Sableye event — Red Crystal Fragments and Treasure-Hunting habitat
Last updated 2026-05-29
Red Crystal Fragments are event currency for Sableye—they are not the same as ordinary Crystal Fragments from Rocky Ridges. The efficient loop is Dream Island cave runs with Rock Smash until you hit a clear fragment goal.
Core farming loop
Talk to Drifloon and travel to a Dream Island, enter the cave system, and use Rock Smash on Red Crystal Clusters. Cave-heavy islands such as Clefairy Doll → Rock Peak and Arcanine Doll → Volcanic routes are commonly used because you can chain multiple rooms.
Each cluster drops about four fragments; a full clear often lands around 60–70 fragments per run.
- Confirm the Sableye event is active and your Pokémon Center is rebuilt
- Bring a Pokémon that knows Rock Smash and a Dream Island doll
- Pick a cave-heavy Dream Island route
- Clear deeper rooms—not only the entrance
- Break every Red Crystal Cluster before leaving
Fragment targets
Two practical stop points keep the grind short: 20 fragments for the Treasure-Hunting habitat trio, or 64 fragments to buy one of every shop item once.
20 fragments (habitat unlock)
- Adventure Kit — 10 fragments
- Map and Compass — 5 fragments
- Treasure — 5 fragments
64 fragments (full shop once)
- Enough for one copy of each listed shop item—usually about one strong cave run
Before you farm
Without Rock Smash you can reach crystal rooms but cannot convert the route into currency. Plan movement buffs (Rollout, Hamburger Steak, etc.) if you want faster cave clears.
Common mistakes
Leaving after the first room, entering without Rock Smash, mixing up crystal types, or farming without a target number all waste time. Buy extras before the event ends if you want duplicate furniture.
