How to Get Phantump & Trevenant in Pokemon Legends Z-A

by

Phantump has a particularly creepy backstory, and in Legends Z-A, you can find this playful Ghost/Grass-type Pokémon hidden around Lumiose City if you search carefully.

Many players want Phantump on their team because it’s effective against a wide range of Pokémon types, including Psychic, Water, Ground, Rock, Electric, Normal, and Fighting. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about catching Phantump and evolving it into Trevenant.

Where to Find Phantump in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Phantump appears in Wild Zone 13 only at night, so you may need to progress a bit in the main story to unlock that area first. Once you have access to Wild Zone 13, look for Phantump along the walls of the building – it usually spawns near an Alpha Trevenant.

How to Evolve Phantump into Trevenant in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Phantump evolves under specific circumstances – it needs to be traded to evolve. The way to get a Trevenant has been updated; you now have to manually trigger the evolution. Here’s how to evolve Phantump into Trevenant:

  1. Open the menu (X)
  2. Select Link Trade
  3. Enter code 0182-0182 for a Phantump trade (or trade with a trusted friend).
  4. Once Phantump arrives, it will have its evolution icon will light up.
  5. Select Phantump in the menu and then ‘Evolve.’
  6. Phantump will evolve into Trevenant.

Okay, so if you’re like me and just trying to complete the Pokedex, good news! There’s an Alpha Trevenant that spawns in Wild Area 13 at night. That means you can just catch it instead of having to evolve a Phantump, which saves a lot of time and effort.

Phantump

Trevenant is a pretty good Pokémon, boasting a base stat total of 474. While it doesn’t quite reach the 500 stat mark for top-tier status, it’s still strong enough to hold its own against other Pokémon of similar types.

Trevenant’s biggest strength lies in moves like Forest’s Curse. This move changes the opponent’s type to Grass, which removes any damage boosts they normally get from their original type and makes them weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Bug, and Poison attacks.

As a Trevenant fan, I’ve found that teaching it physical moves like Shadow Claw, Wood Hammer, and Poison Jab really expands its offensive options. And here’s a cool trick: pairing Poison Jab with Forest’s Curse can take down a lot of strong opponents – even those considered top-tier! It takes some strategy, but it’s super effective when you pull it off.

Trevenant has good HP (85), Defense (78), and Special Defense (82), but can be made even better with the right Effort Value (EV) distribution. For a Trevenant that can take more damage, use 252 HP, 252 Defense, and 6 Special Defense. If you want to specifically counter Special Attackers, try 252 HP, 6 Defense, and 252 Special Defense. For a more offensive Trevenant, a spread of 252 HP, 252 Attack, and 6 Speed is recommended.
