Area Zero

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 / Uva Academy 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.
