The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass is set to launch in less than a week, and to keep fans fully informed, a concise 7‑minute trailer has already been released.

This marks a major evolution for the game, as water previously forced Ditto to despawn after a spell. The change sets the stage for the paid DLC’s core experience: a brand‑new underwater town that players can explore and restore. Expect bioluminescent coral pathways, deep‑sea trenches, and floating buoyant blocks that enable custom builds such as Sharpedo submarine bases, all available to those who purchase the expansion.

The paid DLC, titled Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass Part 1: Bubbly Basin, will be released on August 6, 2026.
