On this page
Pokemon Pokopia is a life simulation and building game for Nintendo Switch 2 where you play as Ditto and help restore a ruined world. It launched on March 5, 2026 for 69.99 US dollars. A paid Expansion Pass is rolling out in three parts, with Part 2 arriving on December 9, 2026.
What Pokemon Pokopia is
You play as Ditto and learn moves from other Pokemon, such as Leafage, Surf and Glide. You then use those moves to restore and travel a ruined world. Alongside that, the core activities are crafting, farming, home decoration, helping Pokemon with their requests and hosting house-warming parties.
A free update added underwater exploration using the move Dive.
