it attracts all three Hoppip-line Pokemon) but Skiploom is Rare in that setup.

2828 System Clock Workaround
2929  
3030 The Hoppip event runs on the Nintendo Switch 2's internal system clock rather than a live server. Setting your console's date to any day between March 9 and March 24, 2026 will activate the event regardless of the actual calendar date. This means Skiploom is not permanently missable. See the Limited-Time Events article for caveats.

3232 Grow Specialty
3333  
3434 Skiploom's Grow specialty accelerates plant and crop growth in its area. The Grow specialty is shared with several other Pokemon including Bulbasaur, Oddish, Bellsprout, Hoppip, and Jumpluff. Stacking multiple Grow Pokemon in the same area produces compounding speed increases for nearby crops and flowers.

4246 Prioritize the Field-Trip Friends habitat for Skiploom. It is the only place where Skiploom spawns at Common rarity, making it the most reliable farming target.Buy the three habitat items (Flower Backpack, Lunch Box, Hoppip Water Bottle) early in the event. Each costs 5 Cotton Spores; total 15 Cotton Spores.Skiploom functions identically to other Grow Pokemon, so if you already have several Grow specialists, Skiploom adds incremental farming speed but is not essential for gameplay.Dry-flavored cooked food raises Skiploom's comfort level once it is in your settlement.
