Meet Pokemon Legends: ZA's 20th DLC Mega Evolution

There is no actual Mega Dondozo in the game, but you might be surprised to know this. Pokemon Legends: ZA If you remove the ability, Dondozo actually has Commander as a hidden talent and functions identically to the Gen 9 games. To activate “Mega Dondojo” PLZAYou must:

Pick Tatsugiri in battle even if he doesn't use the move.
Switch to Dondozo and activate the Commander.
- Tatsugiri enters Dondozo's mouth, preventing Dondozo from switching.
- Dondozo becomes incredibly powerful by gaining stat boosts in all of his stats, which is the only guaranteed way to achieve this in the game currently.

Stats increase Pokemon Legends: ZA It works differently than other mainline games where you can go from +1 to +6 and even down to -6. You can also technically gain multiple stat boost stages in a single swing, for example Swords Dance grants +2 to attack.

Mega Tatsugiri from Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension DLC (3)

Pokemon Scarlet and VioletThe Dondozo and Tatsugiri combo works in a similar way. Players must activate Commander by outing Tatsugiri in a double battle and then switching Pokemon in favor of Dondozo. However, the main differences are:

Dondozo's Commander ability can be activated from: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The same goes if you have Dondozo and switch Tatsugiri to the side. in PLZAYou can only activate Commander by switching Tatsugiri with Dondozo.
Dondozo's Commander ability gives a stat boost of +2 to all stats instead of a one-time stat boost to all stats.

In Pokémon Legends: ZA, stat boosts can be positive or negative, but using red or blue items in ranked battles can further increase your Pokémon's stats. The former increases attack power and the latter reduces damage taken.

Pokemon Legends: Why ZA's Dondojo is OP and how to get it

Pokemon Legends: ZAThe best teams usually use some form of ultra-offensive attacker and defensive Pokemon to transition or lead. A common strategy is to use a “Screen Setter” that can use both Reflect and Light Screen, making you and all Pokémon on your team more resistant to physical and special attacks respectively.

The problem is that Screen Setter can be used in a team with Tatsugiri and Dondozo, then use Reflect and Light Screen, then switch to Tatsugiri, and finally Dondozo, giving you an overall boost to your stats while reducing your damage overall. This is a very powerful combo and requires a bit of setup, but you can use both the screen setter and Tatsugiri to attack before swapping to get more value and build up Dondozo's mega energy.

Why Mega Energy is Important for Dondozo in Pokemon Legends: ZA

Dondozo doesn't have a Mega Evolution, but he can use the Plus Move on: Pokemon Legends: ZA. This combined with the attack boost and max attack IV and EV can be very lethal.

If you are wondering how to get Dondojo, you need to find a hyperspace wild zone (minimum 3-star zone) with water attribute as the focus. Dondojo appears in Tatsugiri's group and replaces Tatsugiri.
