Exploring Lumiose City in Pokemon Legends ZA brings many exciting discoveries, including the fan-favorite Dragon-type line starting with Goomy. While this squishy creature might look small and vulnerable initially, raising it into its ultimate form is a highly rewarding endeavor for trainers looking for a powerhouse companion. Securing its evolutions requires a mix of steady leveling and keeping a sharp eye out for specific environmental conditions.
Reaching the First Evolution into Sliggoo
To begin the journey, your main focus will be accumulating experience points to level up Goomy through battles or exploration. The creature will automatically transform into Sliggoo once it hits level 40 without needing any items. This milestone is relatively simple to achieve since many wild encounters in the city already appear at high levels.
If you prefer to bypass this initial training phase completely, wild Sliggoo can also be encountered directly in damp overworld areas. They are known to inhabit watery zones, particularly around the northern edges of Vert Sector 4 during wet weather conditions. Catching one directly saves you time but requires waiting for the right climate patterns to manifest.
Navigating the Rainy Requirements for Goodra
Transforming Sliggoo into its final state as Goodra introduces a unique environmental mechanic that tests a trainer's patience. The dragon must first be trained until it reaches at least level 50 to qualify for its ultimate transformation. However, reaching the numerical requirement is only half of the puzzle.
The actual evolution trigger will only become accessible when it is actively raining in the overworld environment. You must wait for natural rainfall to happen or manipulate the schedule by repeatedly resting on local benches to cycle the weather pattern. Once the raindrops start falling and the status conditions are met, the evolution icon will appear inside your party menu.
Alternative Methods for Completing the Pokedex
For players who want to skip the evolutionary grind entirely, the game provides a couple of alternative shortcuts to add these powerful dragons to your roster. A fully evolved, high-level Alpha Goodra can be challenged and captured within Wild Zone 20 during the post-game campaign. This encounter provides a massive challenge for seasoned teams but rewards you instantly with a combat-ready pseudo-legendary.
Additionally, players can utilize external storage connectivity options to bring their favorite monsters into the game seamlessly. Sending a previously caught dragon from past regional adventures into your current file helps you fill out your collection quickly. Whichever method you decide to choose, adding this slimy dragon line to your squad provides incredible defensive utility for the trials ahead.
