Here’s a walkthrough for A Request From The Rust Syndicate mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A and tips on how to defeat Rogue Mega Evolutions.
A Request From The Rust Syndicate is one of the longer missions you need to complete in Pokemon Legends Z-A. The story outlines how your rival has a debt to pay with the organization known as the Rust Syndicate. This results in Team MZ having to work with the organization and do a series of odd jobs. Of course, this includes Pokemon battles.
With that said, here is a walkthrough for A Request From The Rust Syndicate mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
How To Complete A Request From The Rust Syndicate in Pokemon Legends Z-A
After completing the Reaching Rank D mission, you need to fast travel to Bleu Plaza. Approach an area with steel gates with Rust Syndicate Grunts standing in front of it. They will challenge you. They will be using Steel-type Pokemon. So build up a team that can counter their lineup. After the fight, Philippe will appear and challenge you to another battle.
How to Defeat Philippe in Battle
Just like the other grunts, Philippe will be using Steel-type Pokemons. This makes it easier to build up a team against him.
Here is a quick rundown of Philippe’s team composition:
| Pokemon | Type | Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steelix | Steel/Ground | 46 | Fire, Water, Fighting, Ground |
| Scizor | Bug/Steel | 46 | Fire (4x) |
| Mega Skarmory | Steel/Flying | 47 | Electric, Fire |
You will have an easier time defeating this team composition with Fire-type moves. However, this battle will be drawn out due to your opponent’s high defense. Make sure you heal up your team using potions when needed.
Speak With Corbeau
After defeating Philippe in battle, he will take you to their boss, who is Corbeau. You then strike a deal with him to reduce the interest on your rival’s debt. You will have to do some errands for him, and you have no other option but to accept to make progress.
After the deal is sealed, you return to Hotel Z and discuss it with your team. The task is to defeat three Rogue Mega Evolved Pokemon.

Once you are done, you head back to Hotel Z, and Corbeau will call you about your next task.
Deal With Troublemaker Pokemon
The next task is to get rid of troublemakers residing in the old building in the Bleu District. Head there, speak with the requester, and you will find out that the troublemakers are Gengar and Ghastly. Take care of them, and then head back to the requester. Corbeau will check on you to make sure you did your job. He will also give you your next assignment after confirming that you successfully got rid of the troublemakers.
Help the Young Lady
Head to the Magenta Pokemon Center for your next task. Nearby, interact with the Young Lady, who will take you to the sewers. Your next goal is to get rid of 27 Mega Crystals in the sewers. Once you’re done, head back to her, and Corbeau will be waiting outside to deliver your next task.
Battle Francois and Vivica
Head to the Centrico Pokemon Center and make your way to the battle court. You will find two more troublemakers, Francois and Vivica, from the Lumoise Society of Battle Connoisseurs, or SBC. You have to initiate battle with them, so here’s a quick rundown of their team compositions.
Francois
| Pokemon | Type | Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gabite | Ground/Dragon | 47 | Ice (4x), Dragon, Fairy |
| Sliggoo | Dragon | 47 | Dragon, Ice, Fairy |
Vivica
| Pokemon | Type | Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aromatise | Fairy | 48 | Steel, Poison |
| Slurpuff | Fairy | 48 | Steel, Poison |
After the battle ends, Corbeau will appear once again, which scares off the two troublemakers. After a brief cutscene, you hear trouble from a nearby bank. You will then encounter the Lumiose Safety Group and battle them to save the Mayor. This will be the last leg of the mission.
Here is a quick rundown of your opponent’s team.
| Pinsir | Bug | 48 | Flying, Rock, Fire |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onix | Rock/Ground | 48 | Water (4x), Grass (4x), Ice, Fighting, Ground, Steel |
| Glalie | Ice | 49 | Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel |
Once you finish the battle, you go through a cutscene before heading back to Hotel Z. You share what happened with your team, and Corbeau will give you another call. This time, he asks you to pay them another visit at the Rust Syndicate Headquarters.
Head inside the building, finish the dialougues, and you complete A Request From The Rust Syndicate mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Following this, the Reaching Rank C missions start.
