The <b>Zekrom and Reshiram quest</b> is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] quest that features a <b>co-op Dungeon quest</b>. <br>
This quest allows the player to complete their [[Legendary_Pokemon#Trios|Tao Trio]] collection, whereas only [[Kyurem]] was obtainable until the 2021 Christmas event. <br>

It was first released during the <b>2021 Christmas event</b>, but was not introduced before Q1 of 2022. <br>
After being exclusive to the Christmas event, the quest was later relocated to [[Eindoak Town]] to be accessible throughout the year.

==Starting the quest==
===Mannes===
[[File:Mannes.png|left]]
To begin the quest, travel to [[Eindoak Town]], which can be accessed from [[Eumi Island]] by speaking to Sailor Drew. <br>
You can reach Eumi Island from [[Lilycove City]] by talking to Sailor Jacob. <br>
Once in Eindoak Town, speak with Mannes. Mannes is in the middle of the town square and he will instruct you to find Damon.
<br clear="all">

===Damon===
[[File:Damon.png|left]]
Damon can be found in the [[Enyor Island Forest]]. To get there, head northeast through the [[Eindoak Waterway]] from Eindoak Town. <br>
After speaking with Damon, he will return to Eindoak Town. Follow him back and speak to Mannes once again. <br><br>

==Obtaining the Dark Stone ==
===Battle Tournament===
Once we've found <b>Damon</b>, we can finally start the <b>Battle Tournament</b>. <br>
This part can take a few attempts to complete, depending on how you do in the 5 battles and how many points you earn/lose.

===How to start the Tournament===
Go to the Pokécenter and find the one Pokémon you want to register. <br>
<b>Notice:</b> You're only allowed to have the one Pokémon you want to register in your party while registering and battling. <br>
Talk with <b>Mannes</b> when you're ready to register your Pokémon.

===How does the Tournament work===
You'll have to fight 5 different trainers and they are all scattered throughout the islands. <br>
I suggest using a Pokémon with great coverage.
====Trainer Locations====
* Luis – [[Eindoak Waterway]]
* Glacine – [[Eindoak Waterway]]
* Leeku – [[Galeras Island East]]
* Ravine – [[Galeras Island East]]
* Luisa – [[Galeras Island East]]
* Mannes Jr. – [[Galeras Island West]]
* Juanita – [[Galeras Island West]]
* Tatsuki – [[Galeras Island West]]
* Carlita – [[Enyor Island Forest]]
* Damon – [[Enyor Island Forest]] 

====Point system====
While battling, they will prompt you with a question. <br>
If you have enough points they will provide an x2 multiplier, they'll start with x1. <br>
<b>Damon</b> will have up to an x4 multiplier. <br>
In most cases, winning all the matches should give you an easy win if you go all-in on each trainer and win.
<b>If you fail, just try again or register a different Pokémon this time.</b>

====Reward====
Once you defeat Damon in the tournament, he will congratulate you on your victory.
Return to Mannes in Eindoak Town to receive the Dark Stone. With the Dark Stone in your possession, you will now be able to access the [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. <br>
[[File:Dark_Stone.png]]

==Dragonspiral Tower==
{{Main|Dragonspiral Tower}}
Once you've obtained the Dark Stone the police officer blocking the door will allow you access to the [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. <br>
Head east to the [[Dragonspiral Tower Exterior]] and speak with the Guard to gain entry into the Tower.
This is where the quest jumps from <b>Medium</b> to <b>Hard</b> difficulty.
<b>Notice:</b> Healing items and other important battle support items (i.e Elixir, Berries, etc) are temporarily disabled while in the tower. <br>

<b>Useful tip:</b>
Bring a lot of [[Repel|Repels]] before starting your journey to the top. It will come in handy while on floor 4F and for avoiding wild spawns.
<br clear="all">
<b>Caution:</b> All the Pokémon roaming around on all floors will battle you if you're within their line of sight! <br>
They will also battle in a pack, being either 2 or 3 or on some rare occasions only 1 Pokémon, ranging from level 93 to 99.

===Dragonspiral Tower 1F===
This floor has nothing but wild spawns.

===Dragonspiral Tower 2F===
<i>This room is the first in a series of rooms you'll need to find crystals to weaken the barrier to move forward.</i> <br>
You can find the first crystal to the left of the only staircase in the room ([https://prnt.sc/26jntad location]).

===Dragonspiral Tower 3F===
<i>This is the only floor featuring platforms you can jump between</i>. <br>
There are in total 3 crystals on this floor, one at the left bottom, one in the middle, and one on the top right corner. <br>
All crystals have to be activated to move forward.

===Dragonspiral Tower 4F===
<b>Caution:</b>Failing to follow the Pansage, if the player is too slow and hits the swarm or steps on an unstable tile. They will be automatically returned to the entrance of the floor.<i></i> <br>

The floor is unstable and you can find a [[Pansage]] that you'll need to interact with. <br>
It will start to run, while a swarm of Golbats is chasing you. <br>
Every time it detects an unstable tile, it will use the exclamation emote and also make a sound cue. <br>
Avoid stepping on anything that [[Pansage]] isn't stepping on, as it might be unstable. Tiles next to idle [[Pansage]] are unstable. <br>

<b>Useful tip:</b> Wild Pokémon will spawn and it might disrupt your run. This is where the [[Repel|Repels]] will come in handy.

===Dragonspiral Tower 5F===
<i>This is the first floor with a maze with electric beams moving in a set pattern</i>
<b>Caution:</b> Touching the moving Electric beams will send you back to the entrance. Some of them might also be bugged if moving too fast and clip through them. <br>
This room has 3 crystals, whereas two of them are fake and will prompt a battle instead, so be prepared! They are all randomly placed for each player and they are totally randomized for being real or fake.

===Dragonspiral Tower 6F===
<i>This is the final challenge floor and features a switch maze where the player has to activate the right switches in order to progress.</i>
<b>Useful tip:</b> At the start of the floor, you can avoid all the Pokémon by going behind them.

====Switches Tutorial====
<spoiler hide="Show Tutorial" show="Show Tutorial">
1. First thing we need to do is hit the red switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jonaz location]) before going into the maze. <br>
2. Then go down and into the maze archway and then go to the rock on the right side ([https://prnt.sc/26joo3l location]), then activate both the red switch and blue switch. <br>
3. Then go down and to the left of the roaming Crobat and down again. Activate the red switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jopni location]). <br>
4. Then go up and enter the archway you unlocked above and activate the blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/26joqk0 location]). <br>
5. Go back to the previous red switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jopni location]) and activate it again. <br>
6. Then go to the right and down from the roaming Crobat, activate the blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jot7m location]). <br>
7. After doing that, go further down ([https://prnt.sc/26jntad location]). <br>
8. Activate the blue switch and then the red switch and then the blue switch again to get out. <br>
9. Go up and activate the blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jovd4 location]) that we already activated earlier. <br>
10. Go into the area you unlocked to the right and activate the next blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jowbf location]). <br>
11. Then go up and activate the red switch ([https://prnt.sc/26jox93 location]), this will unlock the archway on the right side. <br>
12. Then once again go back to the same blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/https://prnt.sc/26jowbf location]) and activate it again. <br>
13. Go down through the archway on the right, activate the red switch ([https://prnt.sc/26joyng location]) at the bottom. <br>
14. This will give you access to the blue switch ([https://prnt.sc/26joz5x location]) which unlocks the last electric beam and the final room. <br>
</spoiler>

===Dragonspiral Tower 7F===
<i>This is the top floor where you'll be prompted into battling with <b>Damon</b> and then immediately [[Zekrom]] once you step in the shiny circle</i>
====Battling Damon====
Damon always starts with [[Gothitelle]] and all of his Pokémon share the [[Dark (type)|Dark]] and [[Ghost (type)|Ghost]]-type weakness. <br>
Once Damon is defeated, Zekrom will battle the player without allowing them to rearrange their party.
{{BossNPCLineup|Boss=Damon|Lineup=
{{BossPokemon|Name=Gothitelle|Nature=|Ability=|Item=Leftovers|}}
{{BossPokemon|Name=Reuniclus|Nature=|Ability=|Item=Life Orb|}}
{{BossPokemon|Name=Sigilyph|Nature=|Ability=|Item=Life Orb|}}
}}

====Battling Zekrom====
Zekrom is a pretty bulky Pokémon and a successful strategy used against bulky Pokémon is using the old [[Toxic]]-stall method. <br>
It is not the fastest Pokémon, but if you're worried that it might outspeed your setup Pokémon, bring a [[Klefki]] with [[Prankster]] ability and [[Toxic]].
{{BossNPCLineup|Boss=NPC|Lineup=

==Capturing Zekrom and Reshiram==
After battling Damon and Zekrom, you need to interact with the shiny circle again. <br>
<b>This will prompt a message to either leave or stay.</b>

===Reshiram===
To be able to capture [[Reshiram]] you'll need to have obtained the <b>Light Stone</b>, which is a reward for doing the [[Polar_City_North_Gate#Dungeon|Dungeon]] quest. <br>
Do note that this is an RNG reward and is not a guaranteed reward for completing a Dungeon run. It might take a few runs before you acquire it. <br>
Once you've obtained this, all you need is to go back to the tower and it will spawn once you interact with the shiny circle again.
<br clear="all">

===Stay or leave===
You can choose to stay and then battle and capture [[Zekrom]] and/or [[Reshiram]]. <br>
But they won't spawn unless you've interacted with the circle after battling with Damon and Zekrom. <br>
[[Reshiram]] won't spawn unless a Light Stone is present.

===Syncing the Pokémon ===
If you want to bring a Sync, then choose to leave. <br>
When you leave the tower, you will have to go through floors 1F through 6F again to reach 7F. <br>
The only difference now is that you have your items, the roaming Pokémon are now gone and only 4F, 5F and 6F are the only ones you need to redo. <br>
And by redo, I mean to follow the [[Pansage]] and activate the hidden switch on 4F, go through the maze with Electric beams moving in a set pattern on 5F, and do the maze with all the switches again on 6F.

In case of ending the battle without a catch, a disconnect or deleting the legendary Pokémon after it was caught, it will re-spawn on the same location, with the same IVs, ability and nature waiting to be caught.
