Research Camp Alternate Routes

Alternate Route 1 - Into the Lab

As you approach the lab from either starting point, scanning will bring up the option for you to take a short detour through the lab. Keep in mind that depending on your starting point, the Pokemon inside will be different.

Choose Between Two Starting Points in Research Camp

When you first unlock research camp, you will start the course near a tree next to the lab and the NEO-ONEs. However, later-on in the game, you can actually unlock a second starting point where you'll start over by the Entrance instead. The distribution of the Pokemon are different depending on which side you start on.

How to Choose Research Camp Starting Point

To select your starting point, you simply have to observe the background presented in the Research Camp main screen. If it features the campsite, you'll be starting at the Entrance of the Research Camp. Conversely, if you see the Lab in the background, you'll be starting on the Lab-side.

If the current background is not the spot you wanted to start on, simply enter the Lab Menu, then exit back to the Research Camp Menu. The background alternates between the two so it shouldn't be too difficult to switch between your choices.

Retrying does not change the starting point

Note that selecting Retry from the pause menu only brings you back at the beginning of the course and does not change the starting point.
