How to Find and Catch Every Pokemon in the Hyperspace Pokedex

As of late 2026, the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A has introduced a significant layer of depth to the Lumiose City experience. Central to this expansion is the Hyperspace Pokedex , a specialized catalog of 132 Pokémon that have been pulled across space-time by the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa. Unlike the standard regional Pokédex, completing this list requires a deep understanding of portal mechanics, point-farming efficiency, and the hidden "pity" systems that govern Legendary encounters.

What Is the Hyperspace Pokedex in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?

The Hyperspace Pokédex serves as a secondary regional index within the Mega Dimension DLC. According to PokemonDB , these encounters are localized within "Hyperspace Lumiose Portals," which appear as shimmering rings throughout the city. These portals are not mere random encounters; they represent localized distortions where Pokémon from other regions—and even other timelines—manifest temporarily.

The lore suggests that Hoopa, in its attempt to "collect" the wonders of Lumiose, has inadvertently created these rifts. Players must enter these dimensions to document the species within. The total count stands at 132 Pokémon, though Bulbapedia notes that only 131 are strictly necessary for the completion reward. Zeraora, the 132nd entry, is a Mythical Pokémon that remains exempt from the "Complete" status requirement, much like Mythicals in previous titles.

To trigger this content, players must have completed the main story of Legends: Z-A . Once the credits roll, a mysterious ring appears in the center of Lumiose City, initiating the questline that unlocks the Hyperspace Pokédex and the ability to track these interdimensional visitors.

Full List of All 132 Pokemon in the Hyperspace Pokedex

The Hyperspace Pokédex is a curated mix of returning favorites, regional variants, and brand-new Mega Evolutions. While the full list is extensive, it is categorized by the "Portal Tier" required to find them. Higher-tier portals (4 and 5 stars) require more Hyperspace Points to scan but yield significantly rarer rewards.

Dex #	Pokémon Name	Portal Tier	Mega Evolution?
001-009	Kanto Starters & Evos	1-2 Stars	Yes (Charizard X/Y, etc.)
010-025	Regional Birds/Bugs	1 Star	No
045-050	Scovillain Line	3 Stars	Yes (New Mega)
088-092	Glimmora Line	4 Stars	Yes (New Mega)
110-115	Baxcalibur Line	5 Stars	Yes (New Mega)
120-130	Legendary Trio/Birds	Special Scan	No
131	Hoopa	Story Event	Yes (Unbound)
132	Zeraora	Event/Special	No

New Mega Evolutions to Prioritize

One of the primary draws of the Mega Dimension DLC is the introduction of several new Mega Evolutions. These forms are widely considered among the top choices for competitive play within the DLC's "Rogue Mega Battle" mode. According to IGN , players should prioritize obtaining the Mega Stones for the following:

• Mega Scovillain: Gains the "Chlorophyll" ability and a massive boost to Special Attack.
• Mega Glimmora: Its "Toxic Debris" ability is enhanced, laying two layers of Toxic Spikes upon being hit.
• Mega Tatsugiri: A unique Mega that interacts with Dondozo in new, highly impactful ways.
• Mega Baxcalibur: Becomes a physical powerhouse with the "Thermal Exchange" ability providing immunity to Burn.

Regional Form Variants Comparison

The Hyperspace Pokédex is unique because it allows different regional forms to coexist in the same environment. This provides a rare opportunity to catch Alolan, Galarian, and Hisuian forms side-by-side.

How to Use Hoopa Portals and Special Scans Effectively

Navigating the Hyperspace Pokédex is not as simple as walking through a door. Each portal has a "Donut Timer"—a 5-minute window during which you must complete your objectives. If the timer hits zero, you are ejected from the dimension, and the portal despawns.

Portal tiers (1 to 5 stars) dictate the rarity of the spawns. While 1-star portals are common and free to enter, 5-star portals require "Special Scans." These scans consume Hyperspace Points, which are earned through battles and exploration within the Mega Dimension. Many players find the 5-minute limit stressful, but it is designed to encourage efficient movement and quick decision-making.

Understanding the 6th Scan Legendary Pity System

One of the most significant advancements in Legends: Z-A is the hard-coded "Pity System" for Legendaries. Community data-mining efforts on r/LegendsZA have confirmed that the game tracks your Special Scans. Every 6th Special Scan is guaranteed to trigger a Legendary encounter.

The Fastest Way to Farm Hyperspace Points Using Rogue Mega Battles

Standard grinding in low-tier portals is exceptionally slow. To complete the Hyperspace Pokédex efficiently, you must master the "Rogue Mega Battle" meta. These are high-difficulty battles against Mega-Evolved Pokémon that roam Lumiose City during the DLC story.

The community has developed a strategy that ranks among the top for efficiency: the Gourgeist and Annihilape Combo . This method allows players to clear battles in seconds, maximizing point yield per hour.

1. Step 1: Trick-or-Treat. Lead with Gourgeist and use the move Trick-or-Treat . This adds the Ghost-type to the opponent, regardless of their original typing.
2. Step 2: Rage Fist. Switch to (or use in doubles) Annihilape. Because the opponent is now a Ghost-type, Annihilape’s Rage Fist —which is already boosted by any damage taken—becomes super effective and typically results in an instant OHKO.
3. Step 3: Reset. After the battle, rest on a nearby bench to reset the spawns and repeat the process.

Data suggests that three successful Rogue Mega Battles provide enough points for one Special Scan. This is a significant step forward compared to the 15-20 standard battles required otherwise.

How the Donut System and Hyperspace Berries Work

Hyperspace Berries are a new resource found within portals. These berries are used to craft "Donuts," which are consumed before entering a portal to apply various buffs. According to player reports on r/PokemonZA , managing these berries is one of the most challenging aspects of the DLC.

Different Donuts provide different effects:

• Lumiose Glaze: Increases the chance of finding Shiny Pokémon within the portal.
• Space-Time Sprinkles: Extends the "Donut Timer" from 5 minutes to 8 minutes.
• Mega Filling: Guarantees that at least one Pokémon in the portal will be holding its respective Mega Stone.

Because berries are scarce, many players utilize a "Save-Reset" strategy. By saving the game before crafting and entering a portal, you can reset if the spawns are not what you need, effectively preserving your rare berries for a better roll.

Tips for Finding Rare Spawns and Legendary Pokemon

Some Pokémon in the Hyperspace Pokédex have notoriously low spawn rates, leading to what some call "RNG hell." However, certain hidden mechanics can make these hunts more manageable.

The Feebas "Seen" Requirement: A common pitfall for players is the search for Feebas. Community research indicates that Feebas will not appear as a silhouette in water-type zones until you have "seen" it in a trainer battle. There is a specific NPC in the Lumiose Sewers who uses a Feebas; battling them is a prerequisite for Feebas to start spawning in the wild portals.

Hunting Hisuian Qwilfish and Frigibax: These two species are often the final hurdles for completionists. They typically only spawn in 4-star portals during "Snowy" weather conditions. You can manipulate the weather in Lumiose by changing the system clock or by using a "Chilly Donut" to force a cold-weather dimension.

Evolution Methods: It is important to note that Legends: Z-A continues the trend of removing trade requirements. Items like the "Linking Cord" or specific evolution items (like the Dubious Disc for Porygon-Z) can be used directly on the Pokémon to trigger evolution, as confirmed by Nintendo Life .

What Rewards Do You Get for Completing the Hyperspace Pokedex?

Completing the Hyperspace Pokédex is a monumental task, often taking players upwards of 200 hours if they are pursuing a "Living Dex." The rewards, however, are notably innovative and provide significant utility for the endgame.

• The Shiny Charm: Increases the base shiny rate for all Pokémon, including those in the base game.
• Hoopa's Prison Bottle: Allows you to transform Hoopa into its "Unbound" form at will.
• The Origin Mark: All Pokémon caught in the Hyperspace Pokédex receive a special mark that grants them a unique title in battle ("The Interdimensional Traveler").
• Infinite Special Scans: Once the Pokédex is complete (131/132), the cost of Special Scans is reduced to zero, allowing you to hunt for perfect IVs or Shinies without grinding points.
