Darlings, Pokémon Pokopia just clocked five million sales on Switch 2 five months after launch, and The Pokémon Company is celebrating with a free update that hands Ditto the Dive move for full underwater exploration. The August 5 patch rolled out alongside Part 1 of the paid Expansion Pass—Bubbly Basin—which drops an underwater town, fresh Pokémon encounters, new furniture, and food recipes for players ready to spend extra on their cozy utopia.

The life-sim spin-off launched March 5 exclusively on Switch 2, shifting 2.2 million units in its first four days and climbing steadily to the latest milestone announced via Business Wire. Part 2 of the Expansion Pass arrives late 2026 with accessories, while Part 3 follows in 2027, giving the game a multi-year content roadmap that keeps the transformation-crafting loop alive.

X is already flooded with players showing off their submerged builds and Ditto transformations, proving this Ditto-led paradise has legs beyond the initial sales spike. The free Dive addition means even base-game owners get to splash into new depths without opening their wallets, while the paid path promises more layered paradise-building for those chasing every last detail.

Sources close to the community say the underwater town is the real hook pulling in repeat logins right now.
