Highlights
- Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release two DLC packs, with the first one, The Teal Mask, dropping on September 13, featuring new Pokemon such as Dipplin.
- The Indigo Disk DLC will introduce new Pokemon like Archaludon, Raging Bolt, and Iron Crown, along with new story content, areas, and more.
- Both DLCs will also include returning Pokemon from previous games.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC packs were heavily featured during the latest Pokemon Presents event, with The Pokemon Company using the opportunity to reveal four new Pokemon to the world. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be receiving two expansion packs this year, with the first one, The Teal Mask, set to drop on September 13.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC will give players the chance to encounter all kinds of Pokemon from previous games in the series, but it's safe to say that many fans are likely most excited about the chance to catch brand-new Pokemon. Previously, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet confirmed Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, and Ogerpon for The Teal Mask, but now it's pulled the curtain back on an additional Pokemon players will be able to catch in the DLC.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC will include a new evolution for Applin called Dipplin, making the unique apple-like Pokemon look like a candied apple. Dipplin is a Grass/Dragon-type Pokemon, but it's unclear what players will need to do to make Applin evolve into Dipplin. Dipplin will be available beginning September 13 in The Teal Mask DLC, while the other three new Pokemon revealed during the Pokemon Presents will be added in The Indigo Disk later this year. They are a new evolved form for Duraludon named Archaludon, as well as Paradox forms for Raikou and Cobalion named Raging Bolt and Iron Crown, respectively.

Credible leaker Riddler Khu recently teased that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask would include seven brand-new Pokemon. Assuming that's accurate, there are still two new Pokemon to discover in the DLC come September 13. It's possible that Nintendo or The Pokemon Company will unveil those two mystery Pokemon before the Teal Mask release date rolls around on September 13, but it's also entirely possible that fans misinterpreted what Riddler Khu was teasing. If that's the case, it's possible that the only new Pokemon in The Teal Mask will be Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Ogerpon, and Dipplin. Fans will just have to wait and see on that front.
While discovering and catching new Pokemon will be hugely exciting for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players that pick up the DLC, they will also be treated to new story content, new areas to explore, new mini-games to complete, and more. Needless to say, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC packs should keep fans plenty busy when The Teal Mask drops on September 13 and when The Indigo Disk launches this winter.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
