Unlocking the fourth optional mission, “A Break Time Battle,” in Pokemon Legends Z-A requires considerable advancement in the main storyline. Trainers must reach Rank X (Mission 06) to access this challenge. Upon meeting this requirement, travel westward from Wild Zone 3 to encounter Sommi, an NPC stationed near a dormant Holovator. Engaging him initiates a battle with notable rewards and unlocks a previously inaccessible area.
Initiating the A Break Time Battle Quest
After progressing to Main Mission 06, navigate to Wild Zone 3’s western sector. Sommi awaits beside an inactive Holovator, which becomes a fast-travel point post-activation. Speak to him to trigger the battle sequence, pitting your team against his trio of Pokémon.
Strategies for Victory
Sommi deploys Emolga, Pidgey, and Budew—all between levels 8-9. While Heracross (obtained in Side Mission 02) proves effective despite its Flying-type vulnerability, any adequately leveled team can dominate. Prioritize type advantages and level disparities to secure victory efficiently.
Quest Completion Rewards
Successful trainers receive:
- 1,200 Poke Dollars
- 3x Exp. Candy S
- 1x Fresh Water
Post-battle, the previously inactive Holovator activates, granting access to an elevated exploration zone teeming with Pokémon and hidden items.
