Overview
A strange alternate version of Lumiose reached through Mega Dimension distortions.
How it works
The Mega Dimension expansion introduces spatial distortions connecting the city to unfamiliar areas. Hoopa helps open the path, and Pokémon with hyperspace levels can exceed the ordinary level cap.
How to play
Finish the main story, bring strong coverage and reserve healing for extended exploration. Treat the new areas as a different progression tier rather than another early-game wild zone.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not present these areas as part of an unmodified base-game map. DLC ownership and progress matter.

What makes it distinct
Similar-looking streets can conceal different encounters. The expansion emphasizes powerful Pokémon and new Mega forms.
