If you’re looking to add a Dragon-type powerhouse to your team in Pokemon Legends ZA, few choices are as satisfying as the gooey evolution line of Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra. This fan-favorite pseudo-legendary family from the Kalos region offers both charm and challenge, with evolution mechanics that reward patience, timing, and a bit of environmental awareness. Here’s a complete breakdown on how to find, evolve, and train these beloved dragons.
How to find Goomy in Pokemon Legends ZA

Your journey begins with tracking down Goomy, the adorable Dragon-type Pokémon that resembles a living water droplet. Though it looks harmless, finding it isn’t always simple - it prefers damp, hidden areas around Lumiose City.
• Lumiose Sewers: The best place to find Goomy is deep within the Lumiose Sewers. Once you’ve unlocked access through story progression, head toward the dead end of the main corridor, then turn right. You’ll notice a frozen bridge blocking your path - use Fire-type moves to melt the ice and reveal Goomy’s spawn area. Typically, only one Goomy appears here at a time, making it a rare encounter worth hunting.
• Saison Canal (Jaune District): Goomy also appears near bridges along the Saison Canal - but only during rainy weather. If the skies aren’t cooperating, try resting at nearby benches to change the time and reset weather conditions until rain appears.
Pro tip: If Goomy disappears before you can catch it, move slightly away and return to reset its spawn. This method is especially useful for shiny hunting, as Goomy has a fixed spawn point ideal for repetitive encounters.How to Evolve Goomy into Sliggoo in Pokemon Legends ZA

Once Goomy joins your team, it’s time to level it up into Sliggoo, its first evolution. Unlike most Pokémon, this slimy creature’s evolution is weather-dependent.
• Goomy evolves into Sliggoo once it reaches level 40.
• Alternatively, you can find wild Sliggoo during rain, particularly near water bodies - most notably north of Vert Sector 4.
• Rain plays a crucial role here, not only influencing where Sliggoo appears but also setting the stage for its next evolution.
Since rain isn’t always present, you might have to rest repeatedly to fast-forward time and encourage weather changes. While it takes patience, the payoff is worth it once your Goomy becomes the lovable Sliggoo.
How to Evolve Sliggoo into Goodra in Pokemon Legends ZA
Now comes the final evolution - transforming Sliggoo into Goodra, one of the Kalos region’s most powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.
• To evolve, Sliggoo must be at least level 50.
• The evolution only triggers during rainy weather in the overworld.
• Once both conditions are met, you’ll see the evolution icon appear - confirm it to witness Sliggoo’s metamorphosis into Goodra.
If you’d rather skip the grind, there’s another option: a wild Alpha Goodra can be found in Wild Zone 20, available only in post-game. This Alpha is high-leveled (around 64–65) and extremely powerful, making it a great challenge for seasoned players. To defeat or capture it, bring Mega Pokémon and moves that exploit its weaknesses - Ice and Fairy-type attacks are especially effective.
