When was Bubbly Basin released as Part 1 of Pokémon Pokopia’s Expansion Pass?

Bubbly Basin was released on August 5, 2026, as Part 1 of Pokémon Pokopia’s Expansion Pass.

Bubbly Basin adds a new town for players to explore, along with additional Pokémon and furniture. It is an underwater location, and access to the area is connected with the new Dive move included in a free update.

The Expansion Pass is planned as three parts. Part 2 is scheduled for winter 2026 and adds accessories, more Pokémon, and new furniture without introducing another town. Part 3 is scheduled for 2027 and will add another town.

The August 5 date refers specifically to Part 1’s release. It should not be confused with the original game’s March 5, 2026 launch date or the later planned release windows for Parts 2 and 3.
