With the update, a certain rare Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s conditions for appearing in-game have been discovered, and the process is so complicated users found it hard to believe at first. <strong>Please note that the following article contains spoilers for The Indigo Disk.<\/strong>\u00a0<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon Scarlet &amp; Pokemon Violet DLC: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2 - Official Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hdbxquqdLKI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indigo Disk features past Legendary Pok\u00e9mon as well as Mythical Pok\u00e9mon. Legendary Pok\u00e9mon can be encountered by completing the story, acquiring the right treats from Snacksworth, and heading to designated locations. On the other hand, Mythical Pok\u00e9mon don\u2019t require treats, so you can encounter them even without completing the story, but since they don\u2019t have designated locations, you must search for them yourself. Recently, users have been taken aback by the elaborate steps you need to take to encounter Meloetta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231216-276431-001.jpg\" alt=\"Meloetta in The Indigo Disk\" class=\"wp-image-24573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231216-276431-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231216-276431-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231216-276431-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231216-276431-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meloetta is a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon that first appeared in 2012, and with the release of The Indigo Disk, it\u2019s finally become possible to catch it. But here\u2019s what you need to do in order to encounter it \u2013 First, get to the Terrarium and fly to the Coastal Outdoor Classroom in the Coastal Biome. Then, proceed to the grassy field east of the Outdoor Classroom. In the field, you have to locate a whirlwind of leaves spinning clockwise. Stand in the center of the leaves and start spinning clockwise for about 10-20 seconds. When you\u2019re done spinning, get your camera out and select the Sepia Filter. You should start hearing Meloetta\u2019s Relic Song shortly, and you should be able to spot the Pok\u00e9mon in your surroundings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon learning of the unusual procedure, many users\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AD%E3%82%A8%E3%83%83%E3%82%BF&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first reaction<\/a> was to be skeptical about whether it\u2019s even real, but doing this really does allow you to encounter the super rare Mythical Pok\u00e9mon.
