Last Updated: April 21, 2021

Jangmo-o is a new Dragon-type Pokémon in Sun and Moon that can evolve into the pseudo-legendary Dragon-and-Fighting-type Pokémon Hakamo-o, making it a valuable Pokémon for any player, competitively or not.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:
Under the Tree

1
Traverse through Poni Canyon, until you get near the end of it.
2
Find a tree there.
3
Crawl under it, and there is a small chance that a Jangmo-o will appear.
- While this method is difficult, one advantage of it is that past the tree is a small pond where you can find TM35.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:
Near the Trial Site

1
Look out for a patch of grass. Once you are almost done with Poni Canyon, you will see a small patch of grass near the trial site.
- In this patch, you have a 5% chance to find a Jangmo-o.
2
Boost your chances if you can. Your chances can be boosted by having a Pokémon with the move Sweet Scent in your party, or an ability that increases encounters with wild Pokémon.

Question

Does anyone know where the tree is?

Community Answer

I recommend traversing the whole of Poni Canyon, and then using Machamp Shove to move the boulder near the Veteran by the entrance. The tree is near that opening.

Can you get Jangmo-o on one of the other islands?

No. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Vast Poni Canyon is the only known place where you can catch Jangmo-o.
