Evolution-Exclusive Pokemon

There are no known locations to find a wild Gourgeist, and is a Pokemon that can only be acquired by evolving its previous form once you have met its evolution conditions.

Trade Pumpkaboo with Another Player to Get Gourgeist

Pumpkaboo will evolve into Gourgeist when traded to another player. To receive your own Gourgeist, you can send your Pumpkaboo to another person, and then ask them to give it back to you after it has evolved.

Trading Board

Linking Cord is not Available in Legends Z-A

You cannot evolve a wild Pumpkaboo naturally into a Gourgeist, and there is no Linking Cord in Pokemon Legends Z-A that is used for trade evolutions.

If you want to get a Gourgeist fast, trading with other players is the surest and fastest way to do so.

Gourgeist Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Impish or Careful

Nature Stat Changes
Impish ↑ Defense, ↓ SpAtk
Careful ↑ SpDef, ↓ SpAtk

Due to Gourgeist (Average) having very high Defensive stats, its best natures are either Impish or Careful to boost its Defense or Special Defense further.

Gourgeist (Average) also has a better Attack stat compared to its Special Attack, so choosing one of the above natures allows Gourgeist (Average) to still deal some damage with its Physical Moves.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Relaxed ↑ Defense, ↓ Speed
Sassy ↑ SpDef, ↓ Speed

You can also give Gourgeist (Average) either Relaxed or Sassy nature, allowing you to increase your Defense or Special Defense at the cost of reduced Speed.

Keep in mind that giving Gourgeist (Average) any of the above two natures will increase the cooldown of moves, putting you at a disadvantage against faster Pokemon.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Gourgeist (Average) has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Gourgeist (Average) Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Light Screen Pokemon Psychic Type Icon 12
Phantom Force Pokemon Ghost Type Icon 12
Will-O-Wisp Pokemon Fire Type Icon 10
Power Whip Pokemon Grass Type Icon 12

We recommend the moves Power Whip, Phantom Force, Will-O-Wisp, and Light Screen when using Gourgeist (Average) during the main story.
