Pokémon Pokopia is diving beneath the waves in a free update and the first of three paid DLC releases out later this year
As part of new Expansion Pass.
Well, that’s me back in. Just when I thought my time with Pokémon Pokopia might be coming to an end, Nintendo has unveiled a whole bunch of new stuff launching this August.
First up is a free update that’ll make it possible to dive beneath the waves in order to walk – and build – on the sea bed. Which would have made my Bleak Beach renovations much easier!
Explore the ocean floor with the new Dive ability, coming to #PokemonPokopia this August via a free update!
Plus, enjoy three waves of paid DLC with the Expansion Pass! Discover an underwater town and meet new Pokémon in Part 1: Bubbly Basin, arriving this August. pic.twitter.com/juX67KMW1T

That arrives this August, and will be accompanied by the first bit of paid DLC for Pokopia which introduces Bubbly Basin, a brand-new town featuring new Pokemon, outfit, and furniture.
Bubbly Basin is one of three chunks of paid DLC that’ll be available to purchasers of Pokémon Pokopia’s newly unveiled paid Expansion Pass. Nintendo hasn’t yet shared details of its other two bits, but they’re coming in late 2026 and early next year – the pass itself will be available to purchase starting today.
