Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension presents some challenging puzzles, most of which are now found in Hyperspace. This new mysterious realm will be both the cause of many of your issues and the source of your rewards. To move forward in the story, you’ll need to learn more about these puzzles by doing some research.
Specifically, NPCs will give you research tasks to complete. These tasks range from simple things like “catch Pokémon” to more complicated requirements.
All Hyperspace Wild Zone Objectives
Some of these objectives can be quite confusing, so here is a guide to help you.
Floating Poké Balls:
These are floating power-up-like balls unique to Hyperspace. Aim your Pokémon’s abilities at them to destroy them. Keep an eye out while on the ground and rooftops—most are hidden in these areas. Bigger balls often give better items, and golden Poké Balls usually contain Hyperspace Berries, which can be used to make high-quality donuts.
Sparkling Items:
Watch for shiny spots on the ground, similar to the main game. Walk over these to automatically pick them up. During this task, it’s best to run around quickly to gather as many as possible before the timer ends.
Use the Catch Window:
This is one of the trickiest tasks. The “Catch Window” refers to the little stars that appear after you defeat a Pokémon (by reducing its HP to zero). Wait for the stars to pop up, then catch the Pokémon to complete the objective.
Catch Pokémon Without Being Seen:
For this challenge, you need to catch Pokémon without alerting them (indicated by a red eyeball icon). Use the left stick to sneak around, lock onto a Pokémon, and throw a Poké Ball. Tall grass helps hide you. Ultra Balls are best for a quick, sure catch. It’s easier if you stay on higher ground because it makes you harder to spot.
Catch Wild Pokémon:
This is a straightforward task—just catch as many wild Pokémon as possible, even of the same species. Use quality Poké Balls to catch them quickly and efficiently.
Catch a Specific Pokémon (X):
Sometimes, you’ll need to find and catch a particular Pokémon, like Zangoose. Run around and find this Pokémon before focusing on other objectives.
Complete Your Mission:
This task involves a specific mission inside a Hyperspace portal. Find an NPC and start the mission to earn research points.
Other objectives include destroying boulders with fighting, ground, or steel moves, and burning away patches of brambles with fire-type attacks—consider bringing a fire Pokémon for these.
Tips for Success in Hyperspace Wild Zones
The key to clearing these zones efficiently is to use donuts wisely. Only use high-quality donuts on portals that are more difficult, such as red portals, which are the most challenging. The benefits of donuts are two-fold: they extend how long you can stay in Hyperspace and give you level boosts during that run.
Green portals are the easiest, so they require less valuable donuts, while red portals need the best ones. Planning your donut use carefully will help you complete more objectives and progress faster.
By understanding these tasks and applying smart strategies, you’ll find it much easier to navigate and succeed in the Hyperspace Wild Zones in the Mega Dimension DLC.
