Tips for Capturing Zygarde in Pokémon Legends Z-A
To get the legendary friend Zygarde on your team, players must first roll up their sleeves and capture both Xerneas and Yveltal—because why make it simple? After successfully catching these two, it’s time to return to the illustrious Hotel Z. Upon arrival, prepare for a showdown with L, who apparently enjoys throwing high-rated challenges at unsuspecting trainers. Full teams are recommended to endure this epic quest.
Once L is soundly defeated and feeling very unaccomplished, Zygarde makes its grand entrance, calling you to the base of Prism Tower, located in Wild Zone 20. News flash: no Alpha Pokémon will be lurking around this spot during the Zygarde encounter, so the only thing to worry about is… well, Zygarde itself. Talk to it to kick off the battle. Nothing says ‘legendary’ like a little chit-chat.
First up is Zygarde in its 10% form, a mere Level 84. This form isn’t too intimidating as it’s weak against Ice-type moves. So, grab those frosty Pokémon and get ready to make this Legendary feel the chill!
Next up is Zygarde’s slightly more intimidating 50% form. The same Ice-type strategy remains effective; powerful Ice-types can bring this form down to size. Using moves like Blizzard to set up traps is a neat way to deal gradual damage, just avoid playing too reckless; don’t want this battle ending in an embarrassing defeat.
Finally, the grand showdown with Zygarde’s Complete Form awaits, and it’s more dangerous than your average cat on a bad hair day. As it levitates high above the battlefield and throws some serious attacks down, dodging left and right is key to survival. Getting tagged by its attack is a surefire way to end the match, meaning those previous two forms will become annoying acquaintances once again.
Moreover, keep an eye out for those glowing green patches on the arena floor. Jumping out of harm’s way is essential when they appear, unless taking major damage sounds like a fun idea. Once considerably weakened, Zygarde can be caught with any Poké Ball of choice, making it an easy but glorious addition to any Pokedex.
