Beyond day one

systems that open up once your first paradise is established

• Ongoing systems

  Palette Town

  Three vacant islands set aside for free-form play once your main areas are underway — no fixed former-city layout to work around.

• Ongoing systems

  Cloud Islands

  Play sessions hosted over Nintendo Switch Online. The standard (non-Professor) Tangrowth is the only species in the game that requires NSO to encounter — it only appears via Cloud Island play. Professor Tangrowth itself cannot appear on Cloud Islands, since the treasure trove its habitat needs can’t be copied by a Pokémon Center’s 3D Printer.

• Ongoing systems

  Dream Islands

  A separate island system referenced alongside Cloud Islands as one of the game’s extended-play spaces.

• Ongoing systems

  Link Play

  Local/online co-op building — multiple players shape the same paradise together.

• Expansion Pass

  Bubbly Basin

  The Expansion Pass area: a submerged former Cerulean City. Sunken Large Lost Relics (a distinct Ancient Artifacts subset) are only found here.

  Requirement: Requires the Dive move to access
