How to Find & Catch Dratini in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Looking for a Dratini in Pokemon Legends Z-A? This guide will walk you through the exact location and steps needed to find and catch this elusive Dragon-type Pokémon. Follow along as we navigate through the Wild Zone and use specific techniques to locate and capture Dratini.

Location Overview

Dratini can be found in a Garden located just south of Quartus Co Inc, north of Wild Zone 7. You’ll recognize the area by the label “Magenta Secta 7” on your map.

How to Reach the Garden

To access the Garden where Dratini spawns, you’ll need to use Fire to burn through some vines blocking the entrance. Be aware that there’s also an Alpha Roltz present in this Garden, so come prepared for potential encounters.

Navigation Path to Dratini

Step 1: Climb the First Ladder

Once you’ve entered the Garden, proceed through it and locate a ladder to climb up.

Step 2: Cross the Roofs

At the top of the ladder, head upward and traverse across the roof ahead of you.

Step 3: Use Your Rotor Guide

Jump off the roof and use your rotor guide to glide across the street below.

Step 4: Second Ladder and Path Navigation

Immediately after landing, head up the next ladder you encounter.

Once at the top, go straight ahead and then turn left. You may need to use Fire again if you haven’t already unlocked this web passage.

Step 5: Final Approach

Take another left turn over the bridge, and you’ll find Dratini waiting for you.

Catching Dratini: What to Expect

Dratini is notably shy and will be quick to flee once it spots you. This makes catching it significantly more challenging than other Pokémon. The catch rate is quite low, so be prepared for multiple attempts. If you have all three Canary Plushes equipped, note that this may also affect your chances of success.

Respawning Strategy

If you don’t catch Dratini on your first attempt, don’t worry. Simply stand back from the area and crouch down. Wait a few minutes, and Dratini will respawn. You cannot enter the immediate area while waiting, but remaining crouched nearby should trigger a respawn relatively quickly. This gives you multiple opportunities to perfect your timing and catching technique.

Summary

Finding and catching Dratini in Pokemon Legends Z-A requires patience and precise navigation. Use Fire to access the Garden south of Quartus Co Inc, follow the ladder and rooftop path to reach the Dratini spawn location, and be ready for a challenging catch due to its shy nature. If you fail, simply wait for a respawn and try again. With persistence, you’ll successfully add Dratini to your team.
