Learn how to complete A Feisty Chespin side quest in Pokemon Legends Z-A, defeat the stubborn Chespin, and earn rewards.

A Feisty Chespin in Pokemon Legends Z-A is a side quest that becomes available after finishing Main Mission 5: The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower. By this point, Lumiose City opens up and you start spotting new side missions across different sectors. This one is among the first that stands out for giving you an actual Pokemon as a reward rather than just items or money.
You get this mission from Axi, who is stuck near Hibernal Avenue because an aggressive Chespin is blocking her taxi. The small Pokemon is literally picking a fight with her vehicle and refuses to move. Your task is simple: calm it down, which you do through battle; three times in a row.

You will only see this quest appear once you complete the early game setup with Emma’s missions. After clearing her three required side quests and defeating her in a battle, new side missions start showing up across Lumiose City. They are marked by white and blue exclamation points on your map.
Head to Hibernal Avenue, which stretches diagonally between North Boulevard and Centrico Plaza. The exact spot you are looking for is near Rouge Sector 2, close to Restaurant Le Wow and the Wild Zone 3 entrance. There, you will find Axi next to her taxi and the troublesome Chespin standing in front of it.
If you prefer using fast travel, you can use any of these locations:
- Centrico Pokemon Center (closest healing point)
- Restaurant Le Wow (directly beside the quest area)
- Rouge Plaza (connects to Wild Zone 3)
Once you reach Axi, talk to her, and she will ask you to deal with the Chespin. The moment you agree, the battle begins immediately.

The Chespin you face is Level 14, with the Grass typing and Overgrow ability, which powers up its Grass moves when its HP drops low. Its Nature is Impish, meaning its Defence is higher, but Special Attack is lower. The mission is structured around three consecutive battles against this same Chespin.
After every battle, Chespin’s HP fully restores, and it challenges you again right away. You cannot leave or heal automatically, so managing your Pokemon’s health is critical. If your team faints, you will have to restart all three battles from the beginning.
A good strategy is to use type advantages. Chespin is weak against Fire, Flying, and Bug-type moves. By this point in the game, you may already have caught a Fletchling (Flying/Normal), Growlithe (Fire), or obtained a Heracross from Side Mission 2: A Use for an Evolution Stone.
Once you beat Chespin three times, it finally cools down and joins your party. The game automatically adds it to your team, so make sure you have an empty slot before starting.

After calming down the fiery little Grass-type, you get 1,000 Pokemon Dollars, 3 Exp. Candy XS, and 1 Exp. Candy S. The real prize, though, is Chespin itself. Your new companion always comes at Level 14, has the Impish Nature, and its gender is random.
From there, it evolves pretty quickly:
- Level 16: Evolves into Quilladin, still Grass-type.
- Level 36: Evolves into Chesnaught, which becomes Grass/Fighting-type.
