| Reaching Rank D Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() You'll finally face Ivor 14 Main Missions later! But first, you'll need to get yout hands on another Challenger's Ticket. For this promotion match, you need to get a total of 35,000 Ticket Points in Z-A Royale. The following Side Missions will be unlocked at the start of the mission: 044 - Vanillite's Fragrant Snow (must complete Skiddo's Fragrant Leaves first) 045 - On Maintenance Duty 046 - Pidgeot Soaring High 047 - Becoming a Furfrou Trimmer |
| 2 | ![]() Once you get the ticket, head over to the Fist of Justice Dojo at the Jaune District. However, Ivor won't be there when you arrive, and you will be challenged by Josee again instead. ![]() Josee's Pokemon: Lv.43 Machoke Lv.43 Medicham Both Josee's Pokemon are weak to Flying-type Moves like Aerial Ace. Defeating Josee will reward you with a Seed of Mastery. |
| 3 | ![]() Ivor is finally here! But, it turns out that he needs his sister, who is currently missing, and her smartphone to confirm the matchup. Follow him to the Looker Bureau and seek Emma's help in finding Gwynn. The following Side Missions will be unlocked after the battle with Josee: 048 - All Tied Up 049 - Hit and Heal 050 - Just a Few Questions for You... (Nighttime only) |
| 4 | ![]() Go to the city hall, located east of Wild Zone 8, to see if Gywnn is still there. |
| 5 | ![]() As expected, Ivor's little sister is nowhere to be found. Go to the east side of the city hall and talk to they guy next to the fountain with the "The Fist of Justice, huh?" speech bubble. |
| 6 | ![]() Next stop is Nouveau Cafe at the Vert District. As expected, Gwynn is also not here, but you get a lead that she might be with Canari. |
| 7 | ![]() Go to Racine Construction at the southeast edge of Vert District. Gwynn is also not here, but Canari is willing to give you a clue on where she could be if you beat her again in a Pokemon battle. ![]() Canari's Pokemon: Lv.42 Heliolisk Lv.43 Ampharos Lv.43 Stunfisk Lv.44 Mega Eelektross All of Canari's Pokemon are weak to Ground-type Moves so Pokemon like Garchomp is recommended. Take note that her Stunfisk can use Stealth Rock which puts close-range attackers at a disadvantage. The following Side Missions will be unlocked after the rematch with Canari: 051 - Floette Frolicking with Flowers (must complete The Many Flowers of Flabebe first) 052 - Numel Frozen Solid 053 - The Most Electrifying Eelektrik |
| 8 | ![]() Canari will spill the clue after defeating her in this battle, which ultimately leads your group somewhere with a Clawitzer fountain. Luckily, the game automatically marks it on your map! Head to the location in the Bleu District to continue. |
| 9 | ![]() If you haven't found it yet, the Ice Beam TM is found in the middle of the battle court in Wild Zone 12. You can also find Ice-type Pokemon within the zone that can learn this move. ![]() Once you have an Ice Beam user, return to the fountain and use the move on it to freeze the water and reveal an entrance to the sewers. |
| 10 | ![]() Make your way through the sewers until you reach the marked location where you'll find a locked gate. Examine every part of the locked gate to proceed. |
| 11 | ![]() Follow the Klefki to the other room and catch it. Make use of the Ultra Balls Emma just gave you to avoid wasting your own Poke Balls. |
| 12 | ![]() Go back to the locked gate only to find out that the Klefki doesn't have the correct key either. Oh well, just let Ivor bust the gate open. |
| 13 | ![]() Go deeper into the sewers until you reach a dead end room at the northernmost part of the map. ![]() In the room where the Chandelure disappeared, you have to investigate four specific spots to proceed: ・Pipes and valves southeast of the room ・Four machines southwest of the room ・Electric panels northwest of the room ・Pale crates on the stack of crates near the entrance A cutscene will play after investigating these four spots which reveals a hidden area west of the room. |
| 14 | ![]() Inside the room at the end of the path is Gwynn and her Chandelure. When Emma asks, answer that Gwynn herself is the culprit, as it is clear that she decides to hide and stay in the sewers. However, like everything else in this city, Gwynn insists that you will have to beat her in battle if you want the whole truth. |
| 15 | ![]() Gwynn's Pokemon: Lv.43 Banette Lv.44 Gourgeist Lv.45 Chandelure (Mega) As Gwynn's entire team is composed of Ghost-types, using Dark-type Moves like Crunch and Night Slash makes for an easy sweep. The following Side Missions will be unlocked after the battle with Gwynn: 054 - Get ENERGIZED! 055 - Carvanha, Menace of the Deep! 056 - We'll Just Muscle Our Way Through |
| Ivor of the Fist of Justice | |
|---|---|
| 16 | ![]() Now that's settled, time to get promoted to Rank D! Rest up and return to the Justice Dojo to start the match. Ivor's Pokemon: Lv.45 Heracross Lv.46 Machamp Lv.46 Medicham Lv.47 Falinks (Mega) Do not bring Pokemon that are weak to Fighting-type Moves to this fight as they will just get OHKO'd. Using Ghost-types is a good strategy here as they can negate most of Ivor's attacks. However, take note that his Pokemon have other moves that can hit Ghost-types, so be sure to at least match his team's level and bring some recovery items. |
| 17 | ![]() Defeating Ivor promotes you to Rank D and rewards you with the TM011 Bulk Up. |
Ivor (Rank E) Team and Weaknesses

Defeating Ivor in the Promotion Match will get you promoted to Rank D, and he'll also reward you the TM for the move Bulk Up.
