Evolving Pancham into Pangoro Pokémon Legends: Z-A will help you add more to your Pokédex.

Unlike some other Pokémon you collect in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pancham is not a trade evolution, nor do they need a special evolution item to reach their next form. Instead, you need something else entirely…

On that note, here’s how to evolve Pancham into Pangoro Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

How to evolve Pancham into Pangoro Pokémon Legends Z-A

To evolve Pancham into Pangoro in Pokémon Legends: Z-A you need to have a Dark-type Pokémon in your boxes or party and have Pancham reach Level 32. Once you’ve met both of these requirements, you can evolve Pancham into Pangoro!

Also, you will encounter Alpha Pangoro during Main Mission 40 - 'The One That Gives'.

Pancham location

You can find Pancham in Wild Zone 3 in the north-west garden during the day and at night. This gives you plenty of time, and opportunities, to collect this Fighting-type. Pancham is weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy-types, so make sure you have at least one of these in your inventory if you want an easy fight.

Here's a map of Wild Zone 3:
