Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC is now available

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet will receive two expansions this year, called “Teal Mask” and “Indigo Disk.” Here’s everything you need to know about DLC!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet‘s The Teal Mask DLC is now available, and Nintendo has celebrated with an all-new trailer recapping the events of the base game, while also offering information on the Expansion Pass. As was the case for Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s DLC, the Expansion Pass for Scarlet and Violet is broken into two halves: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. Both parts will give players new areas of the world to explore, starting with Kitakami in The Teal Mask, and then the Blueberry Academy in The Indigo Disk.

The DLC’s New Pokemon

Before The Teal Mask‘s release, The Pokemon Company has revealed several new Pokemon that players will be able to obtain. These include Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti, who are known collectively as the Loyal Three. The DLC will primarily revolve around Ogerpon. In Kitakami, players can also discover Dipplin, a new evolution of Applin, and Poltchageist a Pokemon fairly similar to Sinistea. There may be others for players to discover, as well!

While the first half of the DLC puts a major focus on Ogerpon, The Indigo Disk‘s narrative seems to revolve around the new Pokemon Terapagos. A new evolution for Duraludon will appear, named Archaludon. In The Indigo Disk, players can expect to see new Paradox versions of several Legendary Pokemon. Raging Bolt, a Paradox take on Raikou, will make its debut, joining Walking Wake, a Pokemon introduced earlier this year based on Suicune. The existence of these two Paradox Pokemon has already led to a lot of speculation about a Paradox version of Entei, though a design and name have not been unveiled just yet. Those Paradox Pokemon will appear in Pokemon Scarlet, while Paradox versions of the Swords of Justice will seemingly appear in Pokemon Violet. Iron Leaves, a Paradox version of Virizion, was already made available earlier this year, at the same time as Walking Wake. Iron Crown is a Paradox version of Cobalion, leaving Terrakion unaccounted for, just like Entei.
