Pikachu is one of the most iconic Pokemon in the franchise, captivating fans since its debut alongside Ash in the anime. It’s no wonder that in Pokemon Legends ZA, you have the chance to catch this beloved creature. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, we’ll guide you through the steps to catch Pikachu and evolve it, making sure you’re set for adventure.
With years of experience in gaming and a deep passion for Pokemon, I’m here to help you navigate the nuances of catching and evolving Pikachu in Legends ZA. Let’s dive in!
How to Obtain Pikachu in Pokemon Legends ZA
In Pokemon Legends ZA, you can acquire Pikachu in two primary ways: by catching a Pichu and evolving it, or by catching Pikachu directly in the wild. Let’s explore each method.
1. Catch Pichu and Evolve It
Pichu is available early in the game, specifically in Wild Zone 1. After acquiring TM Rock Smash, you can clear boulders blocking your path. Head to the back entrance of Wild Zone 1 and sneak into the area. Remember, Pichu is skittish and will run if it detects you.
Position yourself carefully and toss a Poke Ball. It’s wise to save your game beforehand, as Pichu may escape if the Poke Ball fails. If you catch Pichu, go to Novuveau Cafe and order coffee four times to maximize your friendship level, leading to Pichu’s evolution into Pikachu.
2. Catch a Pikachu
Your best bet to find a Pikachu is in Wild Zone 3 at Rouge Plaza, where it spawns both day and night. Be stealthy while approaching; however, keep in mind that Pikachu is very alert. Engaging in battle beforehand can improve your chances of capturing it, and if needed, you can reset Pikachu’s spawn by teleporting away and returning later.
3. Catching an Alpha Pikachu
If you’re feeling ambitious, an Alpha Pikachu can be found at level 41 on a rooftop in Wild Zone 6. Keep in mind that Alpha Pokemon are more aggressive and have a lower catch rate, so be prepared for multiple attempts before successfully catching one.
How to Evolve Pikachu in Legends ZA
Evolving Pikachu is straightforward in Legends ZA. Regardless of Pikachu’s level, simply use a Thunder Stone from your item menu. You can acquire a Thunder Stone at the Stone Emporium or find one among the red Poke Balls scattered throughout Lumiose City.
