Pokémon Pokopia is diving into new territory on August 5 with a major free update that introduces the ‘Dive’ ability, allowing players to explore and build beneath the ocean surface. This underwater expansion coincides with the launch of ‘Bubbly Basin,’ the game’s first paid DLC, which is available via the $34.99 expansion pass.
Bubbly Basin adds a brand-new region featuring submerged landscapes, fresh Pokémon encounters like Mudkip and Popplio, and unique underwater crafting mechanics. The expansion pass also includes two additional content drops scheduled for later this year and 2027.
