Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass paid DLC: Keep the cozy life going with a brand-new underwater area!
Ready to dive into more content for the Pokémon™ Pokopia game? Purchasing the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass DLC* will give you access to three content drops when they release. And wouldn’t you know, the first one is making a splash…today!
Discover Bubbly Basin
Welcome to Bubbly Basin, an underwater town with new adventures to go on, additional furniture items and outfits to enjoy, and more Pokémonto meet.
While you’re taking in the watery sights and sounds, be sure to sample Bubbly Basin’s delicious watermelons, visit a new Dream Island with the Starmie doll, make smoothies, and experiment with the newly added buoyant blocks (these blocks can be used to make buildings float at different levels underwater). Oh, and there’s the small matter of a mysterious hole in the sea floor—you brave explorers out there may want to check it out!
How to access the content
To visit Bubbly Basin, you’ll need Pokémon Pokopia and the Pokémon PokopiaExpansion Pass DLC.
If you’re all set there, your next stop is Bubbly Basin’s underwater gate. You’ll need to first:
-
Learn the Dive move (a new move that’s available to all players with the free 2.0.0 update).
-
Complete the important request “Raise the environment level!” in Bleak Beach.
-
Seek out Popplio in Bleak Beach.
Oh, and if you need help raising environment levels, check out the News article we did a couple weeks ago called, “Here’s how to prepare for the new Pokémon Pokopia content, coming Aug. 5” It should help!
Purchase bonuses
One last thing: There are also a couple bonuses for buying the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass DLC!
Ditto print blocks and wallpaper recipe
This in-game recipe is sure to give some Ditto-inspired flair to your creations. The recipe can be obtained by selecting Downloadable Content in the main menu.
Rare Pokémetal ingots
You’ll also get a code by email for 30 rare Pokémetal ingots, which you can receive by choosing Get with Code/Password in the Mystery Gifts** feature of your game. Redeem the code by Aug. 31, 2027, then use it to claim your in-game reward on or before Sept. 30, 2027.
