Pokémon Pokopia version 2.0 went live today, introducing the Dive ability that lets players explore underwater biomes and build houses beneath the surface [1, 2, 3]. The update expands gameplay with free underwater movement and the ability to access the new Bubbly Basin expansion DLC after learning Dive and raising the environment level in Bleak Beach [1, 2].
Customization options grew with five new hair colors: orange, light pink, yellow-green, blue-green, and brown, along with fresh emotes and a dynamic Ditto print pattern [1, 2]. Quality of life improvements let players move items in bulk between storage and bags, delete items placed inside objects like garbage bins, and fine-tune the depth placement of windows and doors for building [1, 2].
Gameplay changes include appraising Lost Relics by batches of 10, allowing faster management, and enhanced move functions such as Rollout destroying certain environment items and Strength being usable underwater [1, 2]. Pokémon now react less sensitively to furniture movement in habitats, enabling players to rebuild nearby residences with less disruption to their Pokémon [3].
New items added include the portal pod and safe, while settings improvements offer options to hide confirmation messages and reduce motion sickness [2]. The Bubbly Basin expansion pass is priced at $35 and is accessible after players learn Dive through the update [3].
The update rolls out globally today, giving players immediate free access to underwater content and Bubbly Basin following the installation [1, 2, 3].
