The Pokemon Company and developer Game Freak revealed more information for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk.
The new batch of details introduces new content arriving with the downloadable content – most notably the new Synchro Machine, the new ability to fly, and even returning legendary Pokemon from previous titles.
Here’s a rundown on the new content, plus a trailer:
The Synchro Machine
Once players progress far enough in their adventure in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk, they’ll be able to use a device called the Synchro Machine to see the world through the eyes of their Pokémon. While synchronized with one of their Pokémon, they can move around and battle wild Pokémon—a fresh new way to play the game. It appears that this device is still a prototype. Players can use it once they’ve helped a scientist in the Terarium with her research.
The Power of Flight
The Legendary Pokémon Koraidon or Miraidon will gain the power to fly for the first time when Trainers take on the Elite Trial set by Amarys of the BB League Elite Four. While this power is at first believed to be only temporarily imparted, it can apparently be made permanent, allowing Koraidon and Miraidon to fly at any time—but only once players have made it far enough in their adventure. Trainers will be able to fly wherever they please with their Legendary Pokémon and enjoy the sense of freedom that only an open world can provide.
Legendary Pokémon
After completing the main story of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk, Trainers can meet a curious character named Snacksworth at Blueberry Academy. By completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs) in the Terarium, Trainers can earn snacks from Snacksworth that will allow them to encounter certain Legendary Pokémon from throughout the series back in the Paldea region. He’ll also share his extensive knowledge about these Pokémon with Trainers—as well as tall tales of his own heroic encounters with them.
The second pack of paid downloadable content for the games is launching this holiday – on December 14th.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now on the Nintendo Switch. Check out our review for the base game here!
