Pokémon Pokopia Dazzling Decorations DLC arrives December 9 with outfits for Ditto

Ditto is getting a wardrobe. The Pokémon Company has dated Dazzling Decorations, Part 2 of the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, for December 9, 2026, with players in the Americas getting it on the evening of December 8 at 5:00 p.m. PT.

What's in Part 2

The headline feature is accessories. Expansion Pass owners will be able to dress up Ditto and their Pokémon neighbors, and the update also brings more Pokémon to befriend plus a batch of new items for decorating your town.

There are a couple of things to sort out before you dive in:

• The free ver. 3.0.0 software update has to be installed first.
• You need to have finished some key requests in Withered Wasteland: raising the environment level, rebuilding the Pokémon Center and Drifloon's "Find a doll!" request.

Buying the pass also comes with a recipe for Ditto print blocks and wallpaper, and an emailed code for 30 rare Pokémetal ingots, claimable until August 31, 2027.

The road so far, and a free event first

Part 1, Bubbly Basin, added an underwater town back on August 5, and Part 3 is planned for 2027 with yet another town to rebuild. Before December, everyone gets a free seasonal event: Apples to Applin runs from November 16 to December 1. Collect Syrupy Apples, trade them for apple-themed furniture, and build habitats to attract Flapple, Appletun, Dipplin and Hydrapple. You'll need ver. 2.0.1 or later for that one.

My take: a cozy life sim was always going to end up as a dress-up game, and honestly, Ditto in sunglasses is reason enough. Pokémon Pokopia launched on March 5, 2026, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
