Zero Palafin isn't listed as a wild encounter in our game data. It is usually obtained by evolving its earlier stage. See the evolution chain above for how.
This Pokémon changes its appearance if it hears its allies calling for help. Palafin will never show anybody its moment of transformation.
Its physical capabilities are no different than a Finizen’s, but when its allies are in danger, it transforms and powers itself up.
