Archived event: the official Sableye's Gem Hunt window ended May 14, 2026 at 4:59 a.m. local time. The reward table and calculator below are for recovery, screenshots and a possible future rerun—not live event guidance.
Evidence boundary: The Pokémon Company's event notice confirms the dates, rebuilt Pokémon Center prerequisite, Dream Island task and themed-item exchange. The exact fragment totals, item costs, placement details, 3D Printer behavior and route notes below were not independently verified against a first-party archive in this review. Treat them as community-recorded history, not instructions for a current event.

What the event is

A 16-day limited event that added Sableye to your town. During the event you could trade Red Crystal Fragments at the Pokemon Center for ten new items, including the three pieces of the Treasure-hunting Set that build Sableye's habitat. Sableye stays in your town permanently after the event closes.

If you missed the event

You cannot farm new Red Crystal Fragments now. First check whether Sableye is already resident in your town. Then photograph any missing event furniture from a friend's island and print it at home with the 3D Printer.

How Sableye originally triggered

During the event, walking outside your home showed a popup that read 'A Pokemon is the talk of the town!' Sableye then stood outside the Pokemon Center and started the trade loop.

Where Red Crystal Fragments drop

During the event, fragments dropped in Dream Island underground caves only. Use Rock Smash on a Red Crystal Cluster to break off four fragments. Rock Peak (Clefairy Doll) and Volcanic (Arcanine Doll) had the most caves.

Tick what you already bought

Habitat-trio items first (highlighted) - that's how you house Sableye.

Unverified route notes

The original archive included speed and route recommendations. They are not supported by the official event notice reviewed in July, so they should not be treated as a current setup or a confirmed historical mechanic.

All ten rewards

See the full table below. Three items (Adventure Kit, Map and Compass, Treasure) make Sableye's habitat - buy these first if you want him housed.

Do not rely on clock-change advice

The original archive made a time-travel claim that could not be verified against a first-party support source. We removed it as player guidance; do not change system time on the basis of this historical page.

After May 14

Sableye stays as a permanent resident. The reward items are gone from his shop, but you can take a photo of any item you have and reprint it on the 3D Printer back home - so even items you missed can be cloned later by a friend.

Frequently asked

Do fragments carry over to the next event?

No. Any unused fragments after May 14 are gone.

Can I get fragments on Cloud Islands (multiplayer)?

No. The event is single-player only. Cloud Islands skip event content entirely.

What if I miss buying an item before the event ends?

If a friend has the item, take a photo of it and reprint it on the 3D Printer. This works even after May 14.

Can I get more than 4 fragments per cluster?

No. Every cluster always drops exactly 4. Increase yield by visiting islands with more caves, not by trying to boost per-cluster output.

What is Sableye's habitat called?

The Treasure-hunting Set: Adventure Kit (10 fragments), Map and Compass (5), Treasure (5). Place all three in a 2x2 grid to claim the habitat.

Why isn't Sableye showing up at my Pokemon Center?

Most common reasons: (1) you have not rebuilt a Pokemon Center yet, (2) you have not unlocked Dream Islands via Drifloon, or (3) the event has not started in your local timezone.

Will the event come back?

Not confirmed. Seasonal life-sim events often rerun, but we will wait for official Pokopia news before calling a Sableye return.

Can I buy multiple of each item?

Each shop slot is one purchase per visit, but the shop refreshes when the event days roll over, so repeat trips let you stock duplicates.
