You’ll begin this mission after Main Mission 15, once the meeting wraps up. Head to Sector 3 of Magenta District, just east of Wild Zone 9. The Hawlucha is perched on a rooftop, and the easiest way to get there is by using the yellow outdoor elevator on Estival Avenue.

Once you’re up top, walk toward the objective marker and talk to Lida, who explains that Hawlucha has gone missing from its expected spot. From there, stay on the rooftops and move north and you’ll spot another objective marker that leads to the actual encounter.

How to beat Rogue Mega Hawlucha in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Rogue Mega Hawlucha sits at Level 41 and comes packed with high-speed attacks that hit hard if you mistime your dodges. It’s a Fighting and Flying-type Pokemon, and it’s weak to Electric, Flying, Ice, Fairy, and Psychic moves, while being immune to Ground-type attacks.

During battle, Mega Hawlucha jumps around the field, often closing distance quickly before launching attacks. Close-range counters and quick projectiles work well since it rarely stays still for long.

Recommended Pokemon to use

Because of its typing, Mega Hawlucha gives players several counter options. Pokemon with Psychic or Fairy moves are especially strong, but Flying, Ice, or Electric types also work.

Mega Gardevoir is arguably the recommended pick. It can deal heavy damage with Psyshock and Dazzling Gleam, both of which hit Hawlucha’s weaknesses. Since Gardevoir resists most of Hawlucha’s attacks, it can stay in the fight longer. Using Calm Mind boosts its Special Attack and Defense, helping you tank through surprise hits.

If you prefer something sturdier, Slowbro is another choice. It doesn’t hit as fast as Gardevoir, but its bulk lets it survive longer against Hawlucha’s quick combos. Moves like Psybeam, Psyshock, and Zen Headbutt deal effective damage while keeping pressure steady.

Pair it with Lida’s Starmie, which can use Reflect to strengthen both Pokemon’s defenses.
