Bagon, Shelgon, and Salamence are among the most sought-after Dragon-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region, and fans of the series will be thrilled to know they return in Pokemon Legends ZA. Capturing and evolving this powerful pseudo-legendary line is one of the game’s ultimate challenges, requiring patience, preparation, and significant story progression. This late-game location sits near the central part of the in-game map and can be accessed from the ground level, close to residential areas. Once unlocked, Bagon spawns both during the day and at night, giving players flexibility when hunting for it. These shards are collected by breaking Mega Crystals located throughout Lumiose City. However, Salamencite only becomes available later in the main story, meaning players will need to progress significantly and spend time exploring to gather enough shards. Once obtained, Mega Evolution transforms Salamence into one of the most formidable Pokémon in the game, both in offense and defense. Once Mega Evolution is unlocked, Salamence becomes even more impressive, earning its place as a powerhouse in any Trainer’s roster. Watch Here
