Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #204. Pumpkaboo brings Ghost and Grass typing into Lumiose and its Defense stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Pumpkaboo fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Pumpkaboo in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Pumpkaboo is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #204 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Pumpkaboo directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A is Ghost and Grass. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Pumpkaboo is weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, Ghost, and Dark. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Pumpkaboo is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Pumpkaboo resists Water, Electric, Grass, and Ground. It is also immune to Normal and Fighting. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 335. Its standout base stat is Defense at 70, while Special Attack at 44 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Pumpkaboo, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Its defensive numbers are comparatively modest, so simply leaving it exposed is unlikely to be the best use of that spread. Its Speed sits in the middle of the spread rather than defining the entire Pokémon.
How Pumpkaboo Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Pumpkaboo because battles happen in real time.
Pumpkaboo Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Pumpkaboo, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Pumpkaboo Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Pumpkaboo in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Pumpkaboo from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Pumpkaboo Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Pumpkaboo: dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Pumpkaboo has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
