Pokemon Pokopia Bubbly Basin DLC Adds 50 New Pokémon to Underwater Town

Pokemon Pokopia Bubbly Basin DLC expands Pokédex with 50 water and coastal Pokémon

Pokemon Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin DLC launched earlier this week, introducing 50 new entries to the game’s Pokédex centered on the titular underwater town.

The update brings a wide cross-generation mix of aquatic and shoreline species into the location-based roster, increasing the variety of encounters for players.

The Pokémon franchise is overseen by The Pokémon Company, with Game Freak serving as the long-time primary developer on mainline entries, and recent core-series releases have predominantly appeared on Nintendo hardware such as the Nintendo Switch.

This DLC follows the common model of post-launch content that expands in-game regions and creature lists via downloadable updates distributed through platform storefronts like the eShop.

In journalistic terms: developers released the Bubbly Basin expansion earlier this week and documented that the Bubbly Basin Pokédex contains 50 new Pokémon found within the underwater town and its surroundings.

The DLC’s focus is clearly aquatic and coastal species, with additions drawn from multiple generations of the franchise.
