Part 2 Centers on 'Decorating'… No New Town

The official Pokémon website (pokemon.com) announced on November 4 that Part 2 of the paid downloadable content 'Expansion Pass' for the Nintendo Switch 2 life simulation game 'Pokémon Pokopia', titled "Dazzling Decorations", will be released on December 9. On the same day, the Pokémon Asia press release site also announced the Part 2 release date as Wednesday, December 9. The main game was released on March 5 this year.

The centerpiece of Part 2 is accessories. According to the official announcement, players can dress Ditto and neighboring Pokémon in various accessories. The Asia press release cited matching items such as sunglasses, bow ties, and ribbons modeled after Sylveon. Furniture and Pokémon will also be added, but unlike Part 1, there is no new town. The specific names of the added Pokémon were not mentioned in the announcement.

Access Requirements and Expansion Pass Structure

Part 2 can only be played by players who purchased the Expansion Pass. Players must first install the free update ver.3.0.0, and complete the requests "Raise the environment level!" and "Rebuild the Pokémon Center!" in the Withered Wasteland area, as well as Drifloon's request "Find a doll!". The Asia press release stated that existing save data can be continued seamlessly.

Participation requires ver.2.0.1 or higher, and according to the Asia press release, the event does not occur on Cloud Islands or Bubbly Basin.
