How To Get Limited Edition Pokemon At Union Circle

Travel With The Main Trainer In A Different Version

When Multiple players are nearby, the Pokemon in the field are synchronized, so if you are near someone with a different version of the Pokemon, you may see a Pokemon that is Exclusive to the their version. Talk via chat or other means of communication to plan and gather at a location where the desired Pokemon appears to obtain it.

Version Exclusive Pokemon May Appear In Area Zero

▲Sample of Multiplaying with a Union Circle member with a different version (Violet Limited)

Also in Area Zero, each player's view of the area (including Pokemon appearing nearby) are synchronized, so there's a high chance that an Exclusive Pokemon from a different version will appear. Since it is synchronized, anyone on the Union Circle may be able to defeat and catch the Pokemon even if it is limited originally to their version at hand.

Communication Is A Must

It is recommended to communicate with others in Area Zero as you cannot see others in this specific area. Communicate your current location or let the know which Research Station you are at, so everyone knows each other's locations.
