After the Alpha Pokemon, a conversation will begin. Choose honestly and you’ll earn Mesprit’s Plume.

Riddle: “Combee. Zubat. Unown. Magneton. Dusclops. How many are their eyes? Tell me each, one by one yet all at once.”

Lake Valor Trial

• Alpha Pokemon Battle: Overqwil [Lvl. 58] is a Dark / Poison type. Fight, Bug, Fairy, Ground, and Psychic types are all effective here.

The final trial gives you Balms and puts you in a Noble Pokemon battle against Azelf. Azelf doesn’t try to attack you but will dodge every balm you throw. Don’t give up!

To hit Azelf, you need to sneak behind it. Wait for it to teleport away from you after a throw attempt, then sneak until you can hit its back. If you’re too close or if its aware of your presence, it will turn to face you. One hit to the back and Azelf’s trial will be complete. You’ll gain Azel’s Fang.
