Hey there, Pokemon trainers! If you're anything like me, you're probably on a mission to catch 'em all in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. And if you're a fan of the digital duck, Porygon, then you're definitely going to want to get your hands on its final evolution, Porygon-Z. But, like many things in the Hisui region, getting your hands on this Normal-type powerhouse isn't exactly a walk in the park. Don't worry, guys, I've got you covered! This guide will break down everything you need to know about finding Porygon-Z, from where to get the base form, Porygon, to the specific items and steps required to evolve it. Let's dive in and become Porygon-Z masters!

Catching Porygon: Your First Step

Before you can even think about evolving into Porygon-Z, you need a Porygon. Luckily, finding Porygon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is relatively straightforward, but it does require a little bit of legwork. So, let's look at where to find Porygon. The primary location to snag yourself a Porygon is in the Space-time Distortions. These are the areas that randomly appear in certain zones, and they're your best bet for finding rare Pokemon and items.

  • Obsidian Fieldlands: Space-time Distortions can appear here, and Porygon has a chance of spawning within these distortions. This is the earliest area you can potentially find Porygon.
  • Crimson Mirelands: Space-time Distortions are also known to happen in the Crimson Mirelands, and Porygon can appear here, too.
  • Cobalt Coastlands: Like the other two areas, the Cobalt Coastlands also sees Space-time Distortions, where Porygon can be discovered.
  • Coronet Highlands: Finally, Porygon can be found in the Space-time Distortions that occur in the Coronet Highlands.

Now, let's talk about the strategy. Space-time Distortions can be a bit unpredictable. They'll appear randomly while you're exploring the various areas. When one pops up, the game will give you a heads-up with a visual cue and an audio alert. Once you're in the distortion, your best bet is to explore. Don't forget to stock up on your supplies; Ultra Balls, a good supply of berries or other items to distract the Pokemon, and Potions/Revives are your best friends. The Pokemon in these distortions can be tough, and they can sometimes come in large numbers, so be prepared for a fight!

The Importance of Space-Time Distortions

Now, let's talk a little more about space-time distortions. They're more than just a place to find Porygon; they're your go-to spot for rare items. Within these distortions, you can often find evolutionary items, rare crafting materials, and even some powerful Pokemon that you wouldn't normally encounter at this stage of the game. That means that to evolve your Porygon, you will need to find the specific item that helps it to evolve, and this is typically found in the space-time distortions. When you're in a distortion, keep an eye out for these items; they're essential for evolving certain Pokemon, including Porygon. Don't forget to battle and capture any Pokemon you find, as they can also provide valuable experience and help you complete your Pokedex!

Evolving Porygon into Porygon-Z: The Key Items

Alright, so you've got your Porygon. Now comes the fun part: evolving it into Porygon-Z. Unlike some evolutions that just require leveling up, Porygon-Z requires a special item. Specifically, you need the Dubious Disc. This item is what allows Porygon to evolve into its final form. So where do you get the Dubious Disc? Here are the methods for obtaining one:

  • Space-Time Distortions: Yep, you guessed it! The Dubious Disc can sometimes be found within Space-Time Distortions. This is probably the most reliable method. Keep exploring these areas and picking up items, and eventually, you'll find it.
  • Trading Post: In Jubilife Village, there is a Trading Post. Sometimes, you can purchase the Dubious Disc from the Trading Post. The stock at the Trading Post changes periodically, so it's a good idea to check back regularly if you're looking for this item. You'll need to use Merit Points (MP) to purchase the item.
  • Completing Requests: Throughout the game, you'll encounter various requests from the residents of Jubilife Village. Some of these requests may reward you with a Dubious Disc upon completion. Keep an eye out for these opportunities.

Using the Dubious Disc

Once you have the Dubious Disc, here's how to evolve your Porygon:

  1. Give the Dubious Disc to Porygon: Like other evolution items, the Dubious Disc needs to be held by Porygon. You can give it to Porygon by going to your party and selecting Porygon, then selecting the option to give it an item.
  2. Trade Porygon: You must trade Porygon to another trainer to trigger the evolution. If you don't have a friend to trade with, you can also use your second controller.
  3. Watch the Magic Happen: Once the trade is complete, Porygon will evolve into Porygon2. Then, trade it again to trigger another evolution.

Tips and Tricks for Finding Porygon-Z

Alright, you know the basics, but here are some extra tips to make your Porygon-Z hunt even easier:

  • Be Patient: Finding Space-Time Distortions can sometimes take a while. Don't get discouraged! Keep exploring, and they'll eventually appear. Explore around the zones, and use your mount to get around.
  • Check the Map: The game will give you an indication of where Space-Time Distortions are occurring, so keep your eye on your map. This can save you a lot of time wandering around aimlessly.
  • Stock Up: Before you enter a Space-Time Distortion, make sure you have plenty of Poke Balls (Ultra Balls are recommended), Potions, and Revives. The Pokemon inside can be tough, and you'll want to be prepared.
  • Explore Thoroughly: When you're in a Space-Time Distortion, don't just focus on the Pokemon. Make sure to thoroughly search the area for items. The Dubious Disc might be hidden in a corner or near a rock.
  • Complete the Pokedex Entry: As you battle and catch Pokemon, remember to complete the Pokedex entry for both Porygon and Porygon2. This will give you some valuable experience and rewards, and it's a good way to track your progress.
  • Check the Trading Post Daily: The stock at the Trading Post changes daily, so it's a good idea to check back regularly if you're looking for the Dubious Disc. You may get lucky and find it for sale!

Conclusion: Your Porygon-Z is Waiting!

So there you have it, trainers! With a little patience, exploration, and the right items, you'll have a Porygon-Z in your party in no time. Remember to keep an eye out for those Space-Time Distortions, stock up on supplies, and be persistent. This Pokemon is well worth the effort.
