![]() Next to Cafe Action |
You can start the Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo mission by speaking to Taille in North Boulevard. She can be found next to Cafe Action, along with her collection of Pumpkaboo.

Although Pumpkaboo spawns both during the day and at night, Jumbo Pumpkaboo only appears at night. Be sure to switch to nighttime first before checking the spawns. You can do this by resting on a bench.
Keep in mind that Jumbo Pumpkaboo is different from Alpha Pumpkaboo or XL Pumpkaboo, with these having a chance to spawn during the day. Don’t catch any Alpha, as Taille will just reject those.
How to Change Time To Night or Day

As Taille mentioned, the best place to hunt for Pumpkaboo is in Wild Zone 15. Head there to start your hunt for a Jumbo Pumpkaboo!
Wild Zone 15 is just ahead of where Taille and her Pumpkaboo are, so keep heading north and you should be able to reach it.
Wild Zone 15 Pokemon and How to Unlock

Next, head to the main road of Wild Zone 15. All Pumpkaboo should be spawning here, so try catching a few to compare their sizes. Chances are, one of them will be a Jumbo!

When checking for the Pumpkaboo variant, use the Poke Ball logo in the background for comparison. A Jumbo Pumpkaboo will almost cover the entire Poke Ball, while smaller ones will not.
Other indicators of a Jumbo Pumpkaboo include its size in the overworld, which is almost half the height of your character, and its pitched-down cry compared to smaller ones.
Take note that these Pumpkaboo sizes are form variations and not size classifications. Jumbo Pumpkaboo can still have the size classification of XS, S, M, or L.

If no Jumbo Pumpkaboo spawn for you, you can force a respawn by fast traveling. This will reroll all the Pumpkaboo, giving you a better chance of finding a Jumbo.

Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo only requires you to catch a Jumbo Pumpkaboo. Once you have one, give it to Taille to complete the mission. If you already have a Jumbo Pumpkaboo, you can skip the catching process and hand it to her right away.
Pumpkaboo Location, Evolution, and Stats

Taille will make it clear that she doesn’t want an Alpha Pumpkaboo, even if they're noticeably larger. Be sure to catch only a regular Jumbo Pumpkaboo!

| Description | It seems that Pumpkaboo come in different varieties that determine their size. The requester wants a Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo. |

Of note: the size rating (S, M, L, etc) are NOT related to the Pumpkaboo varieties. When I went to deliver it, I had an S and an M-sized Jumbo that counted.

You can tell a Jumbo Pumpkaboo by its Cry. Much deeper than all the others sizes! This is what helped me the most to find it.
