But before you start playing, you might be wondering how to trigger this new adventure. Fear not, this article will guide you on how to unlock the The Teal Mask DLC in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
The Teal Mask DLC Requirements
To begin with, you’ll need to have completed the first day of school, i.e., the opening chapter of the game, called "First Day of School". This should bring you to around level 15 on average. Make sure you’ve progressed far enough in the game to get to this point, else you won’t be able to access the DLC. Note: Completing the main story does not guarantee access to the The Teal Mask DLC; you need to reach a certain level to proceed.
