Overview
- Version 2.0.0 released on December 9, 2025, with Nintendo’s patch notes confirming the additional story content is now available.
- The add‑on is delivered as an in‑game update rather than a separate eShop download, so availability can appear at slightly different times per player despite a typical 1:00 a.m. UTC rollout (5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET Dec. 9).
- Access begins with an in‑game Rotom call directing players to Hotel Z’s roof to start Side Mission 120, which introduces Ansha, Hoopa, and the path into Hyperspace Lumiose.
- Coverage reports a large content drop including over 135 returning Pokémon and 19 new Mega Evolutions, with showcased forms such as Mega Lucario Z, Mega Zeraora, and Mega Tatsugiri.
- The new area is designed for endgame play, featuring encounters above level 100 and items like donuts that temporarily raise Pokémon levels.
