Following the success of the first DLC expansion forPokemon Scarlet & Violet, franchise fans are excited to find out just what the Indigo Disk has in store for them. From what little’s been shown of it so far, it seems safe to assume that the Indigo Disk DLC will be both bigger and better than its predecessor in almost every measurable way, with 25 returningLegendary Pokemonalready confirmed for the expansion.
Given the excitement surrounding the expansion, it’s easy to see why so manyPokemon Scarlet & Violetplayers are eager to find out the release time for Indigo Disk and when they can start playing. Although Nintendo is still to confirm this as of the time of writing, it’s possible to get a pretty good idea of what time Indigo Disk will be released based on previous DLC expansions for Nintendo games.

What Time Can I Start Playing the Indigo Disk DLC?
Previous Pokemon DLC expansionshave typically gone live at 10 AM JST. As such, it seems fair to assume thatthe Indigo Disk DLC will be released at 8 PM Eastern Time on December 13. This assumption is supported by the fact that the USPokemonwebsite states that “The Indigo Disk Arrives December 13”, despite the fact that the official release date for the expansion is December 14. Assuming this isn’t just a mistake on Nintendo’s part and the DLC follows the same pattern as previousPokemonexpansions, expected worldwide release times for the Indigo Disk can be found in the table below:
5:00 PM (December 13)

6:00 PM (December 13)
7:00 PM (December 13)
8:00 PM (December 13)

2:00 AM (December 14)
3:00 AM (December 14)
6:30 AM (December 14)
