An Expansion Pass is available for $29.99 USD, which includes two new areas to explore - the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra.

You’ll also see some familiar Pokémon that didn’t appear in the Galar region before—a total of over 200 Pokémon. Different Pokemon appear on the two different games. Trade with friends to collect them all!
