Overview
- Nintendo’s Version 2.0.0 patch went live December 9 (UTC), enabling the paid Mega Dimension expansion as an in‑game update priced at about $29.99.
- Access requires completing the main story; after updating, a Rotom phone prompt sends players to Hotel Z’s rooftop to meet Ansha and begin Hyperspace Lumiose.
- Early post‑launch lists count roughly 19 new Mega Evolutions, with examples including Mega Lucario Z, Mega Zeraora, and Mega Raichu X/Y.
- Mega Stones are earned through side missions and high‑level boss encounters, with players reporting Mega Darkrai is obtainable in a late‑game battle that grants Darkanite.
- Dataminers say some forms are present but locked for later distribution, noting Mega Garchomp Z is in the files yet event‑gated, while non‑DLC owners can still receive added Pokémon via communication features.
