-The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years before the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in [[Area Zero]] within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero expedition team, an author and natural historian named [[Heath]], wrote about these sightings in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. During the expedition, a member of the team was fatally injured by a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} that attacked them, and another survey team member managed to take a photograph of the encountered Paradox Pokémon. They at some point also encountered a [[Koraidon (Pokémon)|Winged King]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (Pokémon)|Iron Serpent]]{{sup/9|V}} that was used in Heath's [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}'s cover.

After encountering each of the known Paradox Pokémon, Heath named each of them in his journal, but not following the regular Pokémon naming conventions.
 At some point, the team's sketch artist made a drawing inspired by the Paradox Pokémon they had seen, imagining what other species in the crater might look like, which resembled a combined version of the [[Legendary beast]]s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}. {{p|Walking Wake}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Leaves}}{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} would be later discovered, resembling the sketch, but their connection is unclear. It is unclear how these first Paradox Pokémon arrived in Paldea, but they were supposedly brought over by {{p|Terapagos}} due to its [[Terastal energy]]. At the time, the Paradox Pokémon were believed to have been fabricated by Heath, thus not being considered real. As a result, Heath and his team were widely discredited. The Paradox Pokémon faded into obscurity and research on them ended for a time. None of these Paradox Pokémon similar to these groups are found in [[Paldea]]'s [[Pokédex]], but instead, [[Blueberry Academy]]'s.
 =====Project Tera=====
-years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Paradox Pokémon claimed to be from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were brought to Area Zero using a [[time machine]] built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} through Terapagos's Terastal energy. The professor is said to have used the time machine to send [[Poké Ball]]s to different points in the timeline. The Poké Balls then caught the Paradox Pokémon, before [[Time travel|bringing them into modern time]]. The reason the professor created the time machine was because they were fascinated with the Paradox Pokémon after reading about them from the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}.

 The professor conducted research on these Pokémon, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. This goal would be called Project Tera. At some point, the professor created an AI version of themselves, to assist in research on Paradox Pokémon, using the very same [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastal energy]] that helped create the time machine. However, due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. At some point, security blocks and a Poké Ball Lock System were created to help both protect the time machine and Paradox Pokémon.
-The player's {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that the professor was killed by the second specimen while defending the first. Because of this, the Paradox Pokémon would continue to arrive in the present and eventually form their own population in Area Zero. Meanwhile, the professor's AI counterpart realized that the project was a mistake and that their creator's dreams were doomed to failure; however, their programming prevented them from doing anything that might stop the project directly.

At some point, the professor also renamed the species from Winged King{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Serpent{{sup/9|V}} to Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, taking the name from a [[player|child]] after they found themselves in an [[Crystal Pool|unfamiliar place]].

-Later, shortly before the events of Scarlet and Violet, a lone {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} escaped Area Zero like others did and become a [[Titan Pokémon]] after eating the [[Herba Mystica]] while roaming the [[Asado Desert]].
