How to Break Vines

Learn how to break vines in Pokémon Legends: Z-A using Grass or Fire-type moves. Discover which Pokémon and moves are best for clearing these obstacles and finding hidden rewards.

Hey there! So, you've run into some pesky vines blocking your path in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, huh? Don't worry, it's a common early-game hurdle, and I'll show you exactly how to deal with them. The trick is to use the right type of Pokémon move – either Grass or Fire. Think of it like this: Grass-type moves can cut through nature's obstacles, while Fire-type moves can just burn them right up!

You'll want a Pokémon that knows a move like Ember, Fire Punch, or Razer Leaf. If you've got one of those on your team, here's the simple process: first, lock onto the vines using the ZL button, then unleash your Grass or Fire-type move. Easy peasy!

If you're looking to break vines early on, I've got a handy table of Pokémon that can help you out:

There's also a chance that Pichu and Pikachu could learn the Grass Knot TM move, though it hasn't been confirmed yet. So, feel free to grab any of these Pokémon from the early Wild Zones – chances are you'll find something perfect for clearing those vines!

And hey, breaking those vines isn't just for getting past them; they often hide some sweet rewards! For instance, in Wild Zone 34, there are a few vines concealing items. You can even find the Fire Spin move hidden behind vines in another Wild Zone. So, it's definitely worth your time to break them whenever you spot them on the map.
