In Pokemon Legends Z-A, the “Display a Mega Sableye!” assignment is Side Mission 31, serving as a continuation of Arden’s innovative challenges focused on Mega Evolution aesthetics. The fashion-focused researcher seeks inspiration by observing this transformed creature’s combat style.

This mission becomes available after achieving Rank E in Main Mission 14 and finishing the prior task “Reveal a Mega Camerupt!” (Side Mission 30). Participants must capture a Sableye, initiate its Mega Evolution, then showcase its capabilities against Arden in battle.

Initiating the Mega Sableye Challenge

Journey to Vernal Avenue within Vert District, located adjacent to the local Pokemon Center, after meeting all prerequisites. Ensure possession of the Mega Ring from Main Mission 9 (“Pursue That Enigmatic Creature”) before engaging Arden, as it’s essential for triggering evolutions.

Completing the Mission Objectives

Locating Sableye

Wild Zone 9 becomes accessible post-Main Mission 9 via Magenta Sector 5’s western access point. Scout scaffolding areas and fractured rock formations using terrain-altering moves like Rock Smash to reveal concealed Sableye. Those who completed Side Mission 3 (“Cemetery Sableye Hunt”) might already possess this Ghost-type.

Acquiring Evolution Stones

Obtain Sablenite from Quasartico Inc. in northern Lumiose for 180 Mega Shards. Farm these shards from crystalline formations at prominent locations: Prism Tower’s vicinity, Hotel Z’s rooftop, Wild Zone 9’s upper levels, and Restaurant Le Yeah’s rear alley. Equip the stone through the Boxes interface after collection.

Arden’s Fashion Test

Trigger Mega Evolution at least once during your confrontation with Arden. Mega Sableye’s enhanced defenses and Magic Bounce ability make it resilient against status effects, though Fairy-types remain problematic. Its evolved form features an enlarged chest gem shield and crimson ocular glow, offering Arden the visual data she requires.

Mission Completion Benefits

Successful challengers receive 3000 PD and refreshments plus unlockable cosmetic enhancements: Starburst Gaze and Obsidian Void eye designs. These accessories can be applied through the customization menu, with progression unlocking subsequent missions in Arden’s series.
