How to Unlock Collecting Four Drives

Complete Hyperspace Mission 12

Pokemon Legends ZA Hyperspace Mission 12 Completed

Collecting Four Disks is unlocked after completing Hyperspace Mission 12, which marks the end of all the DLC Hyperspace Missions.

Mega Dimension DLC Story Walkthrough

Accept Mission From an Unnamed Man

Unnamed Man Location

Vert District Map

In an alleyway facing Wild Zone 17

The unnamed man wearing a blue suit can be found within a small alleyway behind a building, facing Wild Zone 17. Speak with him there and accept his request to start the side mission.

Lumiose City Interactive Map

Collecting Four Drives Walkthrough

  1. Purchase All Four Drives
  2. Enter the Hyperspace Distortion
  3. Capture Genesect

Purchase All Four Drives

Individual Drive Price
Total Drive Price

Each Disk from the unnamed man costs 540 Mega Shards, for a total of 2,160 Mega Shards if you purchase them all at once, though they can be bought gradually over time. If you’re short on Mega Shards, you can farm them around Lumiose City or enter Hyperspace Zones, where they are plentiful.

After purchasing all four Disks, speak with the man again and show them to him. He will send intel to your Rotom Phone about a unique location that you can track to Wild Zone 13.

Enter the Hyperspace Distortion

Fast Travel to Wild Zone 13 and enter the area. We recommend activating the side mission tracker and following it toward the northern section of the zone. Once there, interact with a tall window in between two windows of the same hieght to reveal an Unknown Hyperspace Zone, which you can enter at any time.

Consume a High-Rank Donut Before Entering

Before passing through, make sure that you consume a high-ranking Donut that boosts your Pokemon by at least 70–80 Levels or more, as you'll be faced with a Level 200 Pokemon upon entering. Having a Donut with a substat that raises Catch Power for Bug-type Pokemon will be especially useful here, as you'll be encountering a Genesect.

Capture Genesect

Pokemon Legends ZA Capture Genesect

A Level 200 Genesect awaits inside the pocket dimension, standing in a clearing beyond the cragged rocks. Unlike other Legendary Pokemon encountered during Hyperspace Missions, you don't need to defeat Genesect before attempting capture, as you can immediately begin throwing Poke Balls at it.

If you choose to weaken it first, a strong Fire-type Pokemon such as Charizard is highly effective, since Genesect has a 4x weakness to Fire-type moves. You can also use a Pokemon that has the ability to Paralyze with Electric-type moves, or a similar debuff, to help with your chances of a successful catch.

We recommend using a Net Ball for its increased catch rate against Bug-type Pokemon, giving you the best chance to capture Genesect. If your attempt fails the first time, you can keep retrying the encounter until you capture the Mythical Pokemon.

How to Get Genesect

Keep Throwing Poke Balls at Genesect

As an alternative to capturing Genesect while their HP is fully depleted, you can try to reduce its HP to a very low level without fully knocking it out, then repeatedly throw Poke Balls until a successful capture.

It will continue to attack after recovering from a failed capture, so let a Pokemon with resistance to Bug-type moves tank the damage, and heal them with a Max Potion before they faint. This method allows you to bypass the pre-battle cutscene and prevent Genesect's HP from resetting.

Raise Your Blue Canari Plush Level

Get the Blue Canari Plush First

If you're still having a hard time capturing Genesect, make sure that your Blue Canari Plush's level is maxed out to give you a higher chance of success at catching Pokemon. You can level up this item with Colorful Screws via the trader in front of Racine Construction.
