|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() Talk to your rival outside and they will request for a Pokemon battle where you unleash your Mega Absol. This means that your Absol must be absolutely prepared and able to Mega Evolve for the battle to start. |
| 2 | ![]() Open the Boxes menu and select your Absol. Give it the Absolite to hold so it can Mega Evolve during battle. |
| 3 | ![]() When you're set, talk to your rival again to start the battle. Depending on the Starter Pokemon that you picked, your rival will send in the other two starters back-to-back to face your team, both at Lv.25. ![]() Your rival's third Pokemon will be Manectric, which they will immediately Mega Evolve into Mega Manectric. Switch out your Absol and Mega Evolve it to match your rival and wrap up the fight! The following Side Missions will be unlocked after the battle with your rival: 023 - Underneath the Holovator 024 - An Abra Playmate 025 - Trubblesome Patrons 026 - Burn, Litleo, Burn |
| Vinnie of Quasartico Inc. | |
|---|---|
| 4 | ![]() Head to Quasartico Inc. in the Magenta District to meet with Vinnie. Upon arriving, you'll find out that getting in isn't going to be simple as two Dedenne guards will engage you in a 2-on-2 fight. |
| 5 | ![]() Vinnie will exit the building right after you beat up their guards and tell you to meet him at the battle court just beside the building. |
| 6 | ![]() Surprise! You and your rival are now set for a promotion match against Vinnie himself. But first, you need to get 6,000 Challenge Points to get a Challenger's Ticket for the match. Enter a Battle Zone and start racking up points until you can get your hands on the Challenger's Ticket. If it's still daytime, you can instantly change to nighttime by resting on benches. Return to the battle court and present the ticket to Vinnie to start the match. |
| 7 | ![]() Vinnie's Pokemon: Lv.30 Houndoom Lv.30 Sharpedo Lv.30 Buneary Lv.32 Drampa (Mega) All four of Vinnie's Pokemon are weak to Fighting-type Moves, so having at least two Lv.30 Fighting-type Pokemon is enough to clear this match as long as you don't forget to heal them when necessary. After winning, you will be promoted straight to Rank F! You will also get TM051 Safeguard as a bonus. |

| 10 | ![]() Leave Quasartico Inc. and follow your rival to Nouveau Cafe, where Naveen happens to be as well. During the conversation, your rival will get a call from Vinnie, saying that they've detected areas where Rogue Mega Pokemon are likely to emerge. |
| 11 | ![]() Rendezvous with the rest of the team at Hotel Z. The main topic of the discussion will be the three locations with high concentrations of Mega Power and the possible Rogue Mega Pokemon that you might face: Mega Slowbro, Mega Camerupt, and Mega Victreebel. Each of these three Megas will have its own Main Mission, which you can complete in any order before Main Mission 10 progresses. ►How to Beat Rogue Mega Slowbro ►How to Beat Rogue Mega Camerupt ►How to Beat Rogue Mega Victreebel ![]() Before you leave the hotel and face the Rogue Megas, AZ will give you the Mega Stone of your Starter Pokemon to help you with the upcoming challenges!

| Battle Zygarde | |

Zygarde has a 4x Weakness against Ice-type moves, so it's best to have an Ice-type move to easily defeat it. ![]() Turns out it's just trying to give you a mysterious Pebble! Watch the following cutscenes after the fight and Mission 10 will be completed. |

You'll receive the Meganiumite. Feraligite. or Emboarite during the quest depending on the starter Pokemon you chose at the start of the game!
