Version 2.0.0 of Pokémon Pokopia launched on 4–5 August 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, adding the free Dive move, underwater building tools, and a suite of QoL features. The mythical Water Pokémon Manaphy teaches Dive, which allows the protagonist, a Ditto, to move freely underwater. To unlock Dive, players must reach Bleak Beach level 5, speak with Professor Tangrowth, and feed Manaphy five seaweed. The first paid segment of the three-part Expansion Pass, Fondare Bolleblub (also called Cuenca Coralina or Bubbly Basin), released worldwide on 5 August 2026. It introduces an underwater neighbourhood populated by 50 new Pokémon—including Shellder, Horsea, Staryu, Totodile, Popplio, Mareanie, and Wiglett—and marine-themed furniture. The area features decaying oriental-style buildings, lost temples, and crumbling ruins. Players can assist Professor Tangrowth in rebuilding the Bubbly Basin Pokémon Center and use a Blender to create smoothies to power up the Surf move. On 10 September 2026, The Pokémon Company revealed details for Part 2 of the Expansion Pass, scheduled for a winter 2026 release. This update will introduce new Pokémon such as Doduo, Skitty, and Braixen, along with new town furniture and accessories for Ditto and other Pokémon, including sunglasses, bowties, and a ‘Sylveon-styled ribbon’. Part 3 is expected in 2027. As of mid-September 2026, the game has surpassed 5 million copies sold worldwide. The franchise has also expanded its multimedia presence through a crossover between Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Horizons anime, featuring Professor Willow in a scheduled 18 September episode. In Italy, players have used customization tools to recreate landmarks like the Colosseum, the Rialto Bridge, and most recently, the Monza National Circuit. On 8 September 2026, version 2.0.1 was released to address technical issues, including bugs with Ho-Oh and Lugia, Pokédex visibility, and sound effects.
