DLC Preorder Bonuses

Select the Correct Item from the Nintendo E-Shop

To avoid problems when purchasing the DLC, make sure to select the correct item from the shop. If you already own a copy of either Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, make sure to purchase the DLC only, which is $34.99. Buying the base game and DLC bundle may result in having an extra copy of the game on your account, which could further complicate things on your end.

Returning Pokemon are Native to Japanese Inspired Regions

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Kitakami Wildlife
The Pokemon that have been showcased in the Teal Mask trailer shows off multiple Pokemon that were introduced in Japanese inspired regions like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Kitakami is shown to also be home to regular Wooper, instead of the Paldean Variant. Other Pokemon like Senzu Style Oricorio can also be found in the wild, which aren't available in Paldea naturally.

Terarium Supports Regional Forms

Terarium Wild Pokemon Habitats
As seen in the Indigo Disk trailer, one of the biomes in the Terarium are shown to be able to support wild Alolan Exeggutor. This could mean each biome could allow you to get rare regional forms for Pokemon without the need to Transfer Pokemon.

Learn Old Moves for Transferred Pokemon

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Indigo Disk - Milotic Scald
The livestream showcased a Milotic that knows the move Scald, a move it can only learn via TR in Sword and Shield.

Due to the fact that Scald is not a TM anymore, The Indigo Disk could introduce a way to connect with Pokemon HOME to learn moves it cannot naturally learn in Paldea.

Perrin is a travelling photographer who has arrived in Kitakami in search of a certain Pokemon in the Timeless Woods. She seems to look similar to another character from the past, could this be linked to Kitakami having Hisuian Pokemon?

BB League Elite Four

Pokemon Scarlet BB League Elite Four.jpg

The Indigo Disk features a brand-new Elite Four, each with their own Elite Trial. Collectively they're known as the BB League, short for Blueberry League. Each of the four biomes of the Terarium hosts one of the members of the BB League Elite Four, so players must travel to each of the four areas and fight the Elite Four member there to progress the Indigo Disk's storyline.

Is the DLC Worth Buying?

It is Definitely Worth Buying!

Pokemon Scarlet SV The Indigo Disk Release Date

Based on the quality and amount of content, it can be one of the highest-achieving DLCs Pokemon has seen. Furthermore, the DLC is battle-centric; it provides a significant challenge by emphasizing a battle format not commonly explored by past titles, double battles!

The Indigo Disk DLC also experimented on fan-requested features such as being a Pokemon, customizing your base, and much more!

The Indigo Disk DLC Post Game Content

Access the upcoming Epilogue on January 11, 2024

In order to access the Epilogue of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, one must finish both DLCs. This incentivizes players to invest in both The Teal Mask and Indigo Disk DLCs to get proper closure of the story.

If you are not quite satisfied with how the base game ends, the expansions are entirely worth it apart from the Epilogue!
