How to Get and Evolve Pancham in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Pancham can be caught very early on in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, in one of the very first Wild Zones that are available in Lumiose City. It evolves into Pangoro, one of the strongest Physical attackers in the entire game.

However, players looking to evolve Pancham into Pangoro may find themselves confused, as this is a special evolution that requires certain conditions to be met before it can be triggered. This guide covers Pancham's exact location in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, how to catch it, as well as how to evolve it into Pangoro.

How to Get Pancham in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Pancham Location

Pancham can be found in the southwest section of Wild Zone 3, in the same area as the Skiddo. However, Pancham is not a guaranteed spawn, which means trainers may need to reset the zone a few times before it makes an appearance.

The easiest way to get Pancham to spawn is to pass time by resting at the bench facing the section of Wild Zone 3 where Pancham can spawn (pictured above).

Every time it switches from day to night or vice versa, all Pokemon in the area will reset, and if a Pancham appears, you'll immediately be able to tell by looking straight ahead. If it doesn't spawn in, simply rest at the bench again and again until it does.

Wild Zone 3 is unlocked from the beginning of the game and can be accessed as soon as players gain the ability to free roam in Lumiose City.

Pancham Evolution Level

Pancham evolves into Pangoro at level 32, but only when there is another Dark-type Pokemon in the main party.

To evolve Pancham, here's what you need to do:

Increase Pancham's level to 32 or above by gaining experience through battles or by feeding it EXP. Candies or Rare Candies.
Place any Dark-type Pokemon in the main party alongside Pancham.
Select Pancham and choose "Evolve," and it will immediately turn into Pangoro.

How to Get Dark-type Pokemon for Pancham's Evolution

Here are some early-game Dark-type Pokemon you can use to help Pancham complete its evolution in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Sableye : A level 10 Sableye can be caught during Side Mission 003: Sableye in the Cemetery, which can be triggered just outside Wild Zone 4.
Houndour : Wild Zone 6 is teeming with Houndour, which are Dark/Fire-type Pokemon.
Absol: Complete Main Mission 9 and an Absol will automatically join your party.
Umbreon : Eevee can be caught in Bleu Sector 5, on the rooftops behind the Nouveau Cafe Truck No. 2. It evolves into Umbreon with max Friendship at night.
