Thonky.com's Pokémon Legends: Z-A Walkthrough

After you learn about Mega Evolution from Emma, you receive your next Promotion Match.

Reaching Rank X

You're now free to explore. Time will pass, so after a while, it will become night time and the Battle Zone will open, so you can earn Ticket Points, which will allow you to undertake your Promotion Match.

Before that, there are several Side Missions that are now available:

• Side Mission 004: A Break Time Battle (from Sommi)
• Side Mission 005: I'd Like to See an Ekans! (from Ismene)
• Side Mission 006: Long-Range Moves Have Style (from Distan)
• Side Mission 007: A Feisty Chespin (from Axi)
• Side Mission 008: Get Well, Fennekin (from Branche)
• Side Mission 009: A Challenge from Froakie (from Surv)

Go to the Battle Zone

When night falls, you can go to the Battle Zone. Just choose the Battle Zone in your map to go there automatically. In the Battle Zone, you can find Bonus Cards and get additional points or medals for fulfilling the conditions on the cards. You can only hold three Bonus Cards at a time.

Battle Yvon

When the new day dawns, you will get your rewards from the Battle Zone. You can then go to the mission destination and battle Yvon.

Yvon the Office Worker has a level 15 Spritzee, a level 15 Swirlix, and a level 16 Vivillon. You get 960 Pokédollars for winning.

Then you'll move on to Main Mission 07: Reaching Rank W.
