Ever found yourself scratching your head over how to evolve that adorable ice dinosaur, Amaura, in the mystical land of Pokémon Legends Z-A? Fear not, for this guide is here to clear the frosty fog! Spoiler alert: it doesn’t involve performing any weird rituals at midnight under a full moon, though one might wonder if that would actually help.
Where oh Where to Find Amaura
- First, head on over to the Stone Emporium and purchase a Fossil. No, not the kind that would be in your grandma’s basement from the ’70s, but a shiny new Pokémon fossil!
Once in possession of this glorious fossil, locate the research lab. It’s just a quick hop, skip, and a jump away from the emporium—unless a wild Pokémon is determined to ruin your day, of course. Speak with the overly enthusiastic NPC on the second floor who will gladly restore that fossil for you. Just don’t mention which fossil you’re getting; it’s a fixture of age-old rivalry.
How to Get Amaura to Experience Evolution
Here’s the twist: Amaura doesn’t evolve through the usual method of simply leveling up like a good little Pokémon. Oh no, it has to reach Level 39…but only during the nighttime!
Nighttime, the perfect moment when all those late-night snacks come calling. Level Amaura up through battles, which let’s be honest, will help discover who the real champions are—or by stuffing it with various experience candy found scattered throughout the game, resembling actual candy wrappers on a Sunday morning after a gaming marathon.
Shiny Hunting for the Glittery Amaura
Shiny hunting for Amaura is easier than finding a needle in a pile of hay, assuming the hay is overly cheerful confetti in a birthday party and quite possibly more entertaining.
To make the process even more delightful, stash away some coins for this adventure. A turbo controller might also be the secret sauce to leveling up Amaura quickly and efficiently, akin to cheating at a game of Mario Kart with turbo boosts—always a controversial topic!
