Vanwyrm appears in volcano (Lv 32–38) dungeons, and can be the dungeon boss. Dungeons open and close over time, so look for the cave icons on your map.
ShopPal merchants
Some Pal merchants sell Vanwyrm at Lv 30–35. Their stock changes, so it won't always be there.

How to catch it
Be close to level 35 or above, with Pals that level too.
Bring WaterDragon Pals. They hit Vanwyrm extra hard.
Lower its health first, then throw your best Pal Spheres. Throwing at its back gives a catch bonus.

Condensing raises its jobs like this:

Condense it at a Pal Essence Condenser (unlocks at Lv 14) using 4, 8, 12 and 24 more Vanwyrm for each star (48 in all). Or feed it Starfruit ☆1 to ☆4 from the Medal trader, or a Ripe Starfruit from the Bounty token exchange. The Condenser shows the new levels before you confirm.
