ThePokemon Scarlet & VioletExpansion Pass consists of two parts: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. Much like the preceding mainlinePokemon,Sword & Shield, both DLC stories are locked behind specific requirements. While Teal Mask can be started almost immediately, Indigo Disk requires some more work.
First off, the Blueberry Academy of Indigo Disk is a much stronger and more competitive region than Teal Mask’s Kitakami. If you’re still collecting Gym Badges inPokemon Scarlet & Violet’s base game, then the Indigo Disk will be unavailable until you meet the DLC’s requirements.
Where to Start the Indigo Disk DLC
To start the Indigo Disk, you will need to have done the following:
If your game doesn’t automatically download, simply select thePokemonScarlet/Violetgame on the Switch home screen, andchoose to start the update. Another way to update is to move the “cursor” over the game and press(+), then chooseSoftware Update. Depending on storage space, part 2 of the Expansion Pass (Indigo Disk) shouldn’t take long to download.
Once you have clearedScarlet/Violet’s main story and theTeal Maskstory, you will receivea phone call from Director Clavell. Your character has been chosen to be an exchange student for Blueberry Academy, a school in Unova that specializes in Pokemon battling. After this, you will need togo to Naranja/Uva Academy. As soon as you walk through the doors, a cutscene will trigger, and you will meetCyrano, the director of Blueberry Academy.
You don’t have to go to Unova immediately, but if you want to take off,speak to Cyranoand select"yes"to fly to the new region.
Before you’re able to dive into the Academy itself,you will meet and battle against one of the Academy’s BB Elite Four members,Lacey. At Blueberry Academy, they specialize inDouble Battles, which were a one-time occurrence (Montenevera’s Gym) in Paldea.
You can return to Paldea or Kitakami by opening the map with Y-button, and then tabbing over with R and L-button.
How to Beat Lacey
Before you can go to the actual Academy itself, Cyrano will insist that you and Lacey have a Pokemon battle. As a warm-up battle in Indigo Disk, she won’t have a full team. Instead, she’ll usethree Pokemon.

The levels of Lacey’s Pokemon will give you an idea of how challenging the trainers and Pokemon are going to be in the Indigo Disk. If you’re over-leveled, you caneasily 1HKO some of her Pokemon, but the trainers at Blueberry Academy won’t hesitate to target your Pokemon’s type weaknesses, so be careful.
Here’s what you should keep in mind when battling Lacey for the first time:
