When playing a game, you’ll want to have all the powerful resources there are.

With this guide, you’ll discover where to find Pokémon Legends ZA Bagon and how to evolve it.
Where to Catch Pokémon Legends ZA Bagon
To get one of the most powerful Pokémon to your team, you must locate it first. Bagon appears in Wild Zone 18 in the Lumiose-area map, and to unlock the zone, your level must have progressed far enough. Specifically, after Main Mission 30 or Rank B.
Essentially, the Pokémon already present in the zone will be around level 44-45 (or higher) when you first encounter them. If you see an Alpha Salamence roaming near the Bagon spawns, defeat or catch it first, as its presence can block normal Bagon spawns. To effectively catch him, use Ultra Balls, status effects (Sleep, Paralysis) to weaken the target to 1 HP, and improve chances.
The Evolution Line of Bagon
There are different stages of evolving Bagon into Salamence. It’s easy and straightforward, but it requires investment. For reference, here’s the evolution table:

How to Evolve Pokémon Legends ZA Bagon: Step by Step
To use Bagon effectively and progress your level, here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how you can evolve Bagon to Salamence or to Mega Evolution.
Step 1: Catch Bagon
-
- The first step is to visit Wild Zone 18 once it’s unlocked and catch Bagon. A pro tip is to bring a strong team with you and strategize for you to catch Bagon effectively.
Step 2: Level Bagon to 30
-
- Train your Bagon using battles, EXP items, and by completing side-quests. Once it reaches level 30, it will evolve into Shelgon.
Step 3: Level to 50 for Salamence
-
- Continue training Shelgon until it hits level 50. At level 50, Bagon evolves into Salamence. There is a possibility that you may encounter Salamence directly as a wild Alpha in the zone, but evolving your own gives full control.
Step 4: Mega Evolution
-
- This step is completely optional, so you don’t have to do this step. However, if Pokémon Legends ZA supports Mega Evolution for Salamence, you can then obtain the Salamencite or equivalent item and Mega-evolve it.

Bagon is a great pick for the late game, especially if you want to progress your game, since it has high stats and Salamence. So, as long as you follow the guide, there will be no mistakes and you’ll have Bagon in your collection in no time.
