Parts
The Teal Mask
- Main article: The Teal Mask
In The Teal Mask, players will be chosen to take part in a school trip that is held each year in collaboration with another school. They’ll be taken to the land of Kitakami, where a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards. The trip seems to coincide with a festival regularly held in the village in Kitakami during this season, so the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls. Players will meet new friends and Pokémon as they unravel the mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in this land. This expansion features many new and returning Pokémon, including the game mascot Ogerpon. It is scheduled for release on September 13, 2023.
The Indigo Disk
- Main article: The Indigo Disk
In The Indigo Disk, players will be traveling to the Blueberry Academy, a sister school of their own academy, as an exchange student. This expansion features many new and returning Pokémon, including the game mascot Terapagos. It is scheduled for release in winter (Northern Hemisphere)/summer (Southern Hemisphere) 2023.
