How to Get Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo in Pokemon Legends Z-A (Side Mission 98)

by

Side Mission 098 in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, called “Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo,” tasks you with catching a very large Pumpkaboo. The person who gives you the mission says you can find it in Wild Zone 15 at night, but many players have trouble locating one. This guide will help you successfully catch a Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Although Alpha Pumpkaboo are typically classified as Extra Large, the customer specifically doesn’t want Alpha Pokemon. The term “Jumbo” in this case doesn’t refer to size at all – you can actually find a Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo that’s Medium or Large.

Hang Out Until Nightfall

Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo only appears at night, but you can quickly advance to nighttime in Pokemon Legends: Z-A by using the game’s time-passing feature. Simply sit on a bench and choose to wait until night. There are two benches conveniently located near the southwest entrance to Wild Zone 15, making it a perfect spot to wait while completing this task.

Check Pumpkaboo in Wild Zone 15

When night falls, head to the southeastern entrance of Wild Zone 15 and enter the zone. Slowly walk towards the northwestern entrance, listening carefully to the Pumpkaboos you encounter. These Pokémon make two distinct sounds, and paying attention to those sounds is how you can identify the rare Jumbo Variety.

Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboos are quieter than regular Pumpkaboos. The video shows how different their sounds are, and it offers advice for players of Pokemon Legends: Z-A on how to catch the Pokemon they’re looking for.

  1. As you walk through Wild Zone 15, listen to the sound each Pumpkaboo makes before attacking.
  2. If a Pumpkaboo makes the standard sound, catch it or defeat it.
  3. If a Pumpkaboo makes the lower sound, indicating that it is Jumbo Variety, catch it.
  4. If you get rid of all the Pumpkaboos in Wild Zone 15 without finding a Jumbo Variety, wait for them to respawn. This should take approximately four minutes.
  5. Repeat the previous steps until you find a Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo.

You might not find a large, rare Pumpkaboo on your first visit to Wild Zone 15 and may need to wait on a bench for a while. It also helps to defeat the Alpha Pokémon in the center of the zone, as that makes it easier to hear where the Pumpkaboos are.
