Discover the new habitats in the Bubbly Basin DLC for Pokémon Pokopia, including item requirements and how to unlock them.
The recent Bubbly Basin DLC for Pokémon Pokopia introduces 36 new habitats, officially confirmed by Julia Lee and Giovanni Colantonio at Polygon Entertainment on August 6, 2026. These habitats are now accessible via a dedicated "Basin" tab in the Habitat Dex, enhancing players' gameplay experience by allowing the creation of more diverse environments for Pokémon.
The newly added habitats function similarly to existing ones in the base game. Players will need to strategically place specific items in proximity to foster livable environments for their Pokémon. Once a habitat is set up correctly, it will exhibit sparkling effects, indicating successful registration in the Habitat Dex.
To access the Bubbly Basin habitats, players must have the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass. This requirement ensures that only those who have invested in the expansion can experience these new features, including items unique to this DLC that players can gather in the area.
While several items can be easily found in the Bubbly Basin, others may require players to increase their Environment Level to unlock specific crafting recipes. This adds a layer of engagement, as players will need to enhance their skills and resources. Players may also need some luck in obtaining particular items, especially on the Basin Dream Island, where certain treasures are found.
