Pokemon Legends: Z-A focuses on the huge challenge of catching them all, but simply filling your Pokédex by number isn’t enough to earn that title. Many Pokémon have multiple forms, colors, and sizes, and Pumpkaboo is just one example.
Since trainers have known about small, medium, and large Pumpkaboo for years, a new feature in Legends: Z-A is the Jumbo Pumpkaboo. These are not alpha Pokémon, but they are significantly larger than normal. Unlike other Pumpkaboo, the Jumbo version doesn’t have its own classification in the Pokédex. So, even if you find this rare creature, you might wonder if it’s the real deal.
How to Catch a Jumbo Pumpkaboo
To find a Jumbo Pumpkaboo, head into Zone 15. You can search for them during the day or at night, as they spawn throughout the central area of the zone. You’ll be able to see a large Pumpkaboo when compared to its surroundings. The Jumbo variety should be even bigger. During your search, you can try to catch any Pumpkaboo that looks suspiciously large.
Keep these tips in mind:
- Don’t catch every Pumpkaboo. Only catch the ones that appear very large. Catching one will start a respawn timer, which makes it take longer for new Pumpkaboo to appear.
- If you don’t see any big Pumpkaboo, leave the zone and fly back to reset the spawn area.
- If size is hard to judge, catch a Medium or Large Pumpkaboo and release it in Zone 15 to compare sizes with others later.
Verifying the Jumbo Pumpkaboo
When you find a Pumpkaboo that looks very large, check its size tag. Normally, the size categories are visible, but both Large and Jumbo Pumpkaboo display the same “L” tag. Therefore, visual comparison is crucial.
Once you think you have a Jumbo Pumpkaboo (bigger than the others, not an alpha), release it from its Pokéball and stand it next to Taille, a Ghost-type trainer. If it’s noticeably larger than the other Pumpkaboo, you’ve found your Jumbo!
Completing the Mission
Bring your Jumbo Pumpkaboo to Taille, but before talking to her, show her the Pokémon out of its Pokéball. If it’s bigger than the Pumpkaboo in her lineup, you’ve succeeded. She will take the Jumbo from you, so don’t get too attached.
In return, you will receive:
- 6,000 Poké Dollars
- 2 Rare Candies
- 5 Seeds of Mastery
This mission is a fun way to hunt for rare sizes and adds a new layer to your Pokémon collection in Legends: Z-A.
