Skarmory Location and How to Catch in Pokemon Legends Z-A

How to Catch Skarmory in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Get Rid of the Lions

What makes Skarmory in Wild Zone 17 annoying to catch is not that its spawn rate is low, but it's because of the multiple Pyroar (and Alpha Pyroar) that inhabit the north side of the sectioned area.

There are a couple of things to take note of before going in to catch a Skarmory, but what you should know is that it does spawn in the north area, and it can appear during the day or night. It's also worth noting that it tends to spawn in the air, so be on the lookout. It can also show up on the rooftop that you can get to by climbing the ladder in the northwest corner.

If you don't have a powerful Water-type Pokemon that can use a big move like Surf, then we recommend entering Wild Zone 17 from the northwest gate. You can fast travel to the nearby Cafe Cyclone to reset the zone spawns, go to the nearby bridge to enter the zone, and then check to see if Skarmory is there without needing to alert the Pyroar.

This way, you can also climb the zone's ladder to reach the rooftops to get a better look. You should actually be able to throw a Poke Ball at Skarmory while it's in the air, and if you knock it out while it's flying, it'll remain stunned in the air.

We recommend using a Dusk Ball if you encounter a Skarmory at night. Using Quick Balls before a Pokemon spots you can also prove to be super-effective. Another way to have better chances of catching a pocket monster is to get and upgrade the Canari Dolls with Colorful Screws.

How to Get Skarmorite in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Time to Megaaaa

You can buy yourself a shiny Skarmorite to Mega Evolve Skarmory at Quasartico's Mega Shard Exchange counter for 240 Mega Shards. However, it won't be available until after main mission 25.

Once you have the stone, you can make your Skarmory hold onto it. Once you gather enough energy during a battle, click into the right stick to unleash the energy and evolve Skarmory. It's worth noting that Skarmory retains its dual Steel/Flying typing when it transforms into Mega Skarmory.
