Players have a special relationship with Starter Pokémon, as they are the first partner many players get when playing a Pokémon game. Every Stater is now obtainable in Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk, though you might have a hard time finding them at first.
When you first arrive at Blueberry Academy and gain access to the Terarium, the urge to run off and try to find yourself a Charmander or Rowlet might be strong. That will have to wait until you progress the DLC’s story and gain access to the Blueberry League’s Club Room since they won’t even appear until you upgrade the Terarium itself.
How to unlock every Starter Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
After finishing the intro to the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk story, you can talk to Carmine at the Central Plaza and you will gain access to the League Club Room. Inside, you can contribute Blueberry Points (BP) you earn by completing quests in the Terarium to unlock new items and features—such as the Item Printer and new Throwing Styles.
Toward the bottom of the club listings, you will find four different requests to “boost biodiversity” within the Terarium’s Biomes. Each contribution costs a hefty 3,000 BP, or 12,000 BP total, but will cause new species of Pokémon to spawn across the academy, namely all 24 Starter Pokémon from Gen I to VIII. So you better get grinding Blueberry Quests (BBQs) if you want to unlock all four upgrades!
Every Starter Pokémon spawn location and where to find them in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk, once you upgrade one of the four Terarium Biomes—Coastal, Savanna, Canyon, or Polar—a handful of Starter Pokémon will begin spawning in select locations. In total, six Starter Pokémon will spawn per Biome, leaving you to track down their habitats within each, which we have already done for you.
If you are struggling to find a specific Starter Pokémon, don’t worry. Each species only spawns in one place in the Terarium and is considered a rare encounter, which means they don’t spawn as frequently as some other Pokémon. Just keep looking once you have gotten the right upgrade and located their habitat!
