Wild Zone 15 is one of the trickiest areas in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, as it is home to one of the most elusive Pokemon in the game: Larvitar. Those hoping to obtain a Larvitar to get 100% completion may find themselves frustrated, as it can be difficult to find unless you know exactly where to look.

This guide covers the locations of all Pokemon in Wild Zone 15, the best routes to reach their hiding spots, as well as all prerequisites players will need to do before they become available. Here's the breakdown.

Larvitar Location

  • Time: Day/Night

Larvitar is located on the rooftops of Wild Zone 15. However, it is impossible to get to these rooftops from inside the zone. To reach there, you'll first need to unlock the Holovator on the building nearby (shown above) by completing Side Mission 80: A Shocking Territorial Dispute.

Side Mission 80 only unlocks in Main Mission 26: An Invitation From the SBC. During this mission, you'll need to visit a boutique to get a fashionable suit to go to the SBC event. Once you have acquired this suit, Side Mission 80 will appear next to the Holovator's location.

Complete Side Mission 80 by defeating the Manectric and Ampharos blocking the Holovator, and you'll be able to make it functional. Use the Holovator to teleport to the top of the building, then turn left and destroy the spider web sac to form a web bridge. Cross the bridge and enter Wild Zone 15's rooftop gate to find Larvitar.
