Reports circulating in online Discord channels and shared by an account named SoulSilverArt claim that a datamine of Pokemon Pokopia has exposed an in-game icon sheet and a list of Pokémon purportedly planned for the game’s second DLC wave.
These claims have surfaced amid broader discussions about hacking activity tied to early hardware revisions of a successor platform referred to by some community members as “Nintendo Switch 2.” The material below summarizes the reported findings, identifies the source of the claims, and separates verified context from unconfirmed information.
What the datamine allegedly shows
According to a message forwarded by SoulSilverArt that originally appeared on Discord, an in-game Pokémon icon sheet for Pokemon Pokopia includes entries for multiple species that are not currently accessible in the live game.
The reported list of Pokémon in that datamine includes:
Caterpie,Metapod,Butterfree,Doduo,Dodrio,Snubbull,Granbull,Delibird,Skitty,Delcatty,Turtwig,Grotle,Torterra,Cresselia,Petilil,Lilligant,Fennekin,Braixen,Delphox,Swirlix,Slurpuff,Milcery,Dipplin,Hydrapple
The same forwarded message is reported to claim that Dipplin and Hydrapple will be made available via in-game events prior to the second DLC wave.
Rewritten, journalistic paraphrase of notable claims
The forwarded Discord post, as relayed by SoulSilverArt, states that a recent datamine exposed additional Pokémon sprites within the game’s assets and suggests that some of those Pokémon — including Dipplin and Hydrapple — could appear through limited-time events ahead of the DLC drop.
Verified context and industry facts
- The Pokémon franchise is managed by The Pokémon Company, which coordinates releases and IP licensing for Pokémon titles. - Nintendo operates the Nintendo eShop as the digital storefront for Switch software and frequently uses Nintendo Direct presentations to announce major Pokémon releases and DLC timelines. - The original Nintendo Switch launched on March 3, 2017; Nintendo has historically issued platform and security updates in response to exploits and hacking activity.
Caveats and what to expect next
The datamine claims summarized above are unverified and originate from third-party channels rather than an official developer or publisher announcement.
Neither Nintendo nor The Pokémon Company has confirmed the assets or a release window for a second wave of DLC for Pokemon Pokopia.
For definitive information on DLC content, release dates, and official events, watch for announcements from Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, or the game’s credited developer on official channels such as Nintendo Direct posts, eShop listings, and publisher press releases.
Conclusion
Community-sourced datamines can reveal hidden assets, but they do not substitute for formal confirmation.
Readers interested in Pokemon Pokopia should treat the reported list as an unverified leak until official details are published.
