Wild Zone 9 stretches high into the sky, serving as a collection of buildings, scaffolding, and hard-to-reach places. That's gotta mean there's some good Pokémon here, right?
Well, in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there's always something worth catching. So here's a guide on every available Pokémon and Alpha in Wild Zone 9!

Wild Zone 9 Location
A change up from the past two, Wild Zone 9 is on the very corner of the Magenta Sector, bordering Estival Avenue and opposite the Bleu Sector.
It's directly southwest of Prism Tower, and is full of a lot of building work.
How to unlock
You'll be able to catch Pokémon here at the same time as Wild Zone 7 and 8 — right after you defeat Vinnie and reach Rank F in the Z-A Royale.
Once again, this is during Main Mission 10; you'll be notified when the new Zone opens up
All Wild Zone 9 Pokémon
A new zone, and 6 more Wild Pokémon to catch. These are split between evolutions you already have, a familiar face, and three unique 'mons.
Once again, there's a big jump in recommended levels here — 25, so be prepared.

Best Wild Zone 9 Pokémon to catch
Admittedly, in terms of variety, Wild Zone 9 is a little lacking; you likely have most of the 'mons from here already as they're evolutions of previous ones.
Obviously, there are three unique ones here — Carbink, Mawile, and Sableye — with the latter two having Mega Evolutions. So if you fancy some Fairy-types (or a 'mon only weak to Fairy), then grab these.
