Pokemon LEGENDS: Z-A - Recent Happenings Thread

I caught like 50 pumpkaboo but I finally got that jumbo quest done. As a bonus vanillish leveled up quite a bit, but I'm mostly just glad the quest is over, lol.

So as always, I set out to complete the Pokédex catching every species in a regular Pokeball.

I’ve been playing since the DLC came out to complete the Hyperspace Dex, getting frustrated by the RNG rolls of hoping my special scan will give me new species for the Dex.

I got fed up at points and took breaks. But this week I locked in, it’s Pokémon Day tomorrow after all, my mission was to complete it by tonight because I wanted them all ready for Pokemon day.

I started the week needing 5 legendaries, Latios, Latias, Keldeo, Cobalion, and Meloetta. Each evening I added a new one after grinding for hyperspace scan points and tonight was the night, one Pokémon stood in my way. Meloetta.

I was close to giving up because I kept getting the Eevee lvl 200 special hyperspace zone. It got frustrating but the Meloetta finally appeared.

I went in searching for it, and one of the last missions I had to complete before finding the Meloetta scan was my least favourite tasks of them all “Catch Pokemon undetected”. So I quickly switched to Ultra balls to speed up the process….i think we all know where im going here.

I locate Meloetta, I save when I find her, then straight away throw my first ball……which was by mistake an ultra ball, before I realised, Meloetta was caught. I quickly exit and reset the game but it was too late, Meloetta was caught.

So now I have the entire ZA Pokédex in pokeballs with the exception of Meloetta who is in an Ultra Ball. I feel like I just wasted months of work because in my mind I failed my mission.

Binacle joins my list of Pokemon that was the one for the “Catch a Shiny Pokemon” task where I did not have a matching Sparkling Power 3 active. Also got an unexpected shiny Machamp while grinding out a large Hyperspace Wild Zone using a Level 3 Item Power: Berries donut. Finally got a Fighting Wild Zone with Falinks after resting at the hotel a couple of times to use a donut with Sparkling Power 3 for Fighting-types.

One of the other Pokémon for said zone was Hawlucha which ended up being my guaranteed shiny. Thankfully got the small park layout so was able to “fast travel spam” to also nab my original target.

My (Mega)Froslass dominated Garchomp-Z. He was trying to Hyper Beam me over and over... This fight should've been at least as hard as vs Crabominable duo... Developers should've given it a Fire move for Ice and Steel Types.
I believe it has Hyper Beam, Draco Meteor, Earth Power and not sure what else. And lv 110 is not impressing since freaking Mego Chimecho is like lv 140.

Yeah similarly I challenged it with regular mega Garchomp. It was a short fight that never became a challenge. I overestimated it a bit.

I like how the regular pokeball looks so I caught my Diancie in one. I hope someday soon I can put her in HOME as I never had a Diancie before.

And I used one of my better donuts and ended up with like 7 extra minutes.


It's one of those dissapointments when you expect at least 20 minutes of time but you end up with 3...

Yeah. I didn't want to look it up but I assumed because this might the final legends z-a mega that it might be more of intense battle. Still at least it does offer something different for Garchomp.

I caught Xerneas!! And a shiny male Pansear on my way there! His name is Jalepeno.

All I am missing from my dex now is Yvetal and Zygarde and 4 eeveelutions (I'm trying to get them as alphas from wild zone 20. I have Flareon, Sylveon, Glaceon, and Leafeon so far.)

Just a quick heads up, Umbreon and Espeon cannot spawn as random Alphas in Wild Zone 20, so you have to evolve them yourself unless you have the DLC. Although with the Cafés it's very fast.

 

[UltraGlitterCat]

Good to know. I will keep an eye out for Jolteon and Vaporeon then and bring Eevees to the cafe to complete the set. Thank you! Also I have Yvetal now.
