Pokémon Legends: Z-A features a side quest called “Get Well, Fennekin,” where you are tasked with helping a sick Fennekin by finding a Revitalizing Twig. To get it, you must venture into Wild Zone 5, an area southwest of Lumiose Tower in Lumiose City. The path to the twig is blocked by piles of purple toxic sludge, which can only be removed with a Water-type Pokémon’s Water-type move such as Water Gun. Pokémon like Binacle, which can be caught at level 7 in Wild Zone 2, are ideal if you did not choose Totodile as your starter.
