Pokémon Pokopia has received its Version 2.0.0 update on Nintendo Switch 2, released on 4th August 2026. The update is significant because it arrives alongside "Bubbly Basin", the first instalment of the game's Expansion Pass DLC, and introduces the new move Dive along with the ability to build houses underwater, marking a major expansion of the life-sim adventure's gameplay possibilities.

Beyond the headline underwater features, the update adds new items, five new hair colours, new emotes, and additional paintable objects, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements such as bulk item transfers, batch relic appraisal, an increased power generator placement limit (from 64 to 128), and more photo display slots (from 10 to 40). Nintendo also refined several movement mechanics, including Surf, Rollout and Magnet Rise, and added motion-sickness reduction camera settings, with the full patch notes published on Nintendo's official support page.
