How to find Dratini in Pokémon Legends Z-A

If you are heading to Lumiose City in the thrilling action-adventure title Pokémon Legends Z-A, there are a few powerful Pokémon you absolutely want to be a part of your team. One such pick is the Dragon-type Dratini, originating from all the way back in Pokémon Red & Blue on the Game Boy.

This slithering little sidekick makes a great addition to any team and has been made even better by the recent addition of Mega Dragonite. So, learn where to find one below, with our full guide.

At the time of writing, the easiest way to find a Dratini in Pokémon Legends Z-A is to head to Vert Sector 6 and then travel to Restaurant Le Nah. Once you have arrived, climb the ladder outside the restaurant to reach the rooftop, where you will find a Dratini.

This Dratini is likely to run away, so be careful approaching it. We recommend using a Quick Ball, but if you do lose it, it should respawn in this area after some time.

Can Dratini be Alpha in Pokémon Legends Z-A?

Yes, Dratini can be found in the Alpha form during Pokémon Legends Z-A. Much like other Pokémon, there is a random chance for this to happen, so it is likely just a case of repeatedly encountering the Pokémon to force an Alpha spawn.

Can Dratini be Shiny in Pokémon Legends Z-A?

Yes, Dratini can be Shiny in Pokémon Legends Z-A. There is no set way to secure one, but normal methods will help. Complete the Pokédex to earn the Shiny Charm, which increases the base rate of Shiny appearances. Otherwise, find where Dratini spawns, and repeatedly enter, exit, and then re-enter the arena until you find a Shiny.
