Will Kieran be in Pokemon Indigo Disk? The upcoming Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is meant to be a continuation of the Team Mask DLC from earlier in the year. Because of this, many are wondering if all the same characters will be in it.

Your journey in the land of Kitakami was only the beginning. You now must travel to Blueberry Academy where some familiar faces can be found but will Kieran be in Pokemon Indigo Disk?

Pokemon Indigo Disk – Is Kieran in the DLC?

Yes. Kieran will be in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC. There is much more to it than that, however. For starters, Kieran was revealed to have a brand-new look in the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part II Trailer released by Nintendo. Those looking to avoid spoilers and speculation should be warned.

If you remember Kieran from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s The Teal Mask DLC, he went through a pretty drastic change. At first, Carmine’s brother was a shy and innocent kid. After all the events in the first expansion with the main character, other trainers, and Ogerpon, Kieran’s behavior became rather erratic and more selfish/hostile.

By the end of the DLC, we got a cutscene with Kieran that showed him swearing to get stronger and get revenge though it isn’t clear what type of revenge he is talking about. He even left without saying goodbye to the protagonist.

The trailer has shown Kieran with some notable changes such as his clothes, facial expressions, and hairstyle. When you travel to Blueberry Academy as part of the exchange program, it is safe to say you might not recognize him.

One of the likely outcomes that fans believe to be the cause of this is possession. That’s right. Many believe that Kieran is possessed by a Pokemon named Dokutaro.

The image above features Dokutaro, the rumored poison and ghost-type Pokemon that is meant to resemble a peach. Before Teal Mask was released, there was information about this Pokemon being the leader of the Loyal Three, however, it never appeared in the DLC.

Because of this, there is a belief that Kieran was possessed by the mythical Pokémon Dokutaru and you must defeat him to free Kieran from his possession. If these rumors are true, there will be more to the DLC than simply tracking down Terapagos and other Indigo Disk legendary Pokemon.

Is Kieran in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet epilogue?

Yes. Kieran is also in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet epilogue. In the epilogue, you work with Kieran to solve an issue plaguing Mossui Town in Kitakami. This is also the end of the DLCs for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The epilogue also introduces Pechrunt to the new generation of Pokemon.

That is everything you need to know about Kieran’s return in the Indigo Disk DLC. Make sure you know how to start the Indigo Disk DLC so you don’t miss out on anything. Be sure to check out all the information about Blueberry Academy as well.
