In Pokémon Legends Z-A, the Budew Show offers a brief escape from main objectives through a unique contest format. Participants showcase their Budew to Lumiose City judges via timed exhibitions rather than traditional battles. This activity becomes available post-Mission 07: Reaching Rank W. First, visit Vert District’s Vernal Pokémon Center to meet Jardin, a Budew enthusiast who organizes these displays. He later relocates near Bleu Sector 8’s central fountain for the official event.

Essential prerequisites include carrying a Budew and having 5,800 Poké Dollars for registration. If you lack the Pokémon, find them near Wild Zone 2’s bridges. Use stealth tactics in tall grass to avoid startling these timid creatures.

Completing the Budew Presentation Challenge

After payment at Bleu Sector 8’s fountain plaza, the showcase initiates automatically via non-interactive sequences. Judges assess your Budew’s appearance and poise, concluding with immediate quest completion. No strategic inputs or combat maneuvers are required during this sequence.

Event Compensation and Strategic Benefits

Successful competitors receive 10,000 Poké Dollars netting 4,200 profit after fees. The awarded Miracle Seed item enhances Grass-type move potency by 20%, benefiting species like Roserade or Meganium in combat scenarios.
