How To Find And Evolve Greavard in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Through Completing and Solving

Select Language:

Houndstone might seem like a spooky and powerful Pokémon, but finding it in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s DLC Mega Dimension can feel more like trying to find a ghost than catching a Pokémon. The game has few clues, with portals that rotate and an evolution that follows its own rules, making it easy to get lost.

If you’re ready to skip the dimension-hopping and want to add this Ghost-type Pokémon to your team without the hassle, this guide will show you how to find and catch Greavard, and then evolve it into Houndstone without needing any special rituals.

How to Find and Catch Greavard

To get Houndstone, you first need Greavard, which appears in the Mega Dimension version of Hyperspace Lumiose — unlocked after finishing the main story. This area is a post-game zone, where different Wild Zones cycle through various Pokémon types, accessed via portals.

Greavard only shows up in portals dedicated to Ghost-type Pokémon. When browsing portals, look for the Ghost symbol underneath the featured Pokémon images. Greavard’s icon appears as a gray dog silhouette with a candle-shaped head.

Since the portals rotate based on the time of day, the Ghost zone might not always be available. If it isn’t visible, resting on a park bench to change the time can help. Keep reloading the portals by waiting or resetting until the Ghost-type portal appears, which may take a few tries.

Once inside, you don’t need to brace for an aggressive battle. Though Pokémon in the Mega Dimension are generally stronger than usual, Greavard is quite calm in this zone. Its docile behavior makes it easier to set up a clean catch.

Just keep in mind that Greavard’s stats are boosted, so it can take a few hits before it faints. Bring solid Poké Balls and a team that can chip away at its health safely.

How to Evolve Greavard into Houndstone

Evolving Greavard into Houndstone has two simple requirements:

Level Greavard to level 30.
Level up Greavard during the nighttime.

Reaching level 30 isn’t enough; if Greavard levels up during the day, it won’t evolve. To ensure the evolution triggers, wait until nighttime before using EXP Candies or battling to level it up past 30.

Once Greavard hits level 30 at night, it will automatically start evolving into Houndstone. No extra items or menu steps are necessary.
