This rare Fire/Ghost-type creature only appears briefly in Pokémon Legends Z-A during a critical story quest. While its evolved form, Lampent, becomes accessible later, Litwick itself must be caught quickly when sighted in Lumiose Sewers.

Lampent emerges as a nighttime dweller in advanced exploration zones after significant progress. Its Mega-Evolving final form, Chandelure, offers strategic advantages in combat scenarios.

Locating Litwick in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Search the underground canals of Lumiose City during Mission 19: Rank D Ascension. Access requires completing Side Mission 57 (The Entrepreneur’s Camerupt) first. Simply toss a Poke Ball when encountering this spectral flame.

Acquiring Lampent in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Nighttime explorations in Western Wild Zone 17 (unlocked post-Mission 24) may reveal this evolved form. Rare Alpha variants occasionally appear. Alternatively, evolve Litwick at Level 41 for guaranteed acquisition.

Obtaining Chandelure in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Access Wild Zone 20 after completing all primary objectives to find Chandelure. Weaknesses include Water, Ground, and Dark-type moves. For early acquisition, use a Dusk Stone (purchasable for 3,000 PD) on Lampent.

Unlocking Mega Chandelure

Obtain Chandelurite from Quasartico Inc. for 360 Mega Shards. This item enables temporary Mega Evolution during combat when the transformation meter fills. The enhanced form provides significant stat boosts for critical battles.
