Dream Eater remains a versatile attack in Pokémon Legends Z-A, enabling the user to strike a target and restore HP equal to a portion of the damage dealt. This guide consolidates where the move can be learned and how to obtain the Dream Eater TM, with a focus on practical in-game steps.
Pokémon that learn Dream Eater fall into two groups: those that learn it by levelling and those that learn it through TM. Pokémon that learn it by levelling include Mr. Mime at Level 15, Mime Jr. at Level 15, Darkrai at Level 84, Munna at Level 28, Musharna at Level 28, and Mr. Rime at Level 15. Pokémon that learn it via TM cover a wide range: Clefairy, Clefable, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Slowpoke, Slowbro, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Starmie, Mime Jr., Mewtwo, Espeon, Umbreon, Slowking, Houndoom, Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, Gulpin, Swalot, Spoink, Grumpig, Swablu, Altaria, Shuppet, Banette, Latias, Latios, Mime Jr., Gallade, Rotom, Darkrai, Munna, Musharna, Yamask, Cofagrigus, Meloetta, Delphox, Aromatisse, Slurpuff, Trevenant, Yveltal, Hoopa, Mr. Rime, Runerigus, Indeedee, Greavard.
To obtain the Dream Eater TM, you’ll need to complete Side Mission 168 - Reve de Musharna, which starts in Rogue Sector 5 near Looker Bureau. Since this Side Mission is part of the Mega Dimension DLC, you’ll need to own the DLC to access both the mission and the eventual TM reward. The mission guide involves using Hypnosis on Flamigo, followed up by using Dream Eater on them. Once the mission is completed, you’ll receive the TM and be able to teach the move to applicable Pokémon.
With the TM obtained, applicable Pokémon can learn Dream Eater and add it to their moveset. The move description notes that it damages the target and restores a portion of the damage dealt to the user, making it a flexible option in various battle scenarios. Given the breadth of TM learnables, players should review their current team composition to identify strong candidates among the listed Pokémon.
