The highly successful Pokémon Pokopia is set to release its first paid DLC, Bubbly Basin, on August 5, 2026. This new content introduces a captivating underwater zone, reminiscent of Cerulean City ruins, accessible via the new Dive move. This versatile move will also be available as a free update for all players, enabling exploration of submerged environments.
Bubbly Basin allows for innovative "three-dimensional builds" using newly added buoyant blocks, perfect for creating unique underwater towns. Players can attract water Pokémon by crafting their ideal habitats with new seafloor-suited decorative items and discovering hidden secrets, including a mysterious "deep, dark hole." A new crop, watermelon, and a resource-rich Dream Island also feature.
This expansion is exclusively available through the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, priced at $35, with no standalone purchase option. The pass grants access to all three planned major DLC releases, along with bonus recipes and 30 rare Pokémetal ingots. The total cost for the game and its DLCs amounts to approximately $105.
