        ## Sableye Event Dates

        The event runs from **April 29** until **May 14** (with the in-game schedule typically ending at the final reset on May 13, 4:59 AM). During this window, Sableye appears as the featured event Pokemon.

        ## How to Start the Sableye Event

        Go to the **Pokemon Center** in a town where the center has already been rebuilt. Speak with Sableye standing in front of the entrance to activate the event. After that first conversation, Sableye moves inside and opens the event exchange shop.

        ## Main Event Mechanics

        ### 1) Collect Red Crystal Fragments

        Break Red Crystal Clusters found in cave sections of **Dream Islands**. These clusters drop Red Crystal Fragments, the event currency. If you want faster farming routes, use dolls that tend to generate cave-heavy islands, especially the Clefairy Doll and Arcanine Doll paths.

        ### 2) Trade for Exclusive Camp Items

        Bring your fragments to the Pokemon Center and exchange them for limited camping-themed decorations and utility pieces. Stock is effectively unlimited during the event period, so you can keep farming to build multiple layouts.

        ### 3) Befriend Sableye

        Sableye is only obtainable through this event period. Talking to Sableye starts the relationship flow immediately, and the event shop items also let you assemble the themed habitat pieces used for its setup.

        ## Sableye Habitat: Treasure-Hunting Set

        To complete Sableye's habitat theme, place the key event decorations in a compact layout (at least 2x2). The core set revolves around **Adventure Kit**, **Map and Compass**, and **Treasure**-style props from the event shop.

        ## Important Event Rules

        The event appears only in towns with a completed Pokemon Center. It does **not** run on **Cloud Islands**, so event NPCs and event item exchanges are unavailable there.

        ## Quick Farming Tips Before It Ends

        Prioritize Dream Island cave runs, keep a route loop ready, and spend fragments regularly so you do not forget purchases before the event expires. If you are still rebuilding centers in new areas, finish those projects early to unlock more places where the event can spawn.
