Area Zero Information
Explore our unique features and game mechanics!
Alpha And Paradox Pokemon
Alpha Pokemon spawn very commonly in Area Zero, but Paradox Pokemon are a bit rarer! Both spawn as aggressive Pokemon meaning you need to use weapons to defeat them before you can battle and catch them.
Alpha Pokemon have a chance to drop type sandwiches. Sandwiches raise the spawnrate of the corresponding type.
Paradox Pokemon spawn with terrain and weather conditions around them that hinder you. When defeated, they have a chance to drop Herba Mystica. Herba Mystica can be combined with sandwiches to turn it into a shiny sandwich of that type. Talk to Mallow at /warp AreaZero to combine them. Paradox Pokemon also have a chance to drop genie bottles which can be used to summon the forces of nature.
Chests
Chests can be found all around Area Zero! They randomly refill, so make sure to check them often. They can contain a variety of items, including mega stones and dowsing machines!
Dowsing/Ursaluna Riding
Certain loot can only be found while using a Dowsing Machine or riding on Ursaluna! While you're walking around with a Dowsing Machine or riding on Ursaluna, you'll see a boss bar come up at the top of your screen. The color of the bar and amount of "!"s changes the closer you get to the loot.
When using a Dowsing Machine, there's a chance to find a Mythical Pecha Berry. This item can be used to summon Pecharunt. There is also a chance for Meltan to appear! If you catch 100 of them, you get a Meltan Box which allows you to evolve a Meltan to Melmetal.
When riding on Ursaluna, some of the notable loot items you can find are Herba Mystica, Ogerpon Masks, Zygarde Cubes, and the Old Sea Map which is used to summon Mew. If you have a Zygarde Cube in your inventory, there's a chance for Zygarde Cells to appear. There is an even rarer chance for a Zygarde Core to appear, which is catchable. You can collect cells in the Zygarde Cube and bring it to a Zygarde Machine to turn your Core into different forms of Zygarde.
Legendary Encounters
Certain items can be used to start battles with legendary Pokemon in Area Zero. You can do these battles with a group of 5 people. They are very difficult, so it's recommended to have at least 3 people.
Miraidon and Koraidon can spawn naturally anywhere in Area Zero. After one spawns, it takes a minimum of 6 hours before the next one can spawn.
Terapagos can be obtained by fishing in Area Zero using a Super Rod or better. It's extremely rare.
Misc
Spiritomb can be changed into its Unbound form by using an Odd Keystone. Odd Keystones can be found from chests and dowsing.
