Discover the elusive Drampa in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! Learn the two specific locations where you can find and catch this rare Pokémon, plus tips for mega evolution.
Alright, so you're looking to snag a Drampa in Pokémon Legends: Z-A? It's a bit of a hunt, not gonna lie, as they're not super common. But don't worry, I've got the two spots you'll want to focus on.
First up is Wild Zone 19. You can find a Drampa chilling on the pagoda once you unlock this zone. Just a heads-up, it won't show up if the Alpha Furfrou is around, and Furfrou is always an Alpha and only appears during the day. So, your best bet is to rest until night and give it a shot. Keep in mind that Alpha Clefairy likes to hang out near the pagoda at night too, so be aware of that while you're trying to catch Drampa. If you need a place to rest and reset, there's a bench to the east of Wild Zone 19, near a grass patch.
Next, we've got Wild Zone 20. Honestly, this one's a bit of a wild card. Some sources say it can spawn in Wild Zone 12, but with so many other Pokémon also appearing in Wild Zone 20, your chances of finding a Drampa here are pretty slim. You'll likely need to do a lot of resting at the bench or engage in a bunch of battles to force new spawns. The closest bench for this area is conveniently located outside the Centrico Pokémon Center.
These are the only known spots for Drampa right now, so good luck with the grind if you're set on getting one!
Drampa's Mega Evolution
If you do manage to catch a Drampa, you'll be happy to know it can Mega Evolve! To do this, you'll need the Drampanite Mega Stone, which you can unlock from Quasartico Inc. It's actually one of the earlier vendor options, only requiring you to complete Main Mission 10. The catch? It'll cost you 360 Mega Shards, which is quite a bit. Thankfully, there are some solid Mega Shard farming methods that can help speed up that process.
Once you have the stone, Mega Evolving Drampa gives it a significant stat boost. Here's a quick look at the stats:
| Name | HP | ATK | DEF | SpAtk | SpDef | Speed |
| Drampa | 78 | 60 | 85 | 135 | 91 | 36 |
| Mega Drampa | 78 | 85 | 110 | 160 | 116 | 36 |
Mega Drampa keeps its HP and Speed the same, making it a slow but balanced Pokémon. However, all its other stats get a nice boost of +25. This transforms Drampa into a pretty decent defensive unit, both in its normal and Mega form. It really shines with its Special Attack, rivaling even Pokémon like Gardevoir, who is known for its high Special Attack. It even boasts a higher Special Attack than Mega Dragonite! However, it is slower and less durable than Dragonite, which seems to be how it's balanced against other catchable Dragon-type Pokémon. If you're looking for a Pokémon with a more varied stat spread, you might consider catching a Dratini and powering it up instead.
