Meditite has always been a fascinating Pokémon for trainers who enjoy balanced fighting and psychic strategies. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, this humble meditator returns with new mechanics and some interesting tweaks to its evolution process. If you’re wondering how to evolve Meditite into Medicham in this game, here’s everything you need to know.
Where to Find Meditite
Meditite can be found early to mid-game in mountainous or high-altitude regions, often meditating near cliffs or temples. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, these areas tend to be populated with Fighting- and Psychic-type Pokémon, so bringing a Flying- or Ghost-type Pokémon can make the encounters much easier. Make sure to stock up on Great Balls before heading out, as Meditite can be a bit evasive when approached.
How to Evolve Meditite into Medicham
The evolution process is straightforward: Meditite evolves into Medicham once it reaches Level 37. There’s no special evolution item or condition this time around, so you just need to focus on consistent training.
However, Pokémon Legends: Z-A encourages natural growth through battle experience rather than over-reliance on XP items. To level up Meditite efficiently, use it against Pokémon weak to Fighting- or Psychic-type attacks—like Dark or Poison types.
If you prefer a quicker route, participating in the Battle Park challenges or Mass Outbreak battles can help you gain experience fast.
Best Moves for Medicham
Once evolved, Medicham becomes a versatile attacker with access to powerful moves like High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt, and Calm Mind. These allow it to perform well both offensively and defensively, depending on your team setup.
For a balanced build, consider:
-
High Jump Kick for raw power
-
Zen Headbutt for solid Psychic coverage
-
Bulk Up to boost both attack and defense
-
Recover (if available through Move Tutor) for sustainability
This setup makes Medicham especially strong in mid- to late-game battles, and it can hold its own even against Mega-evolved opponents.
Tips for Collectors and Shiny Hunters
If you’re a completionist or shiny collector, you might want to look for a shiny Meditite. Its blue color palette makes it one of the more visually striking shiny Pokémon in the game. Shiny hunting in Pokémon Legends: Z-A can be time-consuming, but the odds improve with higher research levels and catching bonuses.
Some players prefer to buy shiny Pokémon Legends ZA instead of hunting them manually, while others use trades to buy all shiny ZA collections for their teams. Regardless of your approach, shiny Medicham is definitely a trophy worth having.
Evolving Meditite in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is simple in theory but rewarding in practice. Its transformation into Medicham opens up strong competitive and exploration opportunities, especially if you enjoy strategic battling. Whether you catch, train, or trade for your ideal Medicham, it’s a reliable addition to any team—and a great step toward mastering the world of Mega Evolutions and advanced Psychic combat.
