A massive 2.0 update for Pokémon Pokopia is now live, introducing deep-sea exploration, underwater housing, and a long list of gameplay enhancements and bug fixes.
The headline addition to the free update is the new Dive HM ability, allowing players to explore beneath the ocean waves, meet new Water-type Pokémon, and build homes directly within deep-sea biomes. Players can also explore new mysteries in the Bubbly Basin area and take advantage of new customization features, including five new hair colors, the Dynamic Ditto Print pattern, and fresh emotes.
Alongside world expansion, Update 2.0 introduces several long-awaited quality-of-life improvements:
-
Inventory Management: Players can now transfer items in bulk between their storage box and bag, delete unwanted items using objects like garbage bins, and prioritize materials inside neighboring storage boxes while crafting.
-
Building & Decoration: Fine-tuning controls have been added for depth placement on doors and windows. Players can also paint a wider variety of furniture—including workbenches, bikes, and Pokémon Center counters.
-
Traversal & Mechanics: The Strength ability now works underwater, Rollout can break large natural obstacles like boulders, and Surf can now be triggered directly on land using focus controls. Additionally, players can appraise up to 10 Lost Relics at once.
The patch also resolves numerous bugs, including multiplayer build locks, pathfinding glitches for Water-type Pokémon, and camera clipping issues across island biomes.
