How to get starter Pokemon in Pokemon Indigo Disk
Starter Pokemon aren’t available right away in the Indigo Disk DLC. In order to catch them, you need to grind out some BBQs and get BP.
To add starter Pokemon to the Terrarium, you need to collect BP and contribute 3,000 BP to the Terarium Club. This will boost the biodiversity of each biome in the Terrarium. Doing this will add Starter Pokemon and more to the biomes. Just make sure to grind BP because you need 12,000 overall to raise the biodiversity in each biome.
All biome upgrades in Pokemon Indigo Disk
There are four Terarium Club upgrades that will increase the number of Pokemon in the Terarium. These include:
- Canyon Biome upgrade
- Coastal Biome upgrade
- Polar Biome upgrade
- Savanna Biome Upgrade
Each of these upgrades will not only add the starter Pokemon to the Terarium but will also add additional Pokemon to each biome. As stated above, each of these upgrades will cost you 3,000BP so you better get to saving.
