Teal Mask

The method to catch Meloetta in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk expansion doesn’t seem real.

A crafty Pokemon fan shared a crocheted giant Mewtwo plush online. Known as one of the most powerful pocket monsters, Mewtwo is well-loved by fans for its strong telekinetic powers, while also being a popular choice for team comps in various Pokemon games.

The next booster set for the Pokemon Trading Card Game will bring the Kitakami region to card form for the first time. The Pokemon TCG set is based on the first Expansion Pass DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The latest release trailer reveals the name of the expansion, as well as six cards players can hope to find when they open their booster packs.

Let’s get the obvious talking point out of the way: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are divisive games. Generation IX has caught a lot of heat for its glitches and lack of polish, but despite that, I personally have still had fun with these games. So someone like me should love The Indigo Disk, right?

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Indigo Disk DLC is finally here, bringing with it your climactic rematch with rival Kieran. Having already beaten him once in the Teal Mask DLC, Kieran skulked off to who knows where to power himself up for Indigo Disk, and he's back with a much improved team and ready for some revenge.

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC, players wind up hurting an NPC so badly that he takes a turn toward the villainous. However, one fan theory suggests that it may not be entirely our fault that this sweet kid goes bad.

Although do not explicitly state how the Loyal Three are resurrected in, the surrounding events do offer some intriguing clues. As Legendaries, the Loyal Three are major figures among the Pokémon newly added in this DLC, but their appearance is as strange as it is impactful. And although more answers may be forthcoming when releases, for now there is still much mystery surrounding the Loyal Three of Kitakami.

The fairy Pokemon Clefairy has always had a bit of magical mystery to it and is known to gather under the full moon. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are honoring this lore by adding Clefairy mass outbreaks to the game in honor of today’s full moon. In Scarlet & Violet, mass outbreaks are when you see a large number of the same Pokemon gathered in the same place, which means your chance of catching them is greatly increased.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet had a mixed launch. Even though it was critiqued by players due to poor quality, the latest games in the Pokemon series sold more than ten million copies in their first three days. That likely means quite a few of you are playing the game's Teal Mask DLC right now. If you chose to hold out based on the early reactions, or simply because you had other things going on at the time, Pokemon has dropped a little bit of good news for you this week.

The arrival of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s first DLC, the Teal Mask, brings a range of new and returning Pokemon to the game. You’ll have the chance to encounter these Pokemon as you explore the region and work your way through the story. As you might expect, several of these Pokemon are shiny-locked.

The final boss and ending of ’s DLC can be reached within a few hours of gameplay, as the first part of the expansion pack is not too long. There is much to do before and after completing the main campaign, such as catching Bloodmoon Ursaluna in ’s . Though the conclusion of the main story is not too hard to achieve, it is vital for players who want to fully complete the content of the expansion. In fact, it is necessary for those who want to fill in the entire Kitakami Pokédex in .

This isn’t really a secret, but a Pokémon could kill a human at any point if it wanted to. These beloved creatures harness elemental powers well beyond the strength of any human, and even a lowly Weedle could easily maim or kill a person. If you really think about it, every Pokémon trainer is only one Razor Leaf or Flamethrower away from death.

The star of the Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is Ogerpon. This totally new Legendary Pokemon is exclusive to the Kitakami Region and comes equipped with a set of masks you can use to swap forms between battles, giving your Ogerpon a degree of customization. You’ll find three masks as you complete the main story and be forced to battle Ogerpon in all of its forms to finally capture it. Learn when (and how) you’ll actually catch Ogerpon in the full guide below.

DLC is finally here for and brings with it the introduction of some amazing and powerful new rare Pokémon to add to a trainer's Pokédex, along with a clever story that ties many of these creatures together in a unique way. This new excursion lets Trainers take a field trip to the region of Kitakami and is the first expansion for DLC to the game. Kitakami is holding a festival at the time that Trainers enter the area that provides a perfect backdrop for exploring the location and researching the Pokémon that call it home.

Finding and catching Okidogi in ’s DLC can be troublesome, as the first additional content to the Generation 9 games does not actually point out the location of the Legendary creature when you are able to confront it. Okidogi is one of the members of the Loyal Three, a trio of Legendaries that is exclusive to the Kitakami region. Kitakami, of course, is the area you explore while in the expansion. Capturing Okidogi and its allies is an essential part of completing the Kitakami Pokédex in ’s DLC.

Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti are making their debut in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s DLC, the Teal Mask. These Pokemon will appear in the significant story, and after you’ve completed it, you’ll have the chance to capture all three of them. These Pokemon won’t be catchable in the main story, so you’ll have to track them down when you reach the end.

The Teal Mask is full of Pokemon with unique and bizarre evolution requirements. I love trying to figure these out for myself, but some tiptoe the line between inspired and obtuse. Basculegion is one such Pokemon, and the evolution conditions are so strange that it’s unlikely to be discovered without help. Even finding a Basculin in the first place is no mean feat. With this in mind, let me show you how to get Basculegion in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – Teal Mask.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC adds over 100 returning Pokemon and a few new ones for players to encounter, meaning the pool of huntable Shiny Pokemon has grown substantially. And thanks to the power of Herba Mystica, Shiny hunting is still easier than ever in Kitakami.

See how this new Pokemon matchas up in the latest trailer.
