Here’s what you need to know about how to get all starter Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s The Indigo Disk and where to find them.

You can find all Starter Pokemon locations in The Indigo Disk by buying the League Club Support Board and purchasing the 3,000 BP Biome Diversity upgrades. These will give you access to the Starter Pokemon in each region, and then you can freely capture them to your heart’s content as you explore Blueberry Academy.

There are four upgrades for the unique biomes that you have to unlock in The Indigo Disk. They are required for every Starter Pokemon in The Indigo Disk. You should be able to find each Starter Pokemon throughout these regions, expanding your Blueberry Pokedex. It does require a good amount of BP for these unlocks, and you can earn this by playing through The Indigo Disk story.

All Starter Pokemon Biome Unlocks in The Indigo Disk

When you’re looking for a specific Starter Pokemon location to unlock in The Indigo Disk, you’ll want to purchase the Biodiversity upgrade from the Support Board in the League Club room. Each of the four upgrades comes with more than five Starter Pokemon, giving you additional reasons to explore the rest of the Terarium at Blueberry Academy.

However, when you’re hovering over them, there’s no notification or information detailing it. Thankfully, we have you covered, and we’ve listed out each Biome the Starter Pokemon appears in after you upgrade the Teraraium in The Indigo Disk.
