Stuck in the Lumiose Sewers? Find TM13 Ice Beam Fast in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

You’ll need TM13 Ice Beam to progress the main story in Pokémon Legends: Z-A — specifically to freeze a fountain that’s blocking the sewers beneath Lumiose City during the mission “Reaching Rank D.” This short guide tells you exactly where to go and what to do, so you can get back to tracking down Gwynn without extra wandering.

Ice Beam location in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Head to **Wild Zone 12**. There, look for the *Pokémon battle court* on the northern side of the zone. The court’s entrances are blocked by rocks, so you’ll need a Pokémon that knows a fighting-type move to clear them. Once you break through, you’ll have to defeat a few wild fighters — notably *Machop* and *Machoke* — to claim the yellow TM ball that contains **TM13 Ice Beam**.

How to get and use Ice Beam

First, teach **TM13 Ice Beam** to a compatible Pokémon. Many ice-type Pokémon learn Ice Beam naturally around levels *35–40*, but using the TM is faster and works on any eligible Pokémon immediately. For example, if you started with Totodile, teaching Ice Beam to **Feraligatr** is a solid choice.

Then, return to Lumiose City during mission 19, “Reaching Rank D.” Your team needs Ice Beam to freeze the fountain that’s pouring water into the sewers. Freezing the water clears the path downward. Note that other strong ice moves like *Freeze Dry* or *Blizzard* can also work, while weaker moves such as *Icy Wind* may not.

Quick tips:
– Bring a lead Pokémon that resists ice-type encounters in Wild Zone 12; a **fire, rock, steel, or fighting** lead helps avoid fights with ice wilds.
– Make sure you have a fighting-type move in your party to clear the rock-blocked entrances.
– If you prefer to skip the court battles, you can still find Ice-type Pokémon and level them up to learn Ice Beam naturally, but that takes longer.

That’s it — grab TM13 in Wild Zone 12, teach it to a capable team member, and head back to freeze the fountain so you can explore the sewers and continue the story.
