Mega Dimension Special Encounters

Find recorded Mega Dimension Special Scan, arena, gift and mission encounters, their requirements, rewards and source-specific shiny availability.

Named sources need their own conditions

This reference groups 20 Mega Dimension encounter sources from Special Scan, Hyperspace arenas, gifts and missions. It does not repeat the regular Wild Zone catalog or claim to cover every acquisition in the game.

Read the source label, requirements and availability together. A shiny or Alpha restriction on one named source is not a species-wide rule. Pokémon profiles link these references with other recorded acquisition routes.

Special Scan: unlock, cost and guarantee

Side Mission 188 after the Mega Dimension story / Rayquaza progression

Each Special Scan costs 25,000 Survey Points. After five scans in a row without a Legendary, the next scan is guaranteed to contain one until all are caught.

The recorded pool has 7 Pokémon. The cards below separate scan sources and retain their individual shiny and Alpha availability; the guarantee concerns encountering a Legendary, not obtaining a shiny.

Gifts, arenas and mission rewards

Named arenas can have fixed level records and rewards. Mission sources can point to a mission number, while gifts may have their own requirements. The catalog below shows those relationships only when recorded.

“No additional requirement recorded” describes the available information; it does not promise that an encounter has no prerequisites. Check the linked Pokémon profile for the broader acquisition context, and compare the acquisition records on the Pokémon profile.
