Guide to Obtaining Zeraora in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

Mega Zeraora has made quite an impact as one of the latest offerings in the Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC. However, capturing this electrifying creature requires players to meet specific criteria. This guide equips trainers with essential insights on Zeraora, its Mega evolution, how to initiate the EX3 Side Mission, and the precise recipe for the Plasma-Glazed Donut necessary to engage this legendary Pokémon in combat.

Finding Zeraora in Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

To seek out Zeraora in Pokémon Legends Z-A, players must activate the EX3 Side Mission: Raging Lightning. This hidden mission requires previous accomplishments within the game, particularly capturing certain Legendary Pokémon and completing their respective tasks:

Groudon – Hyperspace Mission 13: A Ruby Red Legend
Kyogre – Hyperspace Mission 14: A Sapphire Blue Legend
Rayquaza – Hyperspace Mission 12: The Greatest Gift
Diancie – EX1 Side Mission: Shine Bright Like a Gemstone
Mewtwo – EX2 Side Mission: Project M

Next, navigate to Cafe Cyclone located below Wild Zone 2. Look for an entrance to the inner courtyard between the structures and utilize the Holovator.

Once inside, rotate your view to the right and locate some scaffolding on your left. Climb the scaffolding and continue upward until you reach a plank leading to the rooftop of the nearest building. Perform a Roll + Jump followed by Roto Glide to access the rooftop.

After you’ve successfully climbed, locate a boy wearing a yellow jacket at the end of the U-shaped building. Engage him in conversation, and he’ll offer a trade where you can exchange the Canari Bread for Popping Candy.

Return to Hotel Z and speak with Ansha, triggering a humorous cutscene where she reveals a unique recipe she has concocted: the Plasma-Glazed Donut.

Crafting the Plasma-Glazed Donut Recipe for Zeraora in Pokémon Legends Z-A

For players to advance, crafting the Plasma-Glazed Donut becomes imperative. This delicacy is made by blending Hyperspace Berries in the following proportions:

40 points in sweet
200 points in spicy
400 points in sour
280 points in bitter
40 points in fresh

The required combination for crafting is as follows:

3 Hyper Roseli Berries
2 Hyper Babiri Berries
1 Hyper Peaceful Berry
1 Hyper Tanga Berry
1 Hyper Charti Berry

After crafting the donut, players will receive a call from Emma. Head to the Station, where the journey initially begins, to meet Emma and Korrine. An engaging battle against Zeraora awaits.

Strategies to Defeat & Capture Zeraora in Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

Encountering Mega Zeraora will introduce players to a variety of attacks, including five easy-to-dodge moves and one challenging attack. Here’s a breakdown of each move:

Wild Charge: Zeraora lunges forward and strikes; sidestep to avoid.
Plasma Fist (Simple): A straight energy blast; dodge to the side.
Electroweb: Avoid the area where it lands to evade damage.
Dynamic Punch: This delivers heavy damage; maintain distance.
Plasma Fist (Star Shape): Zeraora will jump and charge; retreat to the edges to avoid.
Plasma Fist (Z Shape): The most dangerous move as Zeraora zigzags across the arena; prepare to dodge quickly.

The last attack poses the greatest threat, so it’s advisable to keep your Pokémon in a Poké Ball to maintain distance. When Zeraora executes this move, tap dodge (Y) with precise timing to evade successfully.

Be cautious, as this energy wave rebounds off the arena’s edges, returning toward Zeraora’s position. Players might need to dodge multiple times, as this attack can occur up to three times consecutively.

Once Zeraora is defeated, capture it using your favorite Poké Ball. The Zeraorite, essential for Mega Evolution, is part of the package, ensuring you can evolve it without further searching. Enjoy your journey with one of the most powerful Electric-type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends Z-A!
