New Details Revealed for “Expansion Pass Part 1: Bubbly Basin”
In Part 1, players can look forward to making a splash in the new underwater town, Bubbly Basin. In this submerged space, players can grow watermelons with the help of Pokemon with the Water specialty, while Pokemon with the Generate specialty can power bubble machines or activate streetlights. Players can also discover more Pokemon, new outfits, a power-up for the move Surf, and a newly added prepared food – smoothies.
Players can traverse a hole in the sea floor to explore the deep sea shrouded in darkness and enjoy an exciting adventure alongside Pokemon by following the glowing coral.
Building reaches a new depth in Bubbly Basin with buoyant blocks, which allow players to make buildings that are only possible underwater, floating at different levels. Players can also build a Sharpedo submarine to make a room which feels like a Secret Base.
New Feature Revealed for “Expansion Pass Part 2”
Scheduled for release in late 2026, players can look forward to dressing up alongside their favorite Pokemon by wearing accessories in Part 2 of the paid downloadable content. Players will also be able to find more furniture pieces and Pokemon. More details regarding Part 2 will be revealed in the future.
Version 2.0.0 Free Software Update
Available to everyone who owns Pokemon Pokopia from August 5, players will be able to learn the move Dive from Manaphy as part of the version 2.0.0 free software update. Once learned, players will be able to swim alongside Water-type Pokemon and build underwater.

Game Overview
Check out the official game description below via The Pokemon Company.
Shape the land and build a cozy new life with Pokemon.
Play as a Ditto that has taken the appearance of a human! Find and befriend your fellow Pokemon and carve out a life for yourself by learning their moves to shape the land. Use Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make wild grass grow, keep it healthy with Squirtle’s Water Gun, and more. As nature flourishes, more Pokemon will appear for you to meet and learn from!
Build homes, farm crops, and more in a world with days, nights, and varied weather.
Collect rocks and wood to build with, till the fields to grow delicious crops, build homes for the Pokemon you meet…there’s so much to do here! No need to rush, though—go at your own pace and enjoy the journey. With a day and night cycle, varying weather, and other surprises, just taking a nap in your bed and letting time pass can be pretty relaxing.
As you make progress, you’ll eventually be able to build a nice big home of your own—and then invite Pokemon and even other players* to visit and hang out with you!
