Litwick in Pokémon Legends Z‑A — location, access, evolution, stats
Pokémon Legends: Z‑AWhere to find Litwick in the Lumiose sewers, how to unlock repeat access, and how to evolve it to Chandelure.
Litwick is a Ghost/Fire‑type in Pokémon Legends: Z‑A (Lumiose Pokédex #189) with a sewer‑only habitat and a late evolution payoff into Chandelure. You’ll encounter it in the Lumiose Sewers, but access timing and permanence depend on your story and side‑mission progress. Here’s what to know before you make the trip, when to go back later, and how to evolve it efficiently.
Find Litwick location (Lumiose Sewers)
Litwick spawns in the Lumiose Sewers, specifically in the Bleu Sector 3 area south of Lumiose, between Wild Zone 5 and Wild Zone 12. It appears at night and is a rare spawn.
- Spawn timing: Night only.
- Rarity: Low; if it doesn’t appear, leave the sewers and re‑enter to reset encounters.
- Entrance requirement: Bring a Pokémon with a water‑type move to wash away the purple goop blocking the sewer entrance.
Once inside, check the open spaces of the sector. If you’re targeting multiple Litwick, resetting the zone is faster than waiting for respawns.
Unlock sewer access (story window vs. late‑game reopen)
You’ll first get into the sewers during the story, but whether you can return immediately afterward varies with your progression. Use these windows:
- Story access: Available during Main Mission 19: Reaching Rank D. You’ll also enter the sewers when you’re tasked with finding Gwynn ahead of your promotion match with Ivor.
- Other temporary entries: Some missions send you down briefly (for example, collecting a Revitalizing Twig in a Fennekin task).
- Permanent access (late game): Complete Side Mission 57: The Camerupt Entrepreneur, which begins near Wild Zone 5. Finishing it reopens the sewers for good.
Evolve Litwick to Chandelure (and beyond)
- Litwick → Lampent at level 41.
- Lampent → Chandelure by using a Dusk Stone.
- Chandelure → Mega Chandelure with a Chandelurite; expect to trade a large number of Mega Shards to obtain the stone.
Litwick strengths, weaknesses, and immunities
| Category | Types |
|---|---|
| Weak (2×) | Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, Dark |
| Neutral (1×) | Electric, Flying, Psychic, Dragon |
| Resist (0.5×) | Fire, Grass, Ice, Poison, Steel, Fairy |
| Strong resist (0.25×) | Bug |
| Immune (0×) | Normal, Fighting |
This profile makes Litwick comfortable switching into many common special attackers (Grass, Ice, Fairy, Steel) but vulnerable to Ground and Rock coverage. Plan teammates that can absorb those hits or provide Ground immunities.
Litwick stats (base)
| HP | Attack | Defense | Sp. Atk | Sp. Def | Speed | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 30 | 55 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 275 |
Litwick is slow and frail on the physical side, so prioritize safe captures and level it promptly to reach Lampent and eventually Chandelure for real power.

If you’re hunting Litwick during the Rank D story window, catch one before leaving the sewers. If you missed it, aim for the late‑game side mission to reopen the doors, bring a water‑type move to clear the entrance, and check at night. From there, level to 41, apply a Dusk Stone, and you’ll have Chandelure ready for ZA’s toughest fights.
