It follows The Teal Mask. As such, completion of the main story of The Teal Mask, as well as completing the main story of Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, are prerequisites to beginning the main story of The Indigo Disk.

Plot

The player will be traveling to Blueberry Academy, a sister school of their own academy, as an exchange student. During the adventure, players will return to Paldea and descend the Great Crater of Paldea once more, visiting a yet-undiscovered place within Area Zero.

New Activities

BB League

The Blueberry League, BB League for short, is a unique Pokémon battle league where students rise in ranks from the various Pokémon battles against each other. To face the BB League Elite Four, the player must pass four unique Elite Tests. Each member of BB League Elite Four occupies a biome in the Terarium. One Elite Trial by Amarys has Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V gain the ability to fly temporarily to pass through floating rings in the air.

League Club

Blueberry Academy has a League Club where participating players in the BB League can join to train through Pokémon battles. The player can also use the clubroom's computer to fund other clubs in the Academy using BP (Blueberry Points). Depending on the club they're helping, the player can receive thank-you gifts. One example is being able to redecorate the League Club room after sending funds to the Art Club. The player can spend 3,000 BP to increase the amount of Pokémon that will appear in certain areas within the Terarium biome.

Special Guests

While at Blueberry Academy, the player can invite familiar characters from Paldea for a visit, such as the Gym Leaders. Players will be able to do a variety of activities, such as taking photos, learning more about them, battling and trading Pokémon after interacting with the guest a few times. The traded Pokémon comes with a new Ribbon -the Partner Ribbon, which shows the original owner's name when the Pokémon is sent into battle, such as "Go! Iono's Magnemite!". The player can invite up to 23 different characters to the League Club by using BP.

Blueberry Quests

Blueberry Quests, BBQs for short, are side quests assigned by the Academy. Completing these side quests earns the player BP. BBQs can be tracked in the notices menu, and players will also be able to take on group quests with friends through the Union Circle. One group quest will involve searching for Ditto that have transformed into blocks hidden around the Terarium.

Throwing Styles

By donating funds to the Academy's Baseball Club, players will have the ability to change the throwing style of their Poké Ball during a battle. There are plenty of animations to choose from and can be changed whenever needed.

Synchro Machine

A new feature in the Terarium, the player can unlock the Synchro Machine after helping a Scientist named Synclaire with her research. The machine allows the player to synchronize with their Pokémon, allowing them to move around as said Pokémon and battle other Pokémon in the style of auto battle. Unlike a typical auto battle, Shiny Pokémon will be knocked out if attacked while the Player is synchronized. The Synchro Machine can also be used in the Union Circle, with the entire group synchronizing with their respective Pokémon. Every Pokémon included in Scarlet and Violet, along with DLC expansions, can be synchronized with. Also, flying Pokémon used in Synchro Machine will stay in flight, even when walking off a ledge.

Moves

Several new moves have been introduced for The Indigo Disk.

• Temper Flare, Dragon Cheer, Psychic Noise and Upper Hand, available as TM207, TM226, TM228 and TM229, respectively.
• Electro Shot, the signature move of Archaludon.
• Fickle Beam, the signature move of Hydrapple.
• Burning Bulwark, the signature move of Gouging Fire.
• Thunderclap, the signature move of Raging Bolt.
  • Rising Voltage returns in The Indigo Disk as an exclusive move to Raging Bolt, which is learned by leveling up.
• Mighty Cleave, the signature move of Iron Boulder.
• Tachyon Cutter, the signature move of Iron Crown.
• Tera Starstorm, the signature move of Terapagos.
• Malignant Chain, the signature move of Pecharunt.

Abilities

Terapagos has three new signature abilities tied to each of its forms, Tera Shift for Normal form, Tera Shell for Terastal form, and Teraform Zero for Stellar form. Pecharunt also debuts its signature ability Poison Puppeteer.

Other features

• All Starter Pokémon from past generations in the core series will return in The Indigo Disk. Players will be able to encounter them in the Terarium, a facility within Blueberry Academy that re-creates a variety of biomes. This will also allow players to see Starter Pokémon as they live in their natural habitats.
• After reaching a certain point in The Indigo Disk, the player can unlock Koraidon^S/Miraidon^V's ability to fly permanently. This allows the player to fly freely in Paldea, Kitakami, and the Terarium instead of gliding.
• 25 different Legendary Pokémon from past generations in the core series will return in The Indigo Disk as well. To encounter them, the player must speak to a new character called Snacksworth at Blueberry Academy, who will only appear after completing the main story of The Indigo Disk. Meeting certain conditions will prompt Snacksworth to give special snacks needed to encounter the specific Legendary Pokémon, in which the encounter will happen in Paldea. Snacksworth will also share stories of his heroic encounters and extensive knowledge of the Legendary Pokémon. The encountered Legendary Pokémon will be at level 70 and each will have their original battle music from the games they debuted in.
