The tradition of powerful, oversized creatures continues in Pokémon Legends: Z-A with the return of Alpha Pokémon. These variants are instantly recognizable due to their significantly larger stature and superior base stats, making them highly desirable additions for trainers focused on building the most formidable team possible.With over half of the 230 available Pokémon in Legends: Z-A possessing an Alpha form, tracking them all down can be a substantial undertaking. While most are found in the expansive Wild Zones, some are gated behind specific conditions like the time of day, 100% zone completion, or dedicated missions.Here is a complete breakdown of where to find all known Alpha Pokémon across Lumiose City and its surrounding areas.

Tips for Catching Alpha Pokémon

Look for the Glow: Alpha Pokémon are visibly larger than their regular counterparts.
Time of Day: If a location is specified as "at night," ensure you adjust the time accordingly, usually by resting at a base camp.
Zone Completion: Don't forget that powerful Alphas like Espurr are locked until you achieve 100% research completion for all Pokémon species within that specific Wild Zone.
Preparation: Always save your game before attempting to catch an Alpha, as they are powerful and often hostile. Bring plenty of high-quality Poké Balls!
