How to Evolve Tynamo in Pokemon Legends Z-A

by

Tynamo, the Electric-type Pokémon, is now a top pick in Pokémon Legends Z-A, especially with its powerful Mega Evolution into Mega Eelektross. It’s become a truly valuable partner for players.

If you’re a Pokémon trainer wondering how to evolve Tynamo and build the best version of it – including choosing the right Nature, training its EVs, and teaching it the best moves – you’ve come to the right place! This guide will show you how to catch and evolve this Electric-type Pokémon into a powerful battler.

Where to Find Tynamo in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Tynamo is a Pokémon that appears only in a specific location: a hidden sanctuary deep within the southwestern part of Lumiose City. Players need to explore thoroughly to find it.

Tynamo is rare, just like Pokémon such as Eevee, so you’ll need to search diligently if you want to catch one of these eel-like creatures.

Tynamo Evolution & Best Stats in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Tynamo becomes Eelektrik at level 39. To get the final evolution, Eelektross, you’ll need to use a Thunder Stone, which you can buy at the Stone Emporium.

Eelektross can transform into Mega Eelektross during battles, but you’ll need a special item called an Eelektrossite. You can buy this item at Quasartico Inc. after you’ve made enough progress in the game’s story.

Eelektross has a base stat total of 515. When it Mega Evolves, this increases to 615, making it comparable to powerful Pokémon known as Pseudo Legendaries. Here’s a breakdown of its stats, both before and after Mega Evolution:

  • HP: 85 (85)
  • Atk: 115 (→ 145)
  • Def: 80 (80)
  • SpAtk: 105 (→ 135)
  • SpDef: 80 (→ 90)
  • Speed: 50 (→ 80)

Mega Eelektross gets a significant increase in Speed, Attack, and Special Attack, making it a strong mixed attacker. A good moveset for it includes Crunch, Charge, Thunderbolt, and Liquidation. While Discharge can replace Charge, it’s not ideal for player-versus-player battles in Legends Z-A because area-of-effect attacks aren’t as effective.

Crunch is a reliable attack for dealing damage and breaking defenses. Liquidation is a quick physical attack that also weakens opponents, and it works well when used alongside Crunch.

Charge is a move designed to reduce weakness, and it also boosts Special Defense. This makes it particularly useful when facing Pokémon that primarily use Special Attack moves.

Eelektross benefits from being an Electric-type, but its main weakness is Ground-type attacks. That’s why the Liquidation move is crucial for this strategy, as it helps defeat opponents like Tyranitar.

Try not to stay close to opponents for too long, and use Thunderbolt to create distance when you need to. Eelektross isn’t very durable, and many powerful, quick attackers dominate the current game.

When training Nature, choose Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack) if you’re focusing on physical attacks. If you prefer a mix of attacks, including Thunderbolt or other special moves, Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack) is a better choice.

When deciding on Effort Value (EV) spreads for Eelektross, two good options are 252 HP/252 Special Attack/4 Defense, or 252 HP/252 Attack/4 Defense. Both builds work well with its abilities, but consider the current trend of close-combat focused opponents and choose the spread that best counters the Pokémon you expect to battle.
