Capturing Hawlucha in Pokémon Legends ZA is complicated. The Pokémon is a rare spawn that will force you to go to a specific area south of Lumiose and look for it over and over, until it pops up. Its Pokédex entry says it lives in high places, so it's a hint that you have to look for it on rooftops.
Here's where you can find Hawlucha in ZA, if you're lucky.
Hawlucha location in Pokémon Legends ZA
You can look for Hawlucha and find it on top of Lumiose's buildings. You can climb the one south of the map, where we spotted one, by taking a Hololift you unlock in Side Quest 23. Even though we found Hawlucha at night, its Pokédex entry doesn't specify it's a night Pokémon, so you might still find it during the day. The one we found was Lv. 28.
There's no trick to make Hawlucha spawn more often. Leave the area and enter it again if you don't see it at first, which should force all nearby Pokémon to spawn again and give you another chance of spotting one.
While Hawlucha can theoretically be spotted on the top of any building in Lumiose, we've found its spawn to be more consistent on a building north of Wild Zone 1. If you can't access that area yet but really want to give a shot at finding Hawlucha anyway, try spotting it on other rooftops since this area isn't an exclusive spawn spot.
If you haven't completed that side quest but have the Roto-Float from Mission 18, you can float between rooftops to look for Hawlucha more efficiently as well. Spotting it is a game of chance and patience, so be prepared to enter and exit these spawn areas a lot.
With a Hawlucha in your party, you can use the Hawluchanite you get from the story to transform it into the mighty Mega Hawlucha.
