If you're looking to add Pikachu to your party pretty quickly in Pokémon Legends Z-A, this guide will help you out with all the steps.
While you can find plenty of Pokémon when you start exploring the map, it takes a bit more time to reach Pikachu. This is mainly due to Pikachu being part of the A Use for an Evolution Stone quest. This guide will help you complete the side quest and add the Electric Pokémon to your roster.
How to complete "A Use for an Evolution Stone!" side quest in Legends Z-A
Starting the "A Use for an Evolution Stone" side quest is relatively simple. First, keep clearing the main content of Legends Z-A till you unlock side quests. Finding Pikachu is actually the final step of the quest. All the prior tasks should be self-explanatory.

So how do we find Pikachu? Once you reach the final step, you'll have to travel to the marked location that says "Travel Here" on the screenshot above. The marked location on Wild Zone 3 is typically where Pikachu spawns, and you can capture one by being a bit patient. The area is towards the north of the center.

Once you have captured Pikachu, return to the NPC who gave you the quest (her location will be marked on the map). Give her your catch, and you'll get a Heracross for your efforts. This will also complete the "A Use for an Evolution Stone" mission, which rewards you with the following items:
- 800 coins
- 5 Poke Balls
- 3 Potions

It's a neat payout for what's essentially a straightforward side quest. Additionally, you can always go back to the location to find a Pikachu for your own party, while keeping all the goodies that you just earned.
