Next, you first need to complete at least one Hyperspace Wild Zone before the Mega Garchomp Z portal appears. You can enter any one-star portal to access the special one.

All Hyperspace Wild Zone Locations

Enter the Special Hyperspace Distortion

Mega Garchomp Z Portal

After meeting the requirements, a yellow hyperspace distortion will appear on the map, which will contain an unidentified Mega Stone.

This will be a one-star hyperspace portal, so you can use any donut you have made as the battle will be relatively easy.

Battle Mega Garchomp Z

Battle Mega Garchomp Z

A Level 110 Mega Garchomp Z will be waiting behind the portal which you need to defeat to get the Garchompite Z Mega Stone. You can use an Ice-type Pokemon to defeat it, as it is a mono-Dragon-type.

Once you defeat Mega Garchomp Z, you will obtain the Garchompite Z which will allow you to Mega Evolve a Garchomp into its new Z Mega Evolution!

Mega Garchomp Z Best Nature and Moveset

Modest or Timid

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Timid ↑ Speed, ↓ Attack

Since Mega Garchomp Z is a Fast Special Attacker, it's best Nature is either Modest or Timid to boost its Special Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Mega Garchomp Z either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Mega Garchomp Z any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Mega Garchomp Z has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Mega Garchomp Z Moveset for the Story

Dragon Pulse Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 8
Earth Power Pokemon Ground Type Icon 8
Draco Meteor Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 10

We recommend the moves Draco Meteor, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, and Earth Power when using Mega Garchomp Z during the main story.
