Tynamo, the Electric Pokemon that has now become way cooler than before thanks to its Mega Evolution (Mega Eelektross), has come to stay among the ranks of best partners to pick in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

And if trainers are having any doubts about Tynamo, how to evolve it into its final form, as well as the best Nature, EVs, moveset, and other important details, then they've come to the right place. This guide will help them catch and turn this Eel Pokemon into an Electric-type Powerhouse.

Where to Find Tynamo in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Tynamo is a Pokemon that only pops up in Wild Zone 10 and players need to delve deeper into this Pokemon sanctuary located in the southwestern side of Lumiose.

Tynamo has a low spawn rate, similar to other Pokemon like Eevee, so players need to be persistent if they want to find this slippery Eel.

Tynamo Evolution & Best Stats in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Tynamo evolves into Eelektrik at level 39, and then, players should use a Thunder Stone (found in the Stone Emporium) to turn Eelektrik into Eelektross.

Eelektross evolves during battle into Mega Eelektross, but players will need an Eelektrossite that can be purchased at Quasartico Inc. Once they have progressed enough with the main story.

Eelektross

Eelektross has a BST of 515, which turns to 615 once it Mega Evolves, putting Mega Eelektross in the range of Pseudo Legendaries. Here's the exact stat value table for Eelektross and its Mega Evolution:

  • HP: 85 (85)
  • Atk: 115 (→ 145)
  • Def: 80 (80)
  • SpAtk: 105 (→ 135)
  • SpDef: 80 (→ 90)
  • Speed: 50 (→ 80)

With a considerable boost to Speed, Atk, and SpAtk, Mega Eelektross becomes a powerful Hybrid attacker, so its reasonable to build it with moves like: Crunch, Charge, Thunderbolt, and Liquidation. Players can also replace Charge with Discharge but since Targeted AoE attacks are on the low in Legends Z-A, it is not recommended for PvP.

Now, Crunch is a decent spam and coverage move, while Liquidation is both a Physical Attack and Debuff move with extremely fast execution and moderate Cooldown, which is great to use in alternation with Crunch.

Charge is a 'close-the-gap' type of Move, with the advantage of also raising SpDef in the process, becoming ideal for dives versus Pokemon who prefer Special Attack ranged moves.

Eelektross has the advantage of Electric-types and also its single significant Weakness: Ground-types, that's why Liquidation is so important for this build, since it counters rivals like Tyranitar.

However, don't get too comfortable in melee range, and rotate using Thunderbolt when necessary, as Eelektross is not precisely bulky and the meta is ruled by fast melee attackers.

For Nature, trainers should pick Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk) if they are going for a full Physical build or Modest (+SpAtk, -Atk) depending if they want to alternate with Thunderbolt or any other move in its pool.

For Ev Spread values try 252HP/252SpAtk/4Def or 252HP/252Atk/4Def, both EV builds are good and fit Eelektross' kit quite well, thoug, again, mind the current melee meta and think about the best approach depending on which rivals this Pokemon is facing.
