There is a new Mega Evolution available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A as part of the Mega Dimension DLC. Because of this, many players are interested in finding Chimecho. Luckily, if you’re looking to catch this Pokemon, you won’t have to wait long. Its base form, Chingling, can be found early in the DLC’s story.
Soon after you meet Ansha and Hoopa, you’ll gain access to Hyperspace Distortions, where most of the special DLC Pokemon are located. Each Distortion Wild Zone is marked with a star rating and Pokémon type, so you’ll need to choose the zones that match the type of Pokémon you’re searching for.
Where to Get Chingling
Chingling can be found in one of the first Hyperspace Distortions you encounter in the DLC. At first, you’ll only access 1-star Hyperspace Wild Zones, which become more challenging as your ranking increases. But for Chingling, it’s available in the 1-star Hyperspace Wild Zones.
Be sure to look for zones designated as Psychic-type Hyperspace Wild Zones for a better chance to find Chingling. If you see a silhouette of Chingling in the zone’s summary, you can use a donut with Ansha to enter the zone and hunt for the Pokémon.
If you don’t see a Hyperspace Wild Zone with Chingling, you can reset the zones by resting on a bench or sleeping in your bed. Sleeping at Hotel Z is faster since it skips some transition scenes.
Using a donut that matches the zone’s requirements makes catching Chingling easier. Just watch the timer and bring enough Poke Balls to increase your catch chances.
How to Get Chimechite
Chimechite isn’t sold by vendors, nor is it part of the story’s Mega Evolution. Instead, during the main story, you’ll see random Hyperspace Distortions with the message “Unidentified Mega Stone Detected.” These distortions hide one of the new Mega Evolutions.
Inside, you won’t know which Mega Evolution awaits, but defeating the Mega inside will reward you with its Mega Stone. These are considered Rogue Mega Evolutions—they aren’t story-related and are more like wild encounters. Once defeated, you’ll receive the Mega Stone, which cannot be traded.
The only way to obtain Chimechite is by defeating these special Mega Evolutions. Once inside the distortion, the Mega Evolution appears alone, and after you defeat it, the Mega Stone is yours.
How to Evolve Chingling into Mega Chimecho
Chingling evolves through friendship, not level, and only at night. To increase friendship, take your Chingling to cafes in Lumiose City regularly. After a few visits, your friendship level will rise.
Once friendship is high enough, when nighttime comes, and Chingling is in your party, you’ll see an evolution arrow over it. The process involves spending time with your Pokémon at cafes until it is ready to evolve.
Here’s a quick overview of the evolution process:
- Chingling is a Psychic-type Pokémon.
- It can evolve into Chimecho through high friendship, but only at night.
- To get Chimecho, you need to meet the friendship level by caring for Chingling.
- Once ready to evolve, during nighttime, a special arrow will appear indicating it’s time to evolve.
- To Mega Evolve Chimecho into Mega Chimecho, you’ll need to use a Chimechite Mega Evolution Stone obtained from Hyperspace Distortions.
