Following the emergence of the Rust Syndicate, your subsequent objective involves advancing to Rank C in Pokémon Legends Z-A. This requires accumulating sufficient Z-A Royale points to obtain a Challenger’s Ticket before dueling Corbeau for promotion.
Though farming these points might seem repetitive, strategic preparation remains crucial for defeating the syndicate leader. Below is a step-by-step guide to accomplish this mission.
Step-by-Step Guide for Rank C Promotion
Upon completing the Rust Syndicate’s initial request, consult Corbeau to learn about promotion requirements. He’ll emphasize securing a Challenger’s Ticket through nocturnal point collection.
Securing the Challenger Ticket
Earning 38,000 Ticket Points demands nighttime exploration. Prioritize Bonus Cards to accelerate point gains. If daylight persists, utilize benches to rest until evening or complete side tasks.
Battling Corbeau
With the ticket secured, fast-travel to the syndicate’s headquarters and engage Philippe to initiate the battle. Corbeau’s team composition:
| Pokemon | Type | Level | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Scolipede | Bug/Poison | 52 | Flying, Rock, Fire, Psychic |
| Rosarade | Grass/Poison | 51 | Fire, Flying, Ice, Psychic |
| Arbok | Poison | 50 | Ground, Psychic |
| Gyarados | Water/Flying | 51 | Rock, Electric (4x) |
Given the prevalence of Poison-types, prioritize Psychic or Fire-based attackers. Gyarados’ quad-weakness to Electric moves makes it vulnerable to Thunderbolt users.
Claiming Rank C
Victory grants Rank C status and the Gunk Shot TM. After concluding cutscenes, proceed to the next mission: A Showdown on the Battle Court.
