Tyrunt is a fossil Pokémon of the Rock/Dragon type in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, evolving into Tyrantrum, known for being one of the game’s most formidable attackers. To acquire Tyrunt, players must utilize the fossil revival mechanic, which is not immediately accessible and requires players to progress through the main story in PLZA.
Moreover, there are specific requirements that need to be fulfilled to evolve Tyrunt into its evolved form, Tyrantrum. Thus, trainers aiming to include this mighty ancient dragon on their roster should be well-informed about these requirements. This guide provides instructions on reviving Tyrunt from a fossil and its subsequent evolution into Tyrantrum.
Acquiring Tyrunt in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Location of the Tyrunt Fossil
The Tyrunt can be obtained by restoring the Jaw Fossil at the Lab situated on the second floor of the Pokémon Research Center, located in southern Lumiose City within Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
The Jaw Fossil is available for purchase at the Stone Emporium for 20,000 Poke Dollars. This emporium is located on Vernal Avenue, just south of the Pokémon Center.
It is vital to note that the Fossil Restoration feature in PLZA becomes accessible only after completing Side Mission 27: Restored from a Fossil at the Pokémon Research Lab. This side mission unlocks once players finish Main Mission 10: The Secrets of Mega Evolution and reach Ranked F by defeating Vinnie in a Z-A Royale Promotion Match.
In Side Mission 27, a researcher located on the second floor of the Lab assigns players 20,000 Poke Dollars and requests them to purchase a fossil from the Stone Emporium. The Jaw Fossil transforms into Tyrunt, while the Sail Fossil revives into Amaura. After the Lab researcher revives the fossil, they will hand over the restored ancient Pokémon to the player free of charge.
To revive any additional fossil Pokémon, players will need to buy the relevant fossil from the Stone Emporium and bring it back to the researcher on the second floor of the Pokémon Research Center.
Evolving Tyrunt in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Evolution Level of Tyrunt
Tyrunt can evolve into Tyrantrum at level 39 during the daytime. Players can toggle between day and night by resting at any bench in Lumiose City or by sleeping in their bed at Hotel AZ.
When Tyrunt reaches level 39 or higher during the day, simply place it in the main party, and an evolution prompt will appear on its portrait in the pause menu. Select A while Tyrunt is highlighted and choose «Evolve» to facilitate its evolution into Tyrantrum.
To expedite Tyrunt’s level progression to 39 quickly, players can either feed it EXP. Candies and Rare Candies or equip it with a Lucky Egg, which doubles the experience gained in battles.
