What is the correct expansion pass?Like all other mainline Pokémon games before them, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are dual-released games in the same generation. This has caused issues in the past, as Pokémon Sword & Shield’s DLC involved two separate Expansion Passes, one for each game. As a result, some players bought the wrong Expansion Pass and had to go to Nintendo support to fix the issue.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet also have split DLC, so players must ensure they buy the correct one. The easiest way to do this is through buying the DLC in-game, though there are also options for doing so on the Nintendo Eshop.
