After dealing with a Rogue Mega Absol and getting the ability to Mega Evolve, it’s time to learn more about this phenomenon. So you will need to head over to Quasartico Inc., who have been monitoring these Rogue Mega Evolutions. So, in this guide, let’s learn “The Secret of Mega Evolution” in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

To learn more about the phenomenon of Mega Evolution, as well as why wild Pokemon are suddenly Mega Evolving by themselves, head over to Quasartico Inc. When you arrive there, you are greeted by a pair of Pokemon guarding the building, Dedenne. Take them on in a double battle alongside your rival Urbain/Taunie. Once you defeat them, Vinnie arrives and asks you to meet him at the battle court next to the building.

Vinnie tells us that AZ came to Quasartico Inc. about the Rogue Mega Evolutions. Quasartico has been trying to keep the situation under control, but it has become too much for them to handle by themselves. So they have started enlisting trainers who have reached high ranks on the Z-A Royale.

He is impressed by our performances and decides to offer us a chance at a special promotion to Rank F if we can defeat him in battle.

Vinnie has a mostly powerful team (and a Buneary):

  • Houndoom
  • Sharpedo
  • Buneary
  • Drampa

His team is entirely weak to Fighting-types (and once again, he has a Buneary). But Vinnie has one trick up his sleeve: a new Mega Evolution!

Use a Fighting-type like Heracross or Pignite to deal with his team. If you have trouble with Mega Drampa, consider using your new Mega Absol to fight it on more even footing. After defeating Vinnie, which he blames his new Buneary for, you are promoted straight to Rank F.

Once you have dealt with the Rogue Mega Evolutions and return to Hotel Z, you’ll see Zygarde waiting for you. It wants to battle, so oblige it. Defeat the Ground/Dragon with Ice moves, like Ice Fang from Gyarados, who is one of the best choices for your early team. It hands you a pebble after the battle, which may be useful later.

After the battle you are greeted by a mysterious stranger calling himself L (potentially a returning character). He mentions that Zygarde appears to have chosen you, and now it’s up to the player to become worthy of it.
