Where to Find Eviolite

Discover how to get the Eviolite hold item in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! Learn about Side Mission 100 Starmie on High and where to find Starmie.

Alright, so you're looking to snag an Eviolite in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, huh? Smart move! This little guy is fantastic for Pokémon that haven't reached their final evolution yet, giving them a sweet boost to their Defense and Sp. Def. Think of it like giving your pre-evolved buddy some extra armor while they're still growing.

Just a heads-up, though: Pokémon that can Mega Evolve don't get any benefit from Eviolite, so don't bother trying to give it to something like Scizor.

How to Get Eviolite:

The main way you'll get your hands on an Eviolite is by completing Side Mission 100, called 'Starmie on High'. You'll be able to pick this one up once you've started Main Mission 35, and it's important to know that this mission *only* appears during the daytime.

Walkthrough:

Here's the game plan: Head east from Wild Zone 7. You'll want to stick to the north side of the canal, and you should spot a woman standing there – she's your quest giver. Map Marker

Now, the catch is that you need to return to her when it's nighttime, and you'll need a Starmie in your party. If it's not night when you get the quest, don't sweat it! You can either wait it out or find a park bench to rest and skip ahead to nighttime.

Finding a Starmie:

So, where do you find a Starmie? Your best bet is Wild Zone 16, specifically at night. Look around the fountain area. It's a bit of a rare spawn, so you might find yourself running into Barbaracle more often. Don't get discouraged if you don't see one right away!

If you're having trouble finding a Starmie, there's a backup plan. You can catch a Staryu in Wild Zone 2, also at night. Once you've got your Staryu, you can use a Water Stone to evolve it into Starmie. You can pick up Water Stones from the Stone Emporium whenever you need them.

Completing the Mission:

Once you've got your Starmie ready and you've returned to the quest giver at night, just chat with her. Enjoy the quirky dialogue – or speed through it if you're in a hurry – and boom! You'll receive your Eviolite as a reward. Easy peasy!
