Alpha Pokemon

Alpha Pokemon are larger and more aggressive versions of wild Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Read on for a list of Alpha Pokemon and their locations, as well as learn tips on how to catch them!

Alpha Locations Shiny Alpha Guide

List of Contents

Tips for Catching Alpha Pokemon

  1. Get Blue Canari Plush and Useful Poke Balls
  2. Fast Travel to Reroll Spawns
  3. Start With a Quick Ball Backstrike
  4. Weaken the Alpha with Passive Damage
  5. Get a Last Chance to Catch After KO

Get Blue Canari Plush and Useful Poke Balls

Item Effect
Blue Canari PlushBlue Canari Plush
★★★★★		 Makes it easier to catch Pokemon. Can be upgraded three times.
▶︎ Which Canari Plush Should You Get?
Quick Ball Icon
Quick Ball
★★★★☆		 Effective when used before the target has spotted you.
Timer Ball Icon
Timer Ball
★★★☆☆		 Effective during long battles where the target has taken more actions.

Alpha Pokemon are a lot stronger than regular wild Pokemon as they have higher levels and have better EVs. They are harder to catch so it is recommended to bring Poke Balls that help with capture rates or get the Blue Canari Plush.

Fast Travel to Reroll Alpha Pokemon Spawns

If the Alpha Pokemon that you are hunting for does not appear in an area, you can reroll the Pokemon that spawn in the area by fast travelling to the location.

For example, if you want a certain Alpha Pokemon to appear in Wild Zone 1, you can fast travel to the Wild Zone 1 waypoint to reroll the Pokemon in the area.

How to Fast Travel

Start With a Quick Ball Backstrike

A Quick Ball is an effective Poke Ball to use against Alpha Pokemon that has not spotted you yet. This can be paired along with the backstrike bonus that increases you capture rate when you throw a Poke Ball onto your target's back.

This is useful as you can sneak around and position yourself behind an Alpha Pokemon and utilize both capture bonuses.
How to Get Quick Balls

Weaken the Alpha with Passive Damage

Toxic Will-O-Wisp Curse
Learns on Lv. Up ・Ekans (25)
・Skrelp (25)
・Trubbish (30)		 ・Shuppet (16)
・Phantump (16)		 ・Gastly (20)
・Shuppet (26)
Learns through TM ・Patrat
・Spinarak
・Bellsprout 		・Tepig
・Fletchling
・Gastly 		・Phantump
・Litwick

As you progress through the game, most Alpha Pokemon you encounter will typically be of higher level than you. To weaken them reliably, we recommend status moves that deal passive damage such as Poison, Burn, or Curse damage.

Inflicting these status conditions will guarantee that the target Alphas will have their HP lowered over time, during which you can continue capture attempts, provided they aren't enraged.

Do note that Poison and Steel-type Pokemon cannot be poisoned, so you can instead apply passive damage with Will-O-Wisp. Meanwhile, Curse's residual damage will only work if it is used by a Ghost-type Pokemon.

Status Effects Explained

Use Perish Song

Learns Perish Song on Lv. Up ・Absol (54)
・Gastly (50)
・Swablu (60)

You can also use Perish Song against an Alpha as this guarantees that the target will faint after 30 seconds, although you will not be able to throw Poke Balls while waiting as the target will still have a lot of health.

You will also have only one chance of capturing it once it is Knocked Out from Perish Song's effect. It is recommended to use a Timer Ball as this will become more effective the more actions your target has done, and is useful against Pokemon that has a high Speed stat.
Perish Song Effect and Pokemon That Learn It

Angry Alpha Pokemon Cannot Be Caught

Enraged Alpha
An Alpha Pokemon may become enraged if you throw a Poke Ball multiple times without successfully catching it. If an Alpha Pokemon is angry, Poke Balls will bounce off if you throw them and you will not be able to capture it until it calms down.

Any Poke Ball that has bounced away can be reclaimed from the Lost Poke Balls NPC found near Pokemon Centers.

Get a Last Chance to Catch after the Alpha is KO'd

Last Chance KO Capture
The capture rate of Alpha Pokemon increases when you defeat them entirely, where they will be stunned for a few seconds.

When the Alpha is stunned after being Knocked Out, you get one last chance to throw your best Poke Ball, like an Ultra Ball, for a capture. With any luck, you'll catch your target. And if it fails, you can always load your previous save, or just wait for it to respawn.

Fixed and Random Alpha Pokemon

100 Percent Completion Wild Zone

Getting 100% completion on a Wild Zone will likely allow random, non-fixed Alpha Pokemon to appear in that Wild Zone.

If an Alpha Pokemon does not spawn, you can fast travel to the Wild Zone to reset the spawn location of that area. In addition, fast traveling to the same Wild Zone will also be treated as a reset.

I found an Alpha Eevee in Wild Zone 19, it was where the usual Eevee is located but level 58 instead of 49 or 50
