Wild Zone 18 Location
Once Wild Zone 18 opens up, it's accessible from the northwest corner of the map right on the edge of the Magenta District.
You can either access it from North Boulevard or from Magenta Sector 8. You can also access it from the rooftops, and you'll need to if you want to get all the 'mons here.
How to unlock
You'll need to reach Rank B in the Z-A Royale before this Zone opens up to the public; so that means beating Jacinthe and completing Main Mission 30.
All Wild Zone 18 Pokémon
Once again, there are only 6 Pokémon to catch here, though you'll need to come at this area from both the ground and the rooftops, accessible from the north side of the zone.
Make sure you're around or above level 46 before jumping in here. You can see why if you're coming in from the ground...

Best Wild Zone 18 Pokémon to catch
You're priority here should absolutely be Bagon, which evolves into the powerful Salamence. Of course, easier said than done with the Alpha roaming around — you'll need to take it our or at least get lucky.
If you haven't caught Fennekin or Noibat, then here's a great place to knock both of those out, too.
