Pokemon Legends: Z-A Shiny Charm 1000 battles guide

Posted on 6 days 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.

Posted on 6 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Pokemon Legends: Z-A seems to be off to a solid start in terms of worldwide sales, but in Europe specifically, things are on the slower side.

We’re hearing that the game’s launch sales are 28 percent lower than Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Z-A had the lowest debut for a mainline entry since Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eveee in 2018.

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.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Xerneas location guide

Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

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

As a Legendary Pokemon, it takes a while before you can catch Xerneas – more specifically, you’ll have to clear Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s main story. That should take somewhere around 20 hours if you’re rushing, with a few extra hours tacked on if you take on side quests. Since the game forces autosave to be left on, it’s impossible to fail Xerneas. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and the mission won’t be cleared until you catch it. That may take a while, though – Xerneas traditionally has a low catch rate!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Yveltal location guide

Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

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!
