Complete Pokémon List in Wild Zone 2

Here is the entire roster of Pokémon you can encounter in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Wild Zone 2:

Budew
Magikarp
Binnacle
Kakuna
Square
Staryu

How to Capture a Budew

First Appearance	Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
Evolves Into	Roselia with high Friendship, Roserade with a Shiny Stone
Type	Grass/Poison

Upon entering Wild Zone 2, veer left to find a patch of tall grass, where you can practice sneaking techniques taught by another trainer. Budew is easily approachable, so just sneak up and use a Poké Ball to catch it.

This Grass/Poison-type Pokémon is vulnerable to many elements, including Fire and Poison. Budew holds tactical value for battles against Rock, Water, and Ground types, making it a savvy addition to your collection.

The Path to Gyarados

First Appearance	Pokémon Red and Blue
Evolves Into	Gyarados at level 20
Type	Water

To get a Gyarados, you must first capture its preliminary form—Magikarp. After securing Budew, make your way to a nearby bridge where you’ll encounter some Magikarp swimming below.

These goofy fish will flop right into your path, making them an easy target. Tossing a Poké Ball should suffice since they lack any significant attack abilities. Magikarp, a Water-type, is effective against Fire, Ground, and Rock types and evolves into Gyarados at level 20, or you can expedite the evolution process using candy.

How to Obtain a Binacle

First Appearance	Pokémon X and Y
Evolves Into	Barbaracle at level 39
Type	Rock/Water

On the other side of the bridge where you caught your Magikarp, look for a Binacle hanging out on a small island. This Rock/Water-type Pokémon is susceptible to Fighting and Ground moves.

Employ sneak tactics or engage in battle to secure your Binacle. As a dual-type, it boasts strengths against Fire, Rock, and Ice, and when it evolves at level 39, it becomes a powerful physical attacker in your roster.

Missed Weedle? Snag a Kakuna

First Appearance	Pokémon Red and Blue
Evolves Into	Beedrill at level 10
Type	Bug/Poison

If you skipped capturing Weedle in Wild Zone 1, don’t worry; you can still get Kakuna here. After securing Binacle, traverse back across the bridge and follow around the path. Kakuna can be easily spotted up in a tree, ready for capture.

As a Bug/Poison-type, Kakuna is strong against Grass, Dark, and Psychic Pokémon. It evolves into Beedrill at level 10, making it a visually appealing creature among Pokémon enthusiasts.

Congratulations! You’ve Caught a Patrat

First Appearance	Pokémon Black and White
Evolves Into	Watchog at level 20
Type	Normal

There are different strategies to catch Patrat. The simplest way is to throw a Poké Ball from the location where you nabbed Binacle, as Patrat is waiting on a small ledge to the left. Alternatively, uncover him from the staircase near Kakuna’s location.

Patrat is a Normal-type Pokémon, making it vulnerable to Fighting-type moves. Lucario or Pancham can easily defeat it. Normal-types offer versatile options in battle and enjoy immunity against Ghost-type attacks.

Starmie? No, Staryu!

First Appearance	Pokémon Red and Blue
Evolves Into	Starmie with Water Stone
Type	Water

To encounter Staryu, you must wait for nighttime, as they spawn during the dark. Find a bench and rest until nightfall, then return to Wild Zone 2.

Staryu appears in multiple aquatic locations. Approach with caution and toss a Poké Ball when you’re ready to catch this powerful Water-type Pokémon. Staryu can be incredibly effective against Fire and Ground opponents. Moreover, you have the option to evolve it into Starmie using a Water Stone, available from the Stone Emporium or as a random drop in the city.
