The rooftops in Pokémon Legends Z-A now serve as versatile combat zones, though advanced traversal skills remain locked early on. A novel Rotom Phone ability called Roto-Glide enables aerial navigation between structures after specific story progression.
This mobility upgrade activates during Mission 16 (“A Rogue Mega Beedrill”) as part of mandatory objectives. Our guide outlines the activation process and practical applications of this airborne feature in-game.
Roto-Glide Activation Guide
Maintain pressure on the A button during freefall from elevated positions to engage aerial traversal. Successful activation requires sufficient starting altitude, with gravitational forces gradually reducing elevation during flight. Strategic positioning ensures optimal travel distance between structures.
Acquiring the Aerial Mobility Feature
Mission 16 triggers permanent access to Roto-Glide through narrative progression. Follow these steps to enable the mechanic:
- Progress through primary objectives until confronting Mega Beedrill
- Meet story companion (Urbaine/Taunie) at Hotel MZ’s rear area
- Ascend rooftop via provided ladder
- Complete tutorial sequence to enable phone functionality
Post-activation, any sufficiently tall structure becomes a launch point for aerial navigation.
