Starter Pokemon Indigo Disk Locations

The latest Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Indigo Disk, breaks a franchise tradition by bringing every starter from all past generations. There have been so many through the years, that you might not remember all of them, so we’ve put a list together to help you can catch ’em all.

Because The Indigo Disk is the final downloadable content Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will get, Game Freak has decided to fill it with cool and extensive content for players to enjoy.

While you explore the Blueberry Academy as an exchange student, you’ll be able to take place in double fights, defeat their Elite Four, and explore the Terarium, a massive area with four different biomes filled with Pokemon waiting to be caught.

As Part 2 of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC is going old-school, players will be able to catch plenty of returning Pokemon that became iconic over time, as well as some new beasts like Terapagos, Archaludon, Iron Crown, and Raging Bolt.
