If you’re exploring Illuminate City In Pokemon Legends ZA, Hawlucha should definitely be on your radar. This Fighting/Flying-type isn’t just a solid team member—it’s one of the exclusive Pokemon that received a brand-new Mega Evolution in this game. That alone makes it a must-catch for competitive players and collectors alike.
Unlike most Pokemon in the game, Hawlucha doesn’t spawn in the standard Wild Zones, and you can’t get it through evolution either. This makes tracking it down a bit trickier if you don’t know where to look. But don’t worry—once you know the route, snagging one is actually pretty straightforward.

Before you can reach Hawlucha’s hangout spot, you’ll need to help out a construction worker who’s enjoying a very extended break. Head over to the area west of Wild Zone 3 and look for Side Mission 004: Break Time Battle.

The worker has three Pokemon:
None of these should pose much of a challenge if you’ve been catching strong early-game Pokemon. After you win, he’ll finally fix the holovator (yes, really), giving you access to the rooftops above.
Once the holovator is operational, ride it up and start exploring the rooftops. You’ll eventually spot a rolled-up Ariados web stretched between two buildings—it looks like a bridge, but it’s currently closed.
Profi-Tipp: Hit the web with any ranged attack (a Pokeball works fine) to unfurl it. Walk across, then take the wooden plank to your right. This leads directly to Restaurant Le Yeah’s rooftop, where Hawlucha spawns consistently.

Hawlucha appears during both day and night cycles, so time of day isn’t a dealbreaker. If it’s not there when you arrive, just use one of the nearby benches to change the time and check again.
Hawlucha can be a bit jumpy, so the cleanest way to catch it is with a back strike. Crouch, sneak up behind it, and throw your Pokeball when you’re close enough for a guaranteed advantage.
Wichtig: Save your game manually before attempting the catch. Pokemon Legends Z-A only autosaves when you successfully catch or knock out a Pokemon, so if things go south, you can reset and try again without losing progress.
If stealth isn’t your style (or if Hawlucha spots you first), you can always knock it out in battle and attempt a catch before it flees. Hawlucha has several weaknesses you can exploit:
Choose Pokemon with these move types for maximum effectiveness. Just remember: if you knock it out and it escapes, you’ll need to wait around 5 real-world minutes for it to respawn. Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying if you’re in a hurry.

Here’s where things get exciting. Mega Hawlucha is one of 26 new Mega Evolutions introduced in Z-A, and honestly, it’s a game-changer for this Pokemon. The stat boosts and typing changes make it a legitimate threat in battles.
Unfortunately, you can’t Mega Evolve Hawlucha right after catching it. You’ll need to progress through the main story until you complete Main Mission 17. Once that’s done, you’ll receive the Hawluchanite, the Mega Stone specific to Hawlucha.
For players new to Mega Evolution mechanics, we’ve put together a comprehensive Mega Evolution-Rangliste that ranks all 26 new forms, including where Mega Hawlucha lands.
Beyond the cool factor of its new Mega form, Hawlucha brings solid utility to your roster:
If you’re building a balanced team, Hawlucha pairs particularly well with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses. Consider teaming it with Evoli-Entwicklungen like Jolteon or Espeon for type coverage.

Make sure you’re using appropriate Pokeballs for the situation. If you’re struggling with regular Pokeballs, upgrade to Great Balls or Ultra Balls. And if you really want to guarantee the catch, our Master Ball guide explains when and how to use this rare item.
After catching Hawlucha, focus on increasing its happiness to improve performance in battles. Happy Pokemon deal more damage and have better critical hit ratios.
While you’re up on the rooftops hunting Hawlucha, take some time to explore the surrounding areas. You might stumble upon other rare spawns or hidden items. The rooftop route also connects to other areas of Lumiose City, making it a useful schnelles Reisen shortcut once you’ve unlocked it.
Hawlucha might require a bit of extra legwork compared to Pokemon you can find in standard Wild Zones, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Between its unique spawn location, powerful moveset, and exclusive Mega Evolution, this Fighting/Flying-type is one of the standout catches in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
The rooftop parkour to reach it is also a nice change of pace from the usual tall-grass encounters. It reminds you that Lumiose City is a vertical playground with secrets tucked into every corner.
So grab your Pokeballs, fix that holovator, and claim your very own Hawlucha. Trust me—once you see Mega Hawlucha in action, you’ll understand why this Pokemon is generating so much buzz in the community.
