How to Reach the Hyperspace Distortion

Fast travel to the Centrico Pokemon Center, then head west between the two buildings in Rouge Sector 1 . You’ll spot scaffolding on your right; climb it to reach the rooftop. From there, turn right and move forward until you find the hyperspace distortion rippling along the wall, next to a door.

  1. Consume a High-Level Donut
  2. Defeat Corbeau and Philippe in a Pokemon Battle

Consume a High-Level Donut

Pokemon Legends ZA Enter Hyperspace Distortion With High-Level Donut

Be sure to consume a high-level Donut that increases your Level 100 Pokemon by 80–90 levels or more before entering the hyperspace zone, as you'll be up against a team of Level 200 Pokemon. Using a Donut that has susbtats which synergize well with your team and boosts their attack power will be the best choice for this mission.

Vinnie will join you in the battle against Corbeau and Philippe, who have the same Pokemon lineup as they did in Side Mission 153. With that in mind, we recommend countering their team with a Pokemon like Camerupt or Emboar, who can use both Fire- and Ground-type moves to exploit the weaknesses of most of their lineup.

You can also add a strong Electric-type Pokemon to your party to specifically counter Corbeau’s Gyarados, such as Raichu, if you have one. The side mission concludes after defeating both Rust Syndicate leaders, granting you your rewards!
