Warning!

You will have to reset your save file for the next update [v1.1]

The next update [v1.1] will be massive! While it’s not the originally promised one, it’s still packed with features. I’ll be refactoring almost everything, alongside introducing new features like Dynamax, Gigantamax, an updated UI, improved trainer parties, Improved AI, and Indigo Disk DLC Pokémon, moves, and items, along with numerous bug fixes and performance improvements.

If a wormhole is spawned talking to Hoopa will take you near it.
*note: you need to beat the game for Hoopa to teleport you to the spawn location.

Useful Stuff

Your old savefile should work but If you want to use the randomizer/nuzlocke features you will have to start a new game.
