When you reach the end of the story, you enter the underworld of Area Zero for a bombastic climax to the story. However, as you explore the area unlocking the crystal gates, you might have found one room that remains locked off. There is a hidden Stellar Pokémon you can defeat, which will open this door, and inside are a number of fantastic rewards.

Here’s how to open the secret room in Area Zero.

The hidden Stellar Pokémon is deep within the underworld and can be found in a secret area off from the room with the spiral ramp. As soon as you enter the room, turn right, and you will enter a small gap that leads to a room with two big crystal platforms. You can fly up to the platform on the opposite side, and there will be another small room with a Stellar Garchomp inside. Defeat it, and a door will open elsewhere.

Return to the room just before the spiral slope, and you will see a wall with a large crystal embedded in the side. Climb up this wall, and a room that was previously blocked off will now be open, and you can enter the secret room.
