Pokemon Pokopia launched on March 5, 2026, and players are still pulling back layers of the game's surprisingly deep world. Hundreds of Pokemon, a map that reportedly feels as expansive as Kanto itself, and now this: a quietly delightful easter egg that nobody saw coming.
Over the last few days, players have been sharing footage and screenshots of certain decorative items spawning with Ditto's face plastered where the original Pokemon's face should be. The discovery started gaining real traction over the weekend, spreading across social media as more players realized this wasn't a glitch but an actual, intentional feature baked into the game.
The two confirmed decorations so far
Right now, two specific items have been confirmed to carry this rare Ditto face variant. The first is the Chansey topiary bush, one of the decorative plants players can place around their space. When picked up and placed down repeatedly, there's a small chance that Chansey's face on the topiary gets replaced by Ditto's signature dotted eyes and tiny smile. It's subtle enough that you might not notice it the first time, but once you see it, you can't unsee it.
The second confirmed item is the Pikachu fountain, which becomes available in Pokopia's second biome. The surfing Pikachu figure that sits atop the fountain can randomly appear with Ditto's face instead. This one is harder to farm for, since the fountain requires a full build to place rather than a quick pick-up-and-put-down cycle. You'll need considerably more patience, or just a lot of luck.

According to community reports highlighted by Gaming Bible, the Pikachu Fountain and Chansey Plant are both confirmed to carry the Ditto face variant. Players speculating on social media believe more items likely carry the same hidden quirk.

Why this lands so well with the Pokopia community
The reason this discovery resonates so strongly is tied directly to what Pokopia is. Ditto is the player character, and its transformations throughout the game are already a running visual joke, those beady little eyes and that flat grin showing up on every Pokemon it becomes. The developers at Koei Tecmo and Game Freak clearly leaned into that gag hard.
Hiding it in decorations is a different kind of commitment. These aren't cutscene moments or scripted events. They're passive, random, easy to miss entirely if you're not paying close attention to your own town layout. That's the kind of detail that rewards players who actually spend time in the decorating systems rather than rushing through the main content.
As players and community members have noted, this fits a pattern of Pokopia quietly surprising people weeks after launch. The game seems designed to keep giving.
How many items actually have this?
Honestly, nobody knows yet. Two confirmed items is a starting point, not a complete list. Given how large Pokopia's decoration catalogue is, and how intentional this feature clearly is, it would be surprising if only two items carried the variant. Players are actively testing others now, picking up and replacing decorations repeatedly to see what surfaces.
The full picture will probably emerge through community effort over the coming weeks. For a detailed breakdown of everything players have found so far, the original report from TheGamer covers the confirmed discoveries in full.
What's clear is that Pokemon Pokopia has the kind of depth that keeps a community digging long after the credits roll. Keep an eye on player discoveries over the next few weeks as the full list of Ditto-face decorations almost certainly grows. Make sure to check out more:
