Pokemon Scarlet And Violet DLC: What We Know So Far

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC is confirmed to be on the way. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet represent the ninth generation of the mainline series, and the second on the Nintendo Switch. DLC is a relatively new thing for the Pokemon franchise, with only one previous example for us to base our speculation on. Here is everything we currently know about the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC.

Much like the Expansion Pass that was available for Pokemon Sword and Shield, a two-part DLC plan is coming to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The less formally titled Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is the catch-all term for the DLC plan for the latest pair of games.

Players who purchase the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero pack get access to new clothing items, including a new Uniform Set. They will also get access to the two DLC expansions coming to the games this year.

Pokemon Scarlet And Violet DLC: The Teal Mask

The first part of the DLC is called The Teal Mask, and seems to revolve around some kind of holiday or event. The art shows the player characters in what appears like ceremonial clothing, surrounded by Japanese-style lanterns.

There are four new Pokemon involved that seem linked together based on their art, and two mysterious new characters wearing similar clothes to the players. The Pokemon in the middle of the group seems to be the focus of the expansion, as it wears a teal mask.

The Teal Mask is expected to be available in Autumn/Fall of 2023.

Pokemon Scarlet And Violet DLC: The Indigo Disk

The second part of the DLC is called The Indigo Disk, and appears to involve a facility somewhere out in the ocean. This new location is shown to include a battling arena, as well as what appear to be classrooms.

There are four trainers that appear to be battle rivals to the player, perhaps something like the elite four. The mysterious pair from the previous DLC also appear here, suggesting they will be part of the story that connects these two DLCs.

Again, there is a particular Pokemon associated with this expansion, and it has an odd appearance. It looks like a strange ghostly turtle, with blue flames for a tail and the icons of each of the Pokemon types on its shell.

The Indigo Disk is planned for launch in the Winter of 2023.
