Goomy shows up early in Pokémon Legends Z‑A, but it isn’t on the usual outdoor loop. Your two realistic options are a consistent encounter inside the Lumiose Sewers and a rarer, weather-locked appearance in Vert Sector 9 when it’s raining. Here’s how to reach both quickly, plus what you need to evolve it.

Goomy location in Pokémon Legends Z‑A

Area Condition Where to look Notes
Lumiose Sewers None (mid-story onward) Past a melted ice bridge (directions below) Reliable, standard spawn; typically one Goomy in the spot
Vert Sector 9 Raining On the bridge; can also appear on the roof Rare early-game spawn; often higher level than nearby Pokémon
Saison Canal (Alpha) Raining Can appear by the canal Alpha spawn; weather-dependent

How to reach the Lumiose Sewers Goomy spawn

You enter the Lumiose Sewers as part of the main story. After finishing the related objectives, you can return at any time and in the post‑game.

  • Head into the Lumiose Sewers and proceed straight until you hit a wall.
  • Take the path on the right.
  • You’ll reach a small gap blocked by an ice obstacle.
  • Use any Fire‑type move on the ice to melt it; it forms a bridge across the gap.
  • Cross the new bridge — the standard Goomy spawn is on the other side.

Expect a single Goomy in this spot. If it isn’t present, return later; this is the most consistent way to add Goomy to your team without waiting on the weather.

Tip: Bring at least one Fire‑type user specifically to melt the ice; you won’t clear the gap without it.

Get Goomy early at Vert Sector 9 (rain‑only)

If you’re set on catching Goomy before the sewers, you can try during rain in Vert Sector 9. Check the bridge first; it can also pop on the nearby roof. This encounter is a rare spawn tied to weather and tends to be higher level than the surrounding area, so plan accordingly with status moves or strong Poké Balls.

Note: Because this spawn depends on rain, it’s not guaranteed on any given visit. The sewers route above is the more predictable method.

Alpha Goomy location and conditions

An Alpha Goomy can appear by the Saison Canal when it’s raining. As with other Alpha encounters, expect a tougher battle and bring coverage for Dragon‑type resistances and status control.

Goomy evolution requirements

Evolution Requirement
Goomy → Sliggoo Level 40
Sliggoo → Goodra Level 50 while it’s raining

Hisuian Sliggoo and Hisuian Goodra are present in the game. At launch, obtaining Hisuian Sliggoo beyond transfer is not yet defined; plan on the standard line unless you’re moving one in when connectivity allows.

If you want the earliest possible Goomy, watch for rain in Vert Sector 9. If you want certainty, take the sewers route and melt the ice bridge. Either way, aim for level 40 to reach Sliggoo and level 50 during rain to secure Goodra.
