Follow our guide to complete The Budew Show side quest in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Learn how to find Budew, gather ₽5,800, and win the competition for a ₽10,000 reward!
Alright, so you've finished the main quest "Reaching Rank W" and you're ready for a little side-hustle? Great! Head over to the Vernal Pokémon Center, which is that spot southeast of Wild Zone 5. You'll find a guy named Jardin there, and he's going to invite you to a friendly competition all about Budew. Sounds fun, right?
Walkthrough
- 1Find a Budew and ₽5,800: First things first, you need to find yourself a Budew. They like to hang out in the southern part of the island. If you can't sneak up on it for a capture, you'll have to battle it. Budew is weak against Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Ground, and Psychic-type moves, so bring something that can exploit those weaknesses. You also need at least ₽5,800 to even participate. Don't worry if you don't have it yet; you can easily get more cash by finishing up other side quests or by grinding through those nightly battle zones.
- 2Capture the Budew: Once you've got the cash, head over to Wild Zone 2. You'll see a Budew there. The key here is to sneak up on it from behind for an easier capture.
- 3Win the Competition: With your Budew in hand and the required ₽5,800 in your pocket, make your way to Jardin. He's usually hanging out near the Fountain Square in Bleu Sector 8. A little scene will play out, and your Budew will totally dominate the competition.
- You'll receive ₽10,000 for winning the competition, and that's the end of this quest!
Tips
- If you're struggling to find Budew, try looking in the southern areas of the island. Sometimes it just takes a bit of patience and exploring different spots.
- Don't underestimate the nightly battle zones for earning cash quickly if you're short on the ₽5,800 requirement.
