The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass comes out in less than a week and to make sure people are up to date on what to expect, a 7-minute trailer has been deployed to get everyone up to speed.

It is a pretty spectacular bit of kit, with a free update bringing a new Ditto copy move to the game in the form of Dive, allowing you to actually exist underwater and therefore letting you craft and landscape.

This is a big change for the game, given that water would forcefully despawn Ditto after a spell – and leads beautifully into the real meat and potatoes of the paid DLC: A brand new underwater town to explore and restore. All kinds of neat new stuff like bioluminescent coral paths, deep-sea trenches, and new floating “buoyant blocks” to build custom structures like Sharpedo submarine bases await those who are willing to drop some cash on expanding their Pokopia experience.
