Overview
- Game Freak released version 1.0.2 on November 6, fixing progression blockers such as box‑full capture failures, day/night move timing bugs, and a trainer switch–Mega Evolution soft lock, while adjusting Ranked so points don’t drop and match rewards increase.
- The latest update is mandatory for online play and local communication no longer works between mismatched versions.
- Nintendo and The Pokémon Company dated the paid Mega Dimension expansion for December 10 on Switch and Switch 2, introducing Hyperspace Lumiose led by new character Ansha and her partner Hoopa.
- The DLC adds new Megas—Mega Raichu X/Y, Mega Chimecho, and Mega Baxcalibur—and introduces hyperspace levels that let some Pokémon surpass level 100, with Baxcalibur’s Mega Stone earned via progress in online Ranked Battles.
- A Diancite Mystery Gift is live to start the “Shine Bright like a Gemstone” Diancie mission, and community testing reports the Wild Zone 20 six‑Alpha shiny‑hunting method still works after the 1.0.2 patch.
