Steps to complete Reaching Rank C main mission in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Speak to Corbeau to start your promotion quest

After completing the A Request from the Rust Syndicate mission, head over to Corbeau to begin your next assignment. He’ll explain that your promotion depends on earning a Challenger’s Ticket, which can only be obtained by collecting a total of 38,000 ticket points.

Earn 38,000 ticket points for the Challenger’s Ticket

Fighting trainers in Battle Zones at night is the most effective method of farming ticket points. There are many tough opponents in these places who will give you significant points if you win.

Look for Bonus Cards that periodically appear in the area while fighting. When specific battle conditions are satisfied, these cards give you short-term boosts that increase your ticket point gains.

If you want to skip the day cycle and head into nighttime battles faster, simply sit on a bench to pass the time. You can also explore side quests or restock your items while waiting for nightfall.

Keep grinding until you hit the 38,000-point mark and unlock the Challenger’s Ticket.

Challenge Corbeau for your Rank C promotion

Once you’ve obtained the Challenger’s Ticket, fast travel to the Rust Syndicate Office located in the Bleu District. Head inside and speak with Philippe, who will initiate your battle against Corbeau.

Here’s a look at Corbeau’s lineup:

Pokemon	Type	Level	Weakness
Arbok	Poison	50	Ground, Psychic
Gyarados	Water/Flying	51	Rock, Electric (4x)
Roserade	Grass/Poison	51	Fire, Flying, Ice, Psychic
Mega Scolipede	Bug/Poison	52	Flying, Rock, Fire, Psychic

Corbeau’s team is primarily Poison-type, with Gyarados as the only exception. Use Psychic-type Pokemon such as Alakazam or Gardevoir to deal with most of his team. For the final showdown, where Corbeau’s Scolipede Mega Evolves, a strong Fire-type like Camerupt can make quick work of the critter.

Win the battle and claim your promotion

Defeat all of Corbeau’s Pokémon to earn your Rank C promotion. As a reward, you’ll receive the TM for Gunk Shot, a powerful Poison-type move.
