Legends Z-A has three Legendary Pokémon in the form of Zygarde, Xerneas, and Yveltal, and adding all three to your collection is going to take a significant amount of time. Zygarde, incidentally, will appear during the main campaign, unlike Xerneas and Yveltal. However, you’ll need to complete the main story, and then your pursuit for the Legendaries begins. Table of contents How to catch Xerneas in Pokémon Legends Z-A The One That Gives How to catch Yveltal in Pokémon Legends Z-A The One That Takes How to catch Zygarde in Pokémon Legends Z-A How to catch Xerneas in Pokémon Legends Z-A Once you beat the campaign, you will wake up in the hotel and learn about Infinite Royale. Your first battle will be against Zach (your first Battle Royale fight). Once you defeat him, return to the HHotel, and you’ll get to encounter The One That Gives and The One That Takes quests. The One That Gives The first part of the task involves defeating three Alphas that appear in the wild. Go to the Pokémon Research Center and speak with Mable, who will inform you about what needs to be done. Wild Zone 3: Steelix (level 70) Wild Zone 5: Gallade (level 70) Wild Zone 9: Pangoro (level 70) Screenshot by Destructoid After defeating all three Alphas, head to Wild Zone 11. You’ll find a marker on the other side of the river, and you’ll find a Level 75 Xerneas at the location. Use Poison and Steel types to have a natural advantage. If you fail to catch Xerneas, you’ll need to begin the encounter from the start. Go with them to Quasartico Inc. and speak with Vinnie. You’ll have to fight the Mega Evolved forms of Victreebell, Hawlucha, and Tyranitar. The One That Takes The three Mega Evolutions you face are pretty strong, and you won’t have any allies. If you can’t dodge well, you can blackout after taking multiple hits. This will force you to restart the battle from the start. Once you clear all three Megas, you’ll encounter Yveltal on the rooftop of Galerie de la Lune in the northern part of Lumiose City. Screenshot by Destructoid Being a Dark/Flying type, Yveltal is susceptible to Electric and Ice. You can also use Fairy-types that typically will do well against it. erneas, make sure to catch Yveltal to avoid starting the quest from the beginning and fighting it again. How to catch Zygarde in Pokémon Legends Z-A Once you have caught both Xerneas and Yveltal, return to Hotel Z. Lysandre will approach you, whom you’ll have to beat. Here’s his Pokémon squad in order of their appearance. Pyroar (level 78) Normal/Fire Florges (level 78) Fairy Sableye (level 78) Dark/Ghost Garbodor (level 78) Poison Noivern (level 78) Flying/Dragon Mega Gyarados (level 80) Water/Dark Once you defeat Lysandre, head over to Wild Zone 20 (right in the center of Lumiose City). Zygarde will spawn over there, and this is one of the hardest battles you can encounter. Screenshot by Destructoid Zygarde is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokémon, and it’s weak against Ice, Fairy, and Dragon-type moves. You can use Yveltal against it. Zygarde will force you to lock onto your current Pokémon. You won’t be able to switch your chosen Pokémon unless it faints. First, defeat Zygarde when it is in its Dog form and at 10% power. Next, defeat it in its Serpent form when it is at 50% power. Finally, defeat Zygarde in its Robot form, when it’s at full power. If you take a hit from its move, you’ll black out. This will force the battle to begin from the start. Once you defeat Zygarde, you’ll also get the Zygardite stone. This stone allows you to Mega Evolve Zygarde during the course of a battle. You can also use the Zygarde Cube (given to you by Lysandre) to switch between the Dog and Serpent form. Like our content?
