Tynamo is an Electric-type Pokémon that's very easy to miss in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. For a start, they're tiny, and secondly, their main habitat is surrounded by dozens of leaping Carvanha that'll be aggressive towards you as soon as they see you. Tynamo's final evolution in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Eelektross – is also not as straight-forward as simply levelling the electric fish up.

To help you with completing the Pokédex and getting your hands on a Mega Eelektross, here's how to evolve Tynamo in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, as well as where to get Eelektrite.

To evolve Tynamo in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you first need to get your hands on one. Tynamo is found in Wild Zone 11 during both day and night. More specifically, you'll find them in the water in this Wild Zone, just past all the Carvanha and Alpha Sharpedo.

Evolving Tynamo into Eelektrik

Once you have a Tynamo, they will evolve into Eelektrik at Level 39.

If you're looking to level them up as quickly as possible, you should use them when battling and use any Rare Candy or EXP Candy you have on them. You can quickly get EXP Candy in exchange for Mega Shards at Quasartico Inc. if you're running low.

Evolving Eelektrik into Eelektross

Once you finally have evolved your Tynamo into an Eelektrik, they will evolve into Eelektross when given a Thunder Stone. This means finding a Thunder Stone in your Satchel and selecting 'Give to Pokémon', and then giving it to Eelektrik.
