    Plus 2 more areas (all on the map).

  2. DungeonInside dungeons

    Dogen appears in Sakurajima (Lv 51–52) dungeons, and can be the dungeon boss. Dungeons open and close over time, so look for the cave icons on your map.

  3. EggBreed it

    245 different parent pairs make Dogen. See every pair

How to catch it

  • Be close to level 56 or above, with Pals that level too.
  • Bring Dark Pals. They hit Dogen extra hard.
  • Lower its health first, then throw your best Pal Spheres. Throwing at its back gives a catch bonus.
