Mega Dimension DLC is a lengthy coda to the base game, riffing on every narrative and mechanical overhaul Game Freak brought to Lumiose City. It is essentially the postgame that lacked when it launched in October, and while your mileage may vary on whether or not you want to spend an extra $30 to play it, what's here is a compelling spin on everything that made the game one of most compelling experiments.

Your biggest asset in Mega Dimension 's Hyperspace zones is time, and it's possible to miss out on an objective by literal seconds if you don't have a Pokémon that can readily reach an object or target on high ground. This is especially important when you're trying to reach the floating Poke Balls throughout the zone that you'll often have to destroy as part of a Hyperspace run.

I waited over a decade for Raichu to get a Mega Evolution, so I sympathize with anyone who has a beloved Pokémon they're hoping might get one in upcoming Mega Dimension DLC. Now that my favorite electric rat has not just one, but Mega Evolutions, the title for "most oppressed Pokémon fan waiting for a Mega Evolution" now goes to the Flygon stans, and they're really going through it.

Through the powers of the Mythical Pokemon Hoopa, you'll enter portals and explore an alternate "Hyperspace" version of the game's setting of Lumiose City. It basically looks like normal Lumiose, but everything is chrome. This version of the city is populated with Pokemon not seen in the base game, including Alolan and Galarian variants of Pokemon from previous titles. Even if you leveled out your party in Legends: Z-A, expect wild Pokemon in Hyperspace Lumiose to provide a challenge in battles--some of them even exceed level 100 with "hyperspace levels."

As we knew from the original announcement, Mega Dimension will include Hoopa, the dimension-jumping legendary Pokémon, opening rifts to what looks like different versions of Lumiose City that include different wild Pokemon. We see a few monsters not native to the Kalos city, including Chimecho, Baxcalibur, and Corviknight in the trailer, the latter two of which are getting new Mega Evolutions as part of the expansion.
