Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: All Area Zero (The Great Crater of Paldea) encounters

One of the most enigmatic aspects of the new region introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the large crater that can be found at its center. It is likely that players have heard about the place a number of times during their playthrough, although it is only much later that they will get access to the place.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced trainers to the new Generation 9. Set in the vast expanse of Paldea, the latest titles bring a plethora of gameplay mechanics like Auto Battle, Paradox forms, and Terastal phenomenon. The regional Pokedex has 400 entries for players to fill during their exploration of the wilderness.

So, what Pokemon can players catch in Area Zero?

The long-anticipated release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet did not go exactly as well as Game Freak would've had hoped. This is because fans and critics severely criticized the tiles for their technical and performance issues.

In a recent announcement, Nintendo acknowledged being aware of the feedback and said that they are working to provide a more positive experience for their players.

Meanwhile, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have sold more than 10 million units cumulatively within the first three days of the worldwide launch. The record sale made them the biggest console-exclusive launch of all time.
