Tracking down Shroodle in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s DLC can be surprisingly difficult for such a small Pokémon. After unlocking Hyperspace Lumiose following the main story, the game opens up to a rotating series of Wild Zones. That’s exactly where Shroodle is hiding.
The problem is that the correct portal isn’t always accessible, and the game doesn’t give clear instructions on how to find it. If you want to add Shroodle to your team and evolve it without wandering through dimension after dimension all night, this guide will help you quickly find the right portal, track down Shroodle, and evolve it into Grafaiai.
### How to Find and Catch Shroodle
Finding Shroodle requires going into Hyperspace Lumiose, the post-game Wild Zone system unlocked after finishing the story and gaining access to the portals. Each portal leads to a different pocket dimension filled with Pokémon of a specific type. Spotting the right one is key to finding Shroodle.
Look for a Poison-type portal, which will be marked with a small grey circle icon topped by a tiny grey ball. Pods labeled with the Poison type will appear with this icon. Since Shroodle is in the Poison dimension, that’s where it will spawn.
Portals change every day-night cycle, so this particular dimension may not always be available. If you don’t see the Poison portal, you can reset the available zones by resting on a park bench. This advances the in-game time, refreshes the zones, and gives you another chance to find the Poison zone.
When the Poison portal does appear, enter quickly with a Pokémon that knows how to travel through portals, and move swiftly—these zones tend to be brief, with not much time to explore.
Inside, expect tough battles. All Pokémon in these zones are Hyper Strong, meaning they deal more damage and tend to last longer. Prepare a solid team, and bring high-quality Poké Balls to safely weaken and catch Shroodle. Despite its small size, its boosted stats in this environment mean it can still put up quite a fight.
### How to Evolve Shroodle into Grafaiai
Evolving Shroodle into Grafaiai is straightforward once you have it. Shroodle evolves at level 28, so you can level it up through battles or use candies to speed up the process.
When it reaches level 28, open your menu, select its icon, and tap the ‘Evolve’ button. After confirming, Shroodle will instantly evolve into Grafaiai, ready for your next adventure in Hyperspace Lumiose.
