FalinksFalinks Location
- Time: Day/Night
Multiple Falinks are found in the circular, shallow pool that surrounds the inner garden. The area is teeming with them.
Mega Falinks is one of the new Mega Evolutions introduced in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Falinksite can be purchased for 240 Mega Shards at the Quasartico Mega Shard Exchange after completing Main Mission 20.
Flaaffy Location
- Time: Day/Night
Flaaffy roam the dense bushes at the edges of Wild Zone 16. They are sometimes hard to spot as the bushes can hide them. Press ZL to find them easily when you're nearby.
Medicham Location
- Time: Day
Two Medicham appear next to the fountain on the northeast side of Wild Zone 16 during the day, standing in the shallow water. This spawn location is shared between Medicham and Florges, which means sometimes you'll find Medicham here, but other times, Florges.
Florges Location
- Time: Day
Florges spawn next to the main water fountain in Wild Zone 16 during the day. If you see Medicham here instead, fast travel to the Wild Zone again to reset the area. Repeat as many times as needed to get the Pokemon you're looking for.
Barbaracle Location
- Time: Night
Barbaracle also spawn near the fountain in Wild Zone 16, but they only appear at night. Like Medicham and Florges, this spawn location is also shared, this time between Barbaracle and Starmie.
Starmie Location
- Time: Night
Starmie can be found next to the water fountain on the northeast part of Wild Zone 16 at night, in the shallow water near the hedge maze. Starmie is a rare spawn, however, and you may need to reset the area multiple times via fast travel before you're able to find one.
Froakie Location
- Time: Day/Night
Froakie can be found at the top of the stone plinth in the middle of the garden maze in the direct center of Wild Zone 16. It is a skittish Pokemon, which means it will immediately run away if it spots you. If it does run away, it will not respawn until five minutes later. Keep a Quick Ball ready when you approach.
Alpha Ampharos Location
- Time: Day/Night
A level 53 Alpha Ampharos spawns on the outer edges of Wild Zone 16, near the Flaaffy.
