What is confirmed for Expansion Pass Part 2?

Pokemon.com's Expansion Pass page and Nintendo's September 16 regional article confirm Part 2 is planned for late 2026 with accessories, furniture, and more Pokemon, with no new town, and Part 3 is planned for 2027 with a new town. Nintendo's official US storefront currently shows a March 31, 2027 Part 2 listing, but that conflicts with the support and product-page roadmap, so it is not treated as a confirmed date. The exact Part 2 date, recipes, rewards, patch number, and official full Pokemon roster are not confirmed yet.

Is the Expansion Pass paid DLC?

Yes. Pokemon.com's June 9, 2026 post presents it as paid DLC, while official Nintendo and Pokemon pages point to a Version 2.0.0 free Dive update arriving alongside the first content wave on August 5, 2026.

When is Bubbly Basin releasing?

Part 1: Bubbly Basin is listed for August 5, 2026 on Pokemon.com's official expansion page, Nintendo's regional preparation articles, and Nintendo's US store page.

What do you need to enter Bubbly Basin?

Pokemon.com's current Expansion Pass page says you need to finish Bleak Beach's 'Raise the environment level!' request and learn Dive from the Version 2.0.0 free update before you can go there.

Are there Expansion Pass purchase bonuses?

Yes. The official page currently advertises a dynamic Ditto print recipe and a serial-code bonus for 30 rare Pokemetal ingots. Purchase by August 31, 2027 to receive the code, and redeem that code by September 30, 2027.

Why can I claim the bonus but not enter Bubbly Basin yet?

Nintendo Support separates the currently available dynamic Ditto print recipe bonus from DLC-part access. On or after Aug. 5, check the purchased DLC, system update, game update, Ver. 2.0.0, and latest store or announcement page before treating missing Bubbly Basin access as a bug.

Pokopia Expansion Pass Guide

The Expansion Pass is the clearest current-news destination for Pokopia players. Pokemon.com's official expansion page and Nintendo's regional pages list Part 1: Bubbly Basin for August 5, 2026. Pokemon.com's current page and Nintendo's September 16 Part 2 article confirm late-2026 customization with accessories, new furniture, more Pokemon, and no new town, then Part 3 in 2027 with a new town. A Nintendo storefront DLC listing now shows dated entries that conflict with the support and product-page roadmap, so this guide keeps the official launch window conservative. Ver. 2.0.0 remains the feature update tied to Bubbly Basin and Dive, while Ver. 2.0.1 is a later bug-fix patch.

Quick answer

The official June 9, 2026 announcement confirms paid Pokopia DLC, Bubbly Basin access requirements, and purchase bonuses including a dynamic Ditto print recipe plus 30 rare Pokemetal ingots. Current official pages align on August 5, 2026 for Part 1: Bubbly Basin, while Pokemon.com's current page confirms Part 2 for late 2026 and Part 3 for 2027 with a new town. Nintendo Support plus the official Japanese site list Ver. 2.0.1 as a stability patch.

What is confirmed

Pokemon.com confirms the Expansion Pass exists, that Bubbly Basin is the first named release on August 5, 2026, that Part 2 is due late 2026, and that Part 3 is planned for 2027 with a new town. The purchase bonuses include a dynamic Ditto print recipe plus a code for 30 rare Pokemetal ingots: buy by August 31, 2027 to receive the code, then redeem the code by September 30, 2027. The same official expansion page confirms Part 2 accessories, furniture, more Pokemon, and no new town. Nintendo's regional preparation articles, store pages, and support update history align on Bubbly Basin plus Ver. 2.0.0 being available.

How Bubbly Basin unlocks

Official prep guidance says players should complete Bleak Beach's 'Raise the environment level!' mission, reach environment level 5 there, know Jump and Surf, and then learn Dive from Manaphy in the Version 2.0.0 free update before entering Bubbly Basin.

What remains provisional

Current official copy names Version 2.0.0, Dive, Bubbly Basin, underwater building, Smoothies, Surf power-up uses, Manaphy, watermelons, buoyant blocks, bubble machines, Popplio, Mudkip, and Chinchou. The September 27 source check keeps Part 2 at accessories, furniture, more Pokemon, a late-2026 window, and no new town, while Part 3 is planned for 2027 with a new town. Nintendo's September 16 regional article names sunglasses, ribbons, and bow ties. The US storefront DLC listing currently shows a March 31, 2027 Part 2 entry, but Nintendo Support and the main product page still say late 2026; treat the storefront date as an unresolved listing discrepancy, not a confirmed launch date. Official recipe IDs, Part 2 recipe or reward details, patch number, and an official full Pokemon roster are still pending.

How to check DLC access

Nintendo Support's Pokopia DLC article keeps the roadmap at Part 1 in August 2026, Part 2 in late 2026, and Part 3 in 2027. Nintendo's September 16 regional article adds the official accessory examples, while the US storefront DLC listing currently exposes a March 31, 2027 Part 2 entry that conflicts with the support and product-page wording. Its access troubleshooting page says the dynamic Ditto print recipe bonus is available now, while unreleased DLC parts should not appear until their release windows. Use the support, product, regional-news, and Pokemon expansion pages as the primary roadmap trail until Nintendo reconciles the listing.

How to use this now

Use this page as the current roadmap anchor, then branch into patch notes, evergreen guides, or archive event pages depending on the question the player actually has.

The Aug. 5 Part 1 date, Ver. 2.0.0 feature update, named Bubbly Basin examples, official help-video page, late-2026 Part 2 accessories, furniture, more Pokemon, no-new-town boundary, and 2027 Part 3 new-town roadmap are official-source-backed; Ver. 2.0.1 is sourced from Nintendo Support and the official Japanese note; Basin tables and new recipe rows are guide-backed provisional data. Nintendo's September 16 regional article supports the accessory examples, while the US storefront's March 31, 2027 Part 2 entry conflicts with current late-2026 support/product wording and is retained only as a listing discrepancy, not a confirmed date.
