This page offers a guide on all Pokémon found in the Area Zero Crater in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. You’ll find information on where to find Pokémon in Area Zero and map links to our interactive Paldea Region map!

All Pokemon in Area Zero Map

We’re going to be listing Pokémon by Research Stations seeing as there’s no map to direct players too in Area Zero. That being said, we do have a handy interactive map for Paldea, with links to useful items and Pokémon in the Area Zero crater. For the purpose of this page though, we’ll be using every Research Station as a marker for a new area of the crater, so lets get straight into it:

Pokémon Before Research Station No.1

(1 of 14) Farigiraf found before Research Station No.1 In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Before Research Station No.2

Pokémon Before Research Station No.3

Pokémon Before Research Station No.4 (Above Ground)

(1 of 15) Altaria can be found after Research Stations No.3 and 4 above ground in Area Zero.

All Paradox Pokémon

We’ve already given a full guide on every Paradox Pokémon available to players of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, but here’s a quick table to bring players up to speed. All Paradox Pokémon will become available in Area Zero once the ‘A Way Home’ storyline has been completed and players start the Gym Inspection task:
