Ditto has transformed to look like a human. They learn moves from other Pokémon and work together with them. Taking their time to develop towns and enjoy life to the fullest. Joining other Pokémon at the seaside and playing in the water. How refreshing. It looks like everyone's having lots of fun. Ditto is in a great mood. The beach is perfect for hot days like these. Dive into the sea and have some fun together. That's right. Ditto can't stand underwater for too long.

Huh? There's a Pokémon watching from behind that tree. Is that Manaphy? It looks like Manaphy will teach Ditto how to have fun underwater. After learning the move dive from Manaphy, Ditto can go underwater. That's great, Ditto. Now you can explore the world under the sea. In underwater areas that used to be inaccessible, you now have even more freedom. Try taking some Pokémon with you for a swim. When underwater, you can have a lovely time developing towns just like on land. You could try to build a beach house under the water or dive below the surface on a hand car. You'll have even more ways to develop your town in a free software update available on August 5th. And with the Pokémon Poképia expansion pass paid DLC,

you'll be able to go to a brand new town, bubbly basin. It's a place that has remained untouched beneath the sea. First, you'll meet Popplio. Lead the way, Popplio. But how can you help add some sparkle and shine to the town? Even here under the sea, you start by growing grass. It became a habitat. Let's make this spot home for now. More Pokémon are arriving one after another. Let's work together to develop the town.

A crop field, can they grow underwater? With a air from Mudkip and some help from Corsola, they've managed to grow watermelons underwater. What's this? The building specialist Corphish wants to make a house. Just use some of the new buoyant block items and ta-da! You can build a home that floats underwater. Huh? It got really dark out while we were working on that house. I know. We need some lights. With Chinchou's help, the town is brighter now.

There are interesting items like this one, too. As you fulfill requests from other Pokémon, the scenery in town will grow livelier every day. Ditto's really making a splash with everybody. You can also place new furniture that fits perfectly with the ocean world and make a new favorite spot. Now, where could Ditto and friends be headed out in this vast ocean? They've entered the pitch-black depths of the deep sea.

Use glowing coral to guide your way through this dark world. This new underwater world is filled with sights yet to be seen. There's also plenty of items and furniture that can only be found here. Enjoy developing a town that's only possible underwater. We hope you look forward to experiencing the world of Pokémon Pocopia with even more freedom.
