1Wild Zone 20Kalos and Kanto starters, and multiple final evolutions, with many of them being Alpha versions.Read below.
2Wild Zone 8Gible, Drillbur, KrokorokGible evolves into Garchomp, while Drillbur does the same for Excadrill. Both are extremely great final evolutions. Krokorok is no slouch either, already being an evolved Pokemon, with another evolution soon.
3Wild Zone 4Gastly, HonedgeBoth are good Ghost type Pokemon, especially later on after evolving into Gengar and Aegislash.
4Wild Zone 11Gyarados, ClawitzerGetting two fully evolved Pokemon, especially Gyarados is a boon. You can also immediately Mega Evolve this Pokemon immediately afterwards.
5Wild Zone 14Excadrill, Lairon, OnixSteel is a great typing. Excadrill is extremely strong in general, without mentioning the Mega Evolution. Onix can also evolve into Steelix to Mega Evolve.
6Wild Zone 9Fletchinder, KadabraFletchinder is a great Fire-Flying type to deal with any Grass/Bug-types. Kadabra is also a great Psychic-type to train this early.
7Wild Zone 6Magikarp, Houndour, BunearyMagikarp is found at around level 18 here, giving you easy access to Gyarados. Houndour also evolves into Houndoom quite early. Lastly, Buneary evolves into Lopunny on just high friendship alone.
8Wild Zone 18Fennekin, Bagon, Noivern, AltariaBagon evolves into Salamence, and it alongside Altaria can both Mega Evolve. Noivern is also a great glass cannon Pokemon you can use.
9Wild Zone 17Chespin, Lampent, Skarmory, PyroarLampent and Chespin evolve into Chandelure and Chesnaught respectively. All four Pokemon can Mega Evolve further to boost their power.
10Wild Zone 16Froakie, Starmie, Falinks, BarbaracleSame as mentioned above. All of the mentioned Pokemon have decent – good Mega Evolutions (combat wise).
11Wild Zone 3Litleo, Skiddo, PikachuEarly on, type coverage will be key, and this Wild Zone has good Fire, Grass and Electric-type Pokemon. Pikachu is also an evolved Pokemon, giving it decent stats for the early game.
12Wild Zone 15Larvitar, Beedrill, HaunterHaunter into Gengar is a good evolution line. The same goes for Larvitar. Beedril is also another decent Bug-type Pokemon with a Mega Evolution.
13Wild Zone 12Machoke, Gogoat, SnoverMachoke is a decent Fighting Pokemon to have. Gogoat and Snover are also usable Grass-type Pokemon, albeit nothing special.
14Wild Zone 7Kakuna, RoseliaKakuna will evolve into Beedrill quite quickly. Roselia evolves into Roserade, which is a great attacker.
15Wild Zone 5Eelektrike, PidgeottoEelektrike will take some time to evolve, while Pidgeotto is a decent Flying-type to have here.
16Wild Zone 10Arbok, WatchogThe final evolution, Poison-type, is one of the only good Pokemon here. Apart from this, the Normal-type Watchog can be a decent addition if you have an empty spot on your team immediately.
17Wild Zone 13Pinsir, Heracross, ScytherThe Bug typing is usually underwhelming, and so Heracross and Pinsir are not enough to rank this Wild Zone higher. You can also get Heracross from one of the earliest side missions.
18Wild Zone 19Eevee This Wild Zone unlocks very late into the game, and Eevee can already be obtained in various other locations before you unlock this area.
19Wild Zone 2Magikarp, KakunaAlthough Magikarp is a good addition, it takes a while to evolve into Gyarados. So, Kakuna is the only decent pick here.
20Wild Zone 1Fletchling, BunnelbyFletchling can be found in multiple places as well, and can be replaced if you picked Tepig as your starter, or just caught any Pidgey on the street. Bunnelby is a good Pokemon just due to learning Rock Smash, which can be used on other Normal-types.

Why Is Wild Zone 20 the Best Wild Zone in Pokemon Legends Z-A?

This is the post-game Wild Zone, and it is for a reason. This Wild Zone can spawn not only the Kanto starters, which you missed out on, but also many final evolution Pokemon. Many of these Pokemon will also be Alpha variants. These reasons will make it the best Wild Zone in Legends Z-A based on Pokemon spawns.
