The Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends Z-A introduces legendary encounters that will challenge even veteran trainers. Among the most coveted is Primal Groudon, the continent-shaping Ground/Fire-type from Hoenn. Here’s your complete roadmap to adding this powerhouse to your team.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Reference: Primal Groudon Essentials
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Location | Desolate Land Distortion (Jaune Sector 11) |
| Level | 80 |
| Type | Ground/Fire (Primal Form) |
| Key Item Required | Omega Old-Fashioned Donut |
| Reward | Red Orb (enables Primal Reversion) |
| Mission | A Ruby-Red Legend (Mission 13) |
Prerequisites: Unlocking the Ruby-Red Legend
Before confronting Groudon, you must complete specific Hyperspace Lumiose Surveys. First, finish Survey No. 6 by defeating and capturing Darkrai. Next, complete another survey where you deliver Hoennian Salt to Ansha at Hotel Z. These tasks unlock Mission 13: A Ruby-Red Legend, which leads directly to your encounter with the legendary Pokemon.
Crafting the Omega Old-Fashioned Donut
The Omega donut serves as your portal key to Groudon’s distortion. You’ll need Hyperspace Berries with precise flavor profiles to craft it successfully.
Flavor Requirements:
- Spicy: 22 points
- Sour: 24 points
- Bitter: 23 points
Recommended Berry Recipe:
• 2 Tamato Berries (Spicy contribution)
• 2 Nomel Berries (Sour contribution)
• 2 Rabuta Berries (Bitter contribution)
Collect Hyperspace Berries by destroying floating Poke Balls throughout Hyperspace Lumiose. Golden Poke Balls that appear after completing zone objectives contain abundant berries.
Battle Strategy: Defeating Primal Groudon
Once you’ve crafted the Omega donut, head to the Ruby Distortion portal in Jaune Sector 11. You’ll be transported to the Desolate Land Distortion for the boss battle. Groudon appears at level 80 in its formidable Primal form, boosting Fire-type moves through its Desolate Land ability.
Type Advantages: Exploit its 4x weakness to Water-types. Pokemon like Greninja, Blastoise, or Mega Swampert excel here. Ground and Grass-types also deal super-effective damage.
After victory, you’ll receive the Red Orb and the opportunity to catch Groudon—one of the most iconic legendary Pokemon in the franchise.
