Location of Area Zero in Paldea.
Pokémon world locations

Area Zero (Japanese: エリアゼロ Area Zero) is an area located within the Great Crater of Paldea at the center of the Paldea region. It is initially accessed from the Zero Gate. After the player has entered Area Zero for the first time, they may also enter it by falling through the clouds over the Great Crater of Paldea.

The area is strictly off-limits to most people, though the Flying Taxi service still covers it. An official school rule, explicitly stated by Director Clavell, forbids any student of Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V from entering Area Zero during the Treasure Hunt due to the aggressive Pokémon that live there and the hazardous geography of the area. It contains various wild Pokémon, including Paradox Pokémon, that usually cannot be encountered anywhere else. Additionally, it is where the Terastal phenomenon originated; Tera Orbs are made out of the crystals found in Area Zero. Furthermore, if the player Terastallizes their own Pokémon within Area Zero, the Tera Orb will automatically be recharged at the end of the battle.

During the events of The Indigo Disk, the player is accompanied by Briar, Carmine, and Kieran to the Area Zero Underdepths, a location below the Zero Lab, and by extension, Area Zero.

History

File:Area Zero Underground SV.png

The depths of Area Zero

2,000 years ago, the Paldean emperor attempted many expeditions into Area Zero, starting off the Great Age of Exploration. The reason was due to a rumor, claiming there was treasure located at the bottom. However, this decision led to the empire declining after 1,000 years. 800 years later, Heath and the Area Zero expedition team would be the first to reach Area Zero's bottom. Here, Heath proceeds to take many notes on the area, Herba Mystica, the various wild Pokémon and first encounter with the mysterious Paradox Pokémon. He would later record his research into the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V. However, people accused Heath of fabricating his story, and the whole expedition was widely discredited. The expedition team also took the Herba Mystica with them outside of the crater for a research project. The project failed due to local Pokémon consuming the herbs and transforming into the Titan Pokémon.

60 years after the expedition, the Terastal phenomenon would be discovered for the first time in Area Zero. However, the phenomenon could not be achieved outside of Area Zero. 53 years later, a research station was built in Area Zero in order for research to be continued at the location. Ten years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Professor Sada^S/Professor Turo^V started an expedition into Area Zero, setting up the Zero Lab. The professor would find a way to achieve the Terastal phenomenon outside of Area Zero through the use of Tera Orbs. Eventually, the professor moved permanently into the Zero Lab to continue more research on Area Zero and the Paradox Pokémon as part of the Tera Project, leaving their son Arven behind to take care of himself. Not long before the events of the game, Arven would enter Area Zero in an attempt to find his parent, only for his Mabosstiff to be attacked by a creature he describes as either "rampaging"^S or "metallic, machine"^V. This injures it to the point where all attempts at using traditional medicine failed to heal it, until he decides to ask the player for assistance, setting into motion the events of the game.

Places of interest

Research Stations

There are four Research Stations located around Area Zero. Upon entering Area Zero for the first time, Professor Sada^S/Professor Turo^V request that the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny visit all four Research Stations to deactivate the locks of the Zero Lab, where they reside. Each of the Research Stations have a warp tile which can teleport the player to the Zero Gate or any of the other Research Stations, if they have already been visited. There is also a bed in each, where the player can rest and heal their party.

Each of the Research Stations have journals which describe Professor Sada's^S/Professor Turo's^V efforts in studying the Terastal phenomenon, as well as Koraidon and the ancient past^S/Miraidon and the distant future^V.

Zero Lab

Main article: Zero Lab

The Zero Lab is where Professor Sada^S/Professor Turo^V conducted their research. It is located at the very bottom of Area Zero.

Strange symbols

A huge cavern where the ground has strange symbols inscribed on its ground. It's unknown who or what inscribed them there, but Heath ponderd if they could've been left by past explorers sent by the Paldean empire or even older still.

Metal plate

A big metalic plate inscribed with symbols similar to Paldea's present day map located in the same cavern the previous strange symbols were inscribed in. The material the plate is made of is extremely resistent and it's unknown how and why it was created.

Area Zero Underdepths

Main article: Area Zero Underdepths

A large cavern and an extention of Area Zero, located about 3,300 feet under the surface, it appears to have formed about 2 million years ago. It is located under the Zero Lab and by extention, under Area Zero itself. It is so deep underground that it can only be inhabited by Glimmet, Glimmora, Carbink, and several wild Tera Pokémon. It's also where the only known living Terapagos slumbers.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here. Probability weight indicates the likelihood that a Pokémon will spawn at a certain point in this location relative to others that can spawn there. A higher probability weight generally indicates that a Pokémon is more likely to spawn. Pokémon with the highest or lowest level requirements may not spawn in every possible location within this area. A bolded level range replaces the Pokémon's non-bolded level range after the player has completed The Way Home.

A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here. Probability weight indicates the likelihood that a Pokémon will spawn at a certain point in this location relative to others that can spawn there. A higher probability weight generally indicates that a Pokémon is more likely to spawn. Pokémon with the highest or lowest level requirements may not spawn in every possible location within this area. A bolded level range replaces the Pokémon's non-bolded level range after the player has completed The Way Home.

Trivia

• Despite the area's heavy association with the Terastal phenomenon, wild Tera Pokémon cannot be found in Area Zero.
• The Paldean Pokédex does not list Area Zero as a spawn location for any of the Pokémon that spawn there, and is also the only area in the game without any form of map.
• The Paldean Pokédex states that Glimmet has a "very rare" spawn chance. However, they are quite common in Area Zero, despite appearing rarely in the rest of Paldea, potentially implying some connection between Glimmet and Area Zero.
  • This connection is reinforced by also commonly being found around the Crystal Pool.
• The fact that White Flower Floette is the only form that spawns in Area Zero may be referencing the death of Professor Sada/Professor Turo, due to the fact that white blossoms, (specifically the white Chrysanthemum flower in Japan), symbolize grief, and are often used in funerals.
• Every moth-based Pokémon present in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can be found in Area Zero, namely Venomoth, Masquerain, Volcarona, Frosmoth, Slither Wing^S, and Iron Moth^V. This may be a reference to moths' perceived attraction to light, given Area Zero's extremely bright surface and caverns filled with glowing crystals. It may also be another reference to death, which moths often symbolize.
• Area Zero is internally referred to as Atlantis in the game's files.
