Best Team in Pokemon Legends Z-A: Tips and Tricks
Here are some notes to follow to use this team to its full potential:
- You can substitute some Pokemon from this team with your starter Pokemon if you wish to. Gyarados can be replaced with a Water-type starter. Use any Grass-type starter in place of Eelektross. The Fire-type starter can take the place of Hawlucha.
- Gyarados changes types on Mega Evolving to Water/Dark. Thus, Crunch will get STAB after Mega Evolution.
- Eelektross has a higher Attack stat, but its Special Attack stat is not too far behind. You can easily use it for any Special Attack moves you want to use for the situation.
- Try to get your Pokemon switching time down during trainer battles. Switching the Pokemon out for something that resists or nullifies the opponent’s attack will be handy.
- Don’t hesitate to switch up the moveset depending on the situation you are walking into.
- Once you are in the post-game and get various legendaries, this list will look slightly different as well.
