How to Obtain Mega Tatsugiri in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Select Language:

“Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension” features some exciting Mega Evolutions that longtime fans are sure to love. While not all Pokémon are considered old favorites—like Tatsugiri, a more recent addition—it’s still fun to see their new forms.

Some of these Mega Evolutions are called Rogue Megas. These operate kind of like mini boss battles in the main game. Luckily, you’ll have NPC friends to help you take them down.

Where to Find Tatsugirinite

It’s Part of a Story Mission

Once you start the DLC and reach the point called “Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No. 3,” NPCs will ask you to gather enough research points. Doing so unlocks the new Hyperspace Rogue Mega Arena, where you’ll find Tatsugirinite and Mega Tatsugiri.

You can locate them just north of the center of the map, inside a Hyperspace Rogue Mega Arena portal. Beating this Rogue Mega battle concludes the Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No. 3 mission. When you defeat it, Tatsugirinite becomes a battle prize, along with a special item called Amazing Butter, which helps you make stronger donuts.

Where to Find Tatsugiri

It’s a Reward From the Battle

After battling Mega Tatsugiri, you can catch it for free right after the fight. Be prepared, though, because you’ll need strong Pokémon to win this battle.

Mega Tatsugiri is weak against:

Steel-type moves
Fire-type moves
Water-type moves

It’s resistant to:

Steel-type
Fire-type
Water-type

Even though it’s level 140 in the story, you’ll have access to better butter that can temporarily boost your Pokémon’s levels when exploring Hyperspace portals. For this fight, I made a batch that boosted my level 100 Pokémon to level 136—just enough to handle Mega Tatsugiri. Plus, you’ll have NPC teammates to assist, as is common in big boss battles.

“Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension” has many surprises. Keep progressing through the story, and you’ll unlock portals that reveal all the game’s Mega Evolutions. Just remember to bring plenty of good donuts—those stronger Pokémon and boss battles are much easier with the right supplies. Don’t worry about their high level; with the right preparation, you can handle it better than you might think.
