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 AcademyS/Uva AcademyV 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
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 BookS/Violet BookV. 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 SadaS/Professor TuroV 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. They are facilities constructed 87 years ago as way stations for those surveying Area Zero. Upon entering Area Zero for the first time, Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV requests that the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny visits all four Research Stations to deactivate the locks of the Zero Lab, where they reside. Each of the Research Stations has a warp panel 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 Research Station has journals which describe Professor Sada'sS/Professor Turo'sV efforts in studying Terastallization, Terastal energy, ancient PokémonS/future PokémonV, and the being linked to the Terastallization.

Zero Lab
- Main article: Zero Lab
The Zero Lab is where Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV conducted their research. It is located at the very bottom of Area Zero. It's also where the Professor built their time machine, allowing them to bring ancient PokémonS/future PokémonV to Area Zero. Through the Indigo Disk, the lab's elevator can move down to Area Zero Underdepths.
Strange symbols
In a huge cavern, strange symbols have been inscribed into its ground. It's unknown who or what inscribed them there, but Heath pondered if they could have 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 resistant and it's unknown how and why it was created.
Area Zero Underdepths
- Main article: Area Zero Underdepths
Area Zero Underdepths is a large cavern and an extension of Area Zero. It's located about 3,300 feet (1 kilometer) under the surface and appears to have formed about 2 million years ago. It is located under the Zero Lab and by extension, under Area Zero itself. It is solely inhabited by Glimmet, Glimmora, Carbink, and a few wild Terastallized Pokémon. It is also where the last of the Legendary Pokémon 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. |
- ↑ Due to a quirk in the spawning mechanics, when it is day, Flutter Mane will spawn and despawn so rapidly that they will not appear visible to the player at all, unless the player is in a Union Circle session, in which case they will appear briefly. This behavior does not apply to Shiny Flutter Mane, as Shiny Pokémon are immune to being despawned by such mechanics, nor does it apply during night.[1]

After finishing The Way Home, the player can encounter the other KoraidonS/MiraidonV on a small, raised plateau at the very bottom of Area Zero.
Koraidon will always have an Adamant Nature, while Miraidon will always have a Modest Nature. If defeated, they can be battled again after the game has been rebooted, provided that over one hour has passed in Nintendo Switch's internal clock since their defeat. They are coded to never be Shiny.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Area Zero was first mentioned in HZ057, where Geeta revealed that it is managed by the Paldea Pokémon League, and that a Pokémon resembling Terapagos was once sighted there. Liko, Roy, and Dot showed interest in seeing the place in person, but Clavell revealed that an accident happened there recently, and that entering wasn't possible at the moment. Geeta assured the trio that she'd accompany them there someday.
In HZ071, Area Zero appeared in a flashback when Briar narrated about her ancestor Heath's expedition into the uncharted area, where he had encountered a Terapagos.
In HZ075, it's revealed in a flashback that 100 years prior to the events of series, Rystal found her Terapagos Pagogo while exploring the Great Crater of Paldea, in Area Zero. It's left unclear if Pagogo is the same Terapagos Heath encountered during his expedition.

In the TCG
Area Zero makes a minor appearance in the background of a card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, being Explorer's Guidance from Temporal Forces, a set with a focus on various Paradox Pokémon. The card depicts an explorer within the upper fields of Area Zero, carrying a copy of the Scarlet Book.

Trivia
- Despite the area's heavy association with the Terastal phenomenon, wild Tera Pokémon cannot be found in Area Zero, except in the Underdepths.
- 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 WingS, and Iron MothV. 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.
- Volcarona is the only Pokémon with Paradox Pokémon relatives to be found in Area Zero and in the same area as them.
- Area Zero is internally referred to as Atlantis in the game's files.
