Okay, so I’ve been messing around with the new DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. And guess what? They brought back a bunch of old Pokémon! I was so pumped to start hunting them down.
First off, I had to find this dude named Snacksworth. No joke, that’s his name. Apparently, he’s the key to getting these returning Pokémon. He is kind of important role in this returning event. I won’t tell you where to find him exactly. To be honest, I forgot the specific location, haha. But he’s not that hard to miss if you explore a bit.

Once I tracked down Snacksworth, he started giving me these quests. They weren’t too tough, mostly just running around, catching certain Pokémon, and battling some trainers. Nothing too crazy. But these quests are important, you know, that is the core content of this activity.
After completing each quest, Snacksworth would give me a special snack. I knew these snacks were special. These snacks are used to lure out the returning legendary Pokémon. It is kind of interesting, I have to say.
- Articuno: I found this one near a lake. I think it was somewhere between Glaseado Mountain and the Montenevera Pokémon. It was a pretty cool battle. I used my trusty fire-type to take it down. It was so exciting when I finally caught it!
Also, I heard that Meloetta is somewhere in this DLC too, but I haven’t found it yet. It is said that this Pokémon is kind of hard to find. If anyone has any tips, let me know! It must take some time to find it.
Oh, and I almost forgot! There’s a code going around for a Hisuian Zoroark. I think it’s limited to one per person, so don’t go trying to use it multiple times. Just grab it and enjoy your new Pokémon.
So yeah, that’s my adventure so far with the returning Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet. It’s been a blast, and I’m excited to see what else I can find. If you’re playing the DLC, happy hunting! It’s worth to take some time on this DLC.
