Pokemon Legends Z-A Yveltal location guide

We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Yveltal, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.

As you might expect, you won’t be able to catch Yveltal until you clear the game’s main story. If you’re rushing, you can reach the final boss within 20 hours or so, tacking on a few extra hours if you’re clearing side content along the way. Since Pokemon Legends: Z-A forces the player to use autosave, it is actually impossible to fail catching Yveltal. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and ask you to try again. As a cover art Legendary Pokemon, Yveltal has a low catch rate. Expect this one to take a while!

After clearing the main story, L will appear and you’ll receive two new main missions: The One That Gives and The One That Takes. As the Pokemon of death and destruction, Yveltal is the one that takes. For this mission, you’ll need to seek out Grisham and Griselle at the cafe. They’ll redirect you to Quasartico Inc.’s main building, where you’ll meet Vinnie. He’ll ask you to re-challenge Rogue Mega Victreebel, Rogue Mega Hawlucha, and Rogue Mega Tyranitar, who all appear at Level 70. That means they’re stronger than their initial battles, but if your Pokemon are Level 80-90 you should be all set and have little trouble taking them down. Once done, Yveltal will appear on the roof of the Galerie de la Lune, which is a giant dome with several boutiques inside. Get on the roof using the nearby scaffolding and you’ll be able to challenge Yveltal at Level 75.

As mentioned earlier, if you accidentally KO Yveltal, it will simply respawn and you will have to catch it to clear the mission. It’s Shiny locked as well. Notably, it can heal itself with Oblivion Wing, so take care not to use a Pokemon weak to it – otherwise, Yveltal will restore all its health and become even tougher to catch. Whittle its HP down over time and see if you can paralyze it, if possible. That should make things a whole lot easier. In the meantime, stay tuned for more Pokemon Legends: Z-A guides.
