In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, to Mega Evolve Ampharos, you will need to find the Ampharosite Mega Stone, which becomes available later in the main story. Getting Ampharosite is quite straightforward once you know where to go and what to do. Our Pokemon Legends: Z-A Ampharosite Guide details how you can get Ampharosite and mega evolve your Ampharos.
Ampharosite Guide – Pokemon Legends Z-A
After you complete the Main Mission 20: A Request from the Rust Syndicate, a new Main Mission 23 will be unlocked. In this mission, you can obtain Ampharosite by defeating the Rogue Mega Ampharos. This mission takes place just south of Wild Zone 4. In the mission, you will be sent to the Rouge District to meet Naveen. You will both fight against this Mega Ampharos.
Once you have defeated Gwynn of the Fist of Justice, the holovator leading up to the rooftops will activate. This will enable you to move to the next section of the mission.
How to Reach Rogue Mega Ampharos
Use the Holovator to teleport to the rooftop. Once you arrive, turn right and walk straight ahead until you see a Patrat next to some metal scaffolding. Walk across the metal platform to reach the next rooftop, where you’ll find a ladder directly in front of you. Climb it. Cross to the next rooftop using the connecting bridge, or if you prefer, use Roto Gliding to cross the gap.
After crossing, destroy the Mega Shards blocking your path and climb the next ladder. Turn left and you will find another metal bridge, cross it, then turn right. Here you’ll spot a bright, golden glowing item, which is the Toxic Spikes TM. From there, drop down to the balcony just to the left of the Toxic Spikes TM. Walk along this balcony until you find another ladder near some Mega Shards. Climb it, and at the top, you’ll finally come across the Rogue Mega Ampharos.
