Note: If a Pokemon is obtained through breeding, make sure the parent Pokemon are not holding any items to obtain it.
Note 2: Any evolution methods involving day or night depend on the system’s internal clock. You do NOT see nighttime in the game.
Note 3: Pokemon numbers correspond to Pokemon Z and not the official numbering; many will be the same, but some will be altered.
Note 4: The methods for obtaining Legendary Pokemon are better explained in “Legendaries and Locations,” so it is recommended to check there.
