Main Mission 04 Walkthrough
| Battling in the Z-A Royale Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  After the cutscene, exit the hotel and speak with your rival to officially complete in Z-A Royale.  You need to earn enough ticket points by battling trainers in the battle zone. Open your main menu with the X button and you'll also see how many trainers you need to win against to get enough tickets. |
| 2 |  Enter the Battle Zone for a short cutscene with Naveen, Lida, and your rival. You can then speak with your rival to heal your Pokemon in between battles.  You can also speak to Naveem who will tell you more about Prize Medals, which are dropped by defeated trainers and will reward you prize money once the night ends. Conversely, losing a battle will cause you to give up half of your accumulated prize medals. Naveen will also give you a Sitrus Berry that you can equip your Pokemon as a held item. |
| 3 |  When ready, start exploring the battle zone and fight and win against trainers to get enough ticket points. Your goal is to win against 3 trainers to get enough ticket points. Note: Make sure you have at least 5 Pokemon ready so you can cycle between them during fights. You can also head back to your rival to heal your Pokemon to full health.  You can also sneak behind trainers and command your Pokemon to attack their Pokemon to deal First Strike damage that deals more damage than usual!  Finally, you can also see how many wins you have on the upper right part of the screen, as well as how many tickets you have currently. |
| 4 |  Once you've defeated three trainers, you'll get a summary of how many trainers you've defeated as well as how many points and medals you've accumulated during the fights.  Make your way to the nearby Pokemon Center and speak with your Rival. They will tell you that you need to fight another trainer in a Promotion Match to increase your rank.  Your first Promotion Match will be against Zach and defeating him will allow you to rank up!  Make your way to the Taxi Lot in South Boulevard and speak with your rival to start the Promotion Match against Zach. |
| 5 |  Zach's Pokemon: Lv.8 Slowpoke Lv.9 Pidgey Lv.9 Pikachu Zach has a total of 3 Pokemon and will start the fight with a Lv. 8 Slowpoke, then send out a Lv.9 Pidgey, and finally a Lv.9 Pikachu. We recommend getting an Electric-type Pokemon such as Pichu to deal with Slowpoke and Pidgey, while Bunnelby is a great match-up against Pikachu due to its immunity to Electric-types and super effective Ground-type moves. Note: You can heal your Pokemon during the match using Potions, so make sure to switch out your main attacker with another Pokemon if you need to heal them! ► How to Beat Zach |
| 6 |  Defeat all of Zach's Pokemon and you'll rank up to Y Rank.  You'll also be introduced to Emma during a short cutscene, which also completes the mission! |
