How to Find and Defeat Kyogre in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

Pokémon Legends: Z-A continues to captivate fans on the Nintendo Switch with its innovative gameplay, sprawling environments, and the introduction of new story-driven downloadable content, the Mega Dimension DLC.

Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, this highly anticipated expansion has not only brought back fan-favorite Legendary Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre, but also introduced challenging mechanics and rewarding post-game content that further enrich the main adventure.

Within the Mega Dimension DLC, players must progress through the main story and successfully defeat the final boss to unlock the opportunity to encounter both Groudon and Kyogre.

Advancing the narrative requires accumulating sufficient Hyperspace Survey points, a core gameplay mechanic that drives exploration and battle completion.

After meeting these criteria, players are introduced to Corbeau's latest culinary creation—a new donut recipe pivotal for summoning Kyogre. To meet the rigorous requirements for attracting Kyogre, trainers must craft a donut using a precise berry combination.

Through careful experimentation, the ideal recipe has been determined: two Hyper Charti Berries, two Hyper Colbur Berries, two Hyper Payapa Berries, one Hyper Tanga Berry, and one Hyper Shuca Berry.

These particular ingredients deliver the exact flavor levels required to fulfill Kyogre’s summoning criteria.

If certain berries are missing from your inventory, players are encouraged to use regular berries in place of Hyper variants and farm 1-star Hyperspace pockets to obtain them.

Clearing these pockets involves breaking all Poke Balls, accomplishing the listed tasks, and targeting the bonus ball, which can be repeatedly farmed by saving before the encounter and resetting as necessary for optimal berry drops.

Additionally, NPCs encountered in 4-star Hyperspace Battle Zones may reward trainers with berries after battle, further easing the berry acquisition process. Once the custom donut is crafted, prepare for a two-phase battle against Kyogre, which incorporates a Rogue Mega Evolution mechanic unique to the DLC.

For this encounter, trainers should note that Kyogre only exhibits weaknesses to Electric- and Grass-type moves.

Those who selected Meganium as a starter Pokémon may find this battle particularly manageable.

Fortunately, Kyogre is not considered the most difficult boss in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but it is recommended to ensure your team is adequately leveled for a smooth victory. It is important to note that Kyogre is Shiny-locked in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which means players cannot encounter a Shiny variant.

For those seeking an aesthetically pleasing catch, the Great Ball is suggested, as its color scheme complements Kyogre well. The Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC is available now via the Nintendo eShop, contributing significantly to the game's growing popularity on the Nintendo Switch platform.
