1. Indigo Disk DLC Now Available
Trainers who purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC can now access Part 2, the Indigo Disk adventures. This long-awaited story expansion opens up new areas to explore and missions to complete.
2. New Pokemon for All Players
Even those who haven't bought the DLC will see additional Pokemon appear through local or online play. This gives all players a chance to catch and battle newly added creatures.
3. Ogre Oustin' Difficulty Reduced
In response to player feedback, Game Freak eased up on the difficulty of the Ogre Oustin' minigame introduced in Part 1 of the DLC. Popping the take-no-prisoners Ogre Balloons should prove less frustrating with this adjustment.

4. Ability Bug Fixes
Several key bug fixes address Ability issues that previously caused unintended effects.
- The Hospitality Ability in particular created unexpected behavior that should now behave normally.
- Likewise, Quark Drive and Protosynthesis will work as intended even if the neutralizing Gas Ability enters the fray.
5. Other Miscellaneous Fixes
The patch notes also mention "other select bug fixes" beyond the ones called out. Presumably, these address smaller glitches players have reported since launch.
