AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive guide from Polygon details how to unlock Side Mission 195 in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC, gather 999 Mega Shards, and claim Magearna alongside its new Mega Stone.
Players diving into the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A have a new mythical challenge on their hands. If you want to add Magearna to your roster, you will need to look past standard encounters and tackle a specific post-game questline. According to a detailed guide by Austin Manchester over at Polygon, unlocking the mythical Pokémon requires completing base game requirements and navigating the new content added in the expansion.
To kick off the process, you must first clear the base game's main missions, reach post-game content, and complete Side Mission 190, which involves hunting down a Mimikyu in the Hyperspace Lumiose wild zones for an NPC named Vinnie. Once that quest is wrapped up, returning to Quasartico and speaking with CEO Jett will trigger Side Mission 195, titled Restarting Magearna. This is where the real resource gathering begins for dedicated trainers.
Jett tasks players with collecting a staggering 999 Mega Shards so Quasartico can fabricate Magearnite, the Mega Stone needed to awaken the mythical Pokémon. While the number sounds steep, players who thoroughly explore Lumiose City and hop through Hyperspace wild portals while smashing pink stones will find these materials accumulate quickly. Handing over the shards completes the quest, awakening Magearna and granting you the Magearnite to use in future battles. You can read the full walkthrough over at Polygon.
