Before jumping into the final part of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, lots of players are wondering how long it takes to beat The Indigo Disk. Although there's lots to do at Blueberry Academy, many trainers simply want to know how quickly through the story and get to the post-game content

So, let's get into how many hours you'll need to finish The Indigo Disk.

How long to beat The Indigo Disk DLC in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The Indigo Disk will take seven hours to beat at the least, but that's only if you blast through the story with as little exploration, catching Pokemon, and taking part in side activities as possible.

If you're like most Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players who like to have a least a bit of a wander and collect-a-thon whilst playing the story, your time to beat The Indigo Disk will be more like our first playthrough - taking around eight to ten hours

For the completionists out there though, who want to complete the whole of The Indigo Disk's Blueberry Pokedex - including the additional time needed for unlocking all of the new starter Pokemon - the DLC will take you anywhere between 17 and 20 hours; if you're able to earn BP fast so you can complete some of the necessary quests quicker, you'll find yourself on the lower end of that scale.

For more of what's in the game's DLC, have a look at the new clothes & hairstyles in The Indigo Disk or if the Legendaries are Shiny-locked. Otherwise, check out our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet guides homepage for even more essentials right here at GGRecon.
