The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have set December 9, 2026 as the release date for Dazzling Decorations, the second part of the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, Polygon and Video Games Chronicle reported. The official Pokémon account announced the date on November 4.
The paid DLC centers on accessories and cosmetics for Ditto and their Pokémon companions. Polygon reported items including several bows, one of them modeled on Sylveon's, and sunglasses, while VGC reported that the expansion also opens new towns to explore. New Pokémon are included as well, among them Doduo, Braixen and Skitty, though the full number has not been announced.
Before starting Dazzling Decorations, players must complete certain quests, including "Raise the environment level!", "Rebuild the Pokémon Center!" and Drifloon's "Find a doll!" request, according to Polygon. VGC reported that a free version 3.0.0 update for all players appears set to go live on the same day.
The rest of the Expansion Pass
The Expansion Pass costs $34.99 and is split into three parts. The first, Bubbly Basin, released on August 5, 2026 and added an underwater region and 52 new water-themed Pokémon, according to Polygon. The third part, which adds another town, is scheduled for 2027. Buying the pass also grants a recipe for dynamic print blocks and wallpapers, plus a code for 30 rare Pokémetal ingots.
Pokopia, a life sim, released on Nintendo Switch 2 in March. Both outlets reported that it had sold more than 5 million copies by August, and VGC said that made it the second most popular Switch 2 title behind Mario Kart World. Polygon noted that it holds an 89 score on Metacritic.
