The climactic quest “To Keep The World In Balance” in Pokemon Legends Z-A culminates in an epic showdown against Lysandre and the capture of Zygarde. Triggering this mission requires capturing both Xerneas and Yveltal, the legendary embodiments of Life and Death. Below is a guide for navigating this pivotal battle sequence.
Guide for “To Keep The World In Balance”
Initiate the quest at Hotel Z, found in the map’s southeastern area. Ensure your team includes both Xerneas and Yveltal before approaching. Lysandre will confront you at the entrance, challenging you to a high-stakes duel to evaluate your skills as a Trainer.
Lysandre’s team features six formidable Pokémon between Levels 78-80. Prepare your squad with creatures at Level 70+ for viable combat odds. His roster includes:
Lysandre’s Team
| Name | Type | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Gyarados | Water/Dark | 80 |
| Garbodor | Poison | 79 |
| Sableye | Dark/Ghost | 78 |
| Noivern | Flying/Dragon | 79 |
| Florges | Fairy | 78 |
| Pyroar | Normal/Fire | 78 |
Opt for high-stat allies like Dragonite, Gardevoir, and Froslass with Mega Evolution capabilities. Mega Gyarados poses significant risk—stock healing items pre-battle to counter its relentless assaults. Post-victory, Zygarde 10% emerges fleetingly before retreating to Prism Tower. Heal your team and replenish supplies at the nearby Pokémon Center beforehand.
Confronting Zygarde
Engage Zygarde beneath Prism Tower in a three-stage clash:
- 10% Form: Rapidly dispatch this weakened iteration using standard offensive tactics.
- 50% Form: Counter area-of-effect attacks with ice- or fairy-type moves while managing health.
- Complete Forme: Exercise extreme caution against Zygarde’s devastating Core Enforcer strike. Ice/Fairy specialists like Gardevoir prove essential here.
Each phase restores Zygarde’s health, demanding strategic resource management. Post-battle, Lysandre gifts the Zygarde Cube to control form changes and activate Mega Evolution, concluding the game’s primary narrative.
