This electrifying adversary appears during the primary objective “A Rogue Mega Ampharos,” where trainers must locate and pacify this powerful creature. Though the mission sounds straightforward, unexpected challenges arise from rival trainer Gwynn. Overcoming her paves the way for the ultimate test of skill against the rampaging Legendary Pokémon.
Mission Breakdown: Confronting Rogue Mega Ampharos in Pokémon Legends Z-A
Initiating the Quest
Begin by attending a briefing at Hotel Z, followed by rendezvousing with Naveen in Rouge Sector 6. Fast-travel to Café Kizuna, then navigate eastward to the marked location. Naveen identifies a malfunctioning Holovater and confronts Gwynn, who’s responsible for the sabotage. Defeat her team to proceed:
- Mega Chandelure
- Gengar
- Gourgeist
- Banette
Opt for Ghost or Dark-type allies like Absol or Malamar to counter her strategy. Upon victory, Gwynn repairs the Holovater, granting access to Rogue Mega Ampharos.
Battling Rogue Mega Ampharos
This Legendary Pokémon has exploitable vulnerabilities to Ice-, Ground-, and Dragon-type moves. Assemble a team with Pokémon like Mamoswine or Garchomp for maximum effectiveness. Key attack patterns to evade:
- AOE Electric Assault: Retreat to the arena’s edges when lightning charges begin.
- Dragon Pulse: Sidestep the slow-moving energy beam.
- Breaking Swipe: Dodge backward to avoid close-range strikes.
Post-Victory Rewards
