In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Side Mission 18, “A Pan-tastic Pot of Tea” will ask you to bring Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour to a café manager. Finding all three of these monkeys can be tricky at first, since the game doesn’t really help you with any guidance on where exactly to find these little scamps.
We did, however, find a pretty early reliable spot to grab some monkeys, so you don’t have to spend all your time staring up at trees and wandering rooftops aimlessly.
Below we list two early-game locations to help you find Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Where to find Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As the game’s Pokédex will tell you, you can find these monkeys up in trees and on roofs of buildings, but that isn’t particularly helpful information. These monkeys don’t show up in wild zones at all, so while, yes, you can just look up at trees in hopes that you’ll find one, we’ve found two early spots in the game that always have at least two monkeys.
These two locations will feature random monkeys from the three, which means you can get a little unlucky and get multiple copies of the same monkey. If this happens, you can either catch or defeat them, but you’ll have to wait quite a bit before they respawn.
First location — Bleu Sector 7 Rooftop
For the first location, head west from Wild Zone 1, until you hit the Bleu Pokémon Center. Wrap around the building, and you’ll see a food truck (Nouveau Café Truck No. 2, actually), which will turn into a fast travel point. There’s some scaffolding along this building that will let you climb up — it’s actually the same one we recommend for finding Eevee early. You can see an exact map of the scaffolding location below.
Climb up and walk on top of the rooftops until you’re above the Pokémon Center. You’ll see two talking NPCs, some breakable rocks, and two pan-monkeys! The two monkeys’ levels on this rooftop will vary, but we’ve seen them at level 16 and 17.
Second location — Jaune Sector 2 Rooftop
For the second location, you’ll want to head over to Jaune Sector 2, which is to the west of the Justice Dojo. We recommend starting from the Prism Tower and heading northwest. Once you reach the Saison Canal, take the northern path and go up the wide staircase. At the top of the staircase, turn left to find a ladder leading to the rooftop.
Once you climb to the top, look to the right to see three pan-monkeys relaxing on the lower rooftop. The three monkeys’ levels on this rooftop will vary, but we’ve seen them range from levels 14-17.
These two locations aren’t the only places to find these monkeys, but they’re fairly easy locations to reach early, allowing you to complete the side mission as fast as possible.
