Pokemon Legends: Z-A Shiny Charm 1000 battles guide
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’re back today with another guide on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time covering how to quickly reach the 1000 battles needed for the Shiny Charm.
Getting the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is fairly simple: complete all of Mable’s research tasks. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, though – many of these research tasks are purposefully repetitive to prevent you from getting the coveted Shiny Charm too early. These are all self-explanatory for the most part; many of the tasks will have you catching Pokemon of a certain type until you’ve caught 50 of every type in the game. The final task most players will need to complete is to win 1000 trainer battles, which as you might expect, takes a very long time. We’ve compiled a list of tips that will hopefully make those 1000 battles pass faster.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A glitch found to duplicate shiny Pokemon
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.
Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other. That’s because if you trade one away and keep one, they are not treated as clones. Pokemon Home has a clone check system.
Below are the steps for the Shiny Pokemon duplication glitch in Pokemon Legends: Z-A:

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Zygarde location guide
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve sharing another Pokemon Legends: Z-A location guide, this time for Zygarde.
It’s been over a week since the release of the game, and we assume some of you might be wondering how to catch Zygarde, the game’s titular Legendary Pokemon. As you might expect, Zygarde is the final Legendary Pokemon available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and you’ll need to clear the main story in order to access it. It’s a guaranteed capture, though, which means you can use any Poke Ball you want with no chance of failure. It also means you definitely shouldn’t use a Master Ball.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A The World’s Greatest Pikachu quest guide
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those playing Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we have a guide specifically for The World’s Greatest Pikachu quest.
Most of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s side quests are self-explanatory. Technically, this one is too – but despite being centered around a fairly weak Pokemon, The World’s Greatest Pikachu is actually one of the tougher missions you’ll take on. You’ll be able to accept this mission in Rouge Sector 1’s battle court, in which you’ll need to fight and defeat a grade-schooler’s Pikachu who he claims is the strongest in the world. Indeed, there’s one problem here: this Pikachu is Level 66 and has a Light Ball, and you can’t obtain a Light Ball of your own until you finish this mission. Here’s how we cleared it.
