How to start Pokemon Scarlet & Violet epilogue Mochi Mayhem
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's DLC expansion The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is getting a special epilogue to round off the game's region-hopping story, so here's how you can kick-start the new adventure.
You've completed the Treasure Hunt, you've caught Terapagos, and you've made Kieran cry multiple times - now it's time to finish off your Pokemon Scarlet & Violet adventure with a short epilogue and a new Pokemon!
How to start Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's epilogue
Before you can access Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's epilogue, you'll need to do the following things:
- Finish Scarlet & Violet's main story and post-story content
- Complete the Academy Ace Tournament (rematch all the Gym Leaders)
- Finish The Teal Mask DLC story
- Finish The Indigo Disk DLC story
Once you've completed all of these, the next step is to get your hands on a Mythical Pecha Berry. You can get this by heading to the Poke Portal, visiting the Mystery Gift menu, and selecting 'Get via Internet'.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet epilogue release time
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's epilogue story was released at 6AM PT / 9AM ET / 2PM GMT on Thursday, January 11, 2024.
This marks a change from the two DLC expansions, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk, which were unlocked in the middle of the night for Trainers in the UK (or the late evening for Trainers in the US).
Remember, you can only access this epilogue if you own The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expansion and you've finished the main story and both DLC stories.
