Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - The Teal Mask
The first expansion for the DLC, The Teal Mask has released as of September 13, 2023. As part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, The Teal Mask offers a new adventure where you'll be joining an outdoors study program in the Land of Kitakami held jointly between their academy and another school.

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.
