How To Find (& Catch) Galarian Zigzagoon in Pokémon Sword & Shield

Galarian Zigzagoon is a new variation of an older Pokemon in Pokemon Sword & Shield. This guide will help players locate their very own for their team. Pokemon Sword & Shield is one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch. Standing alongside major titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game continues to sell more copies due to the inclusion of its first-ever DLC content. Players are able to explore new areas and biomes not available in the base game. Although, building a team of Pokemon you like is the most important aspect of the game. Here’s how players can find their very own Galarian Zigzagoon in Pokemon Sword & Shield.

Pokemon Sword & Shield takes place in the newly introduced Galar region. With each new generation, a new location and dozens of new creatures become introduced into the world of Pokemon. Beginning in the seventh generation with Pokemon Sun and Moon, regent variations of older Pokemon were created. This was to give older Pokemon a new typing and look that matches with the ecosystem of that region. In the case with Pokemon Sun and Moon, Pokemon like Exeggutor received an Alolan version where its neck grew to massive heights because of the harsh sunlight on the islands. With Galar, Galarian versions of Pokemon came into existence. Here’s how players can find their very own Galarian Zigzagoon in the Galar region.

Where To Find Galarian Zigzagoon in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Galarian Zigzagoon is, fortunately, one of the more common Galarian Pokemon in the Galar region. Here are all the locations players can find one.

• Routes 2 and 3
• Bridge Field
• Giant’s Cap
• Stony Wilderness 
• Dusty Bowl
• Giant’s Mirror
• Motostoke Riverbank
• West Lake Axewell (Max Raid Battles) 

The important part of Galarian Zigzagoon is that this version can evolve into its third evolution, Obstagoon. The original Hoenn version is unable to do this.

Pokemon Sword & Shield is planning to release its second half of its DLC very soon. This includes the Crown Tundra, a new location to explore in the Galar region that is covered in ice. It will feature over 100 older Pokemon from previous generations, new story elements, new legendary Pokemon to encounter, and a new wild area full of secrets to discover. It is unknown if this will be the last of the Pokemon Sword & Shield DLC or if the next mainline title is approaching release in the near future. Regardless, Pokemon Sword & Shield will feel like the largest Pokemon title due to all of the extra content in the DLC.

Pokemon Sword & Shield is available now on Nintendo Switch.
