How Many Areas Are in Pokopia? 5 Main Areas, 6 Map Regions
Pokopia areas guide: 5 main areas, 6 base-game map regions, and the separate Bubbly Basin DLC town.
Quick answer
Pokopia has five main base-game areas for normal play. The interactive map lists six base-game regions because Rocky Ridges Underground and Rocky Ridges Surface are separate map layers: Palette Town, Withered Wasteland, Bleak Beach, Rocky Ridges Underground, Rocky Ridges Surface, and Sparkling Skylands. Bubbly Basin is a separate paid DLC town that became available on August 5, 2026.

Areas vs towns vs regions
Use regions when you are filtering the interactive map. Use towns when you are talking about places you can rebuild or expand. Palette Town is the starter town everyone sees first. Bubbly Basin is the next paid Expansion Pass town and is playable now.
Where Bubbly Basin fits
Bubbly Basin is Part 1 of the Expansion Pass and has been live since August 5, 2026. It is an underwater town with new Pokémon, furniture, requests, farming, and building systems. Use the town guide for entry requirements and its new features.
To prepare for Bubbly Basin, use the Pokopia DLC guide. The important boundary is simple: Dive comes from the free Version 2.0 update, while the Bubbly Basin town itself requires the paid Expansion Pass.
What to use next
- Use the interactive map when you already know the area and need exact pins.
- Use the Habitat guide when an area points you toward a Pokémon build.
- Use the Pokedex when you need to confirm which Pokémon, habitat, or event status applies.
