Day-One Guides Detail Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Wild Zones, Spawns, and Tactics

Story progress unlocks new Wild Zones in Lumiose City, with encounters shifting by time of day.

Overview

  • IGN’s launch guide places Wild Zone 2 north of Hotel Z and confirms six catches: Kakuna, Patrat, Budew, Magikarp, Binacle, and night-only Staryu.
  • Capture tips note Budew flees on sight unless approached crouching from grass, while tree-hanging Kakuna is non-hostile unless attacked.
  • VGC reports Wild Zone 14 opens after several main missions, flagged by a Rotom Phone notification when exiting Hotel Z.
  • The zone sits in a power plant–style area with day–night spawn shifts and light traversal, including breakable rock formations.
  • Reported spawns there include abundant Aron plus Lairon, Drilbur, Excadrill often beside an Alpha Excadrill, Onix at night, Emolga at night, and daytime Helioptile.
