AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Pokemon Pokopia's upcoming DLC wave brings new monsters like Braixen and Skitty to the Switch 2 cozy game, alongside fresh character customization options and accessory items.
Nintendo and Game Freak are keeping the momentum going for Pokemon Pokopia on the Switch 2. Following the recent Bubbly Basin update, the latest Nintendo Direct showcased a stylish new preview for the second wave of DLC, arriving in late 2026. This upcoming drop leans heavily into player expression, adding a variety of accessories like bows, ties, and iconic sunglasses that let you recreate the legendary Squirtle Squad in your custom world.
Beyond fashion, the trailer confirmed several new creatures joining the cozy building experience. Players can look forward to seeing Doduo, Skitty, and Braixen wandering their islands, with the trailer teasing even more unannounced critters on the way. While the fine print notes that this specific update will not introduce a brand new explorable town, that major geographical expansion is currently slated for the third and final part of the pass in 2027.
Priced at $34.99, the comprehensive Expansion Pass also includes previously released content like the underwater Bubbly Basin zone, handy crafting materials like rare Pokemetal ingots, and recipes for dynamic Ditto block prints. As digital economies and seasonal expansion passes become standard fixtures across modern gaming, this latest drop gives dedicated builders plenty of fresh reasons to check back in and polish their virtual sanctuaries.
