Put a Vaelet and a Vanwyrm Cryst in a Breeding Farm at about level 23. Dogen teleports you home on a 10 minute cooldown, and the wild ones are all level 53 or above.

Step one

Where to find the two parents

Dogen is the child, so the map draws its parents. Vanwyrm Cryst carries the heat because it has the larger population and the earlier band, and the Vaelet patch is pinned beside it.

[-276, 352]
The route
1Catch a Vanwyrm Cryst at [-276, 352]Level 23, 266 mapped points, and its best spawner group has a single Pal on the table. It is Dark and Ice, so Dragon covers one half and Fire the other.266 points from level 23
2Catch a Vaelet on SakurajimaOnly 32 mapped points, but 23.8 percent of the table at its densest patch, and a fixed level 27 field boss as the fallback. Vaelet is Grass, so bring Fire.32 points, plus a Lv 27 field boss
3Build a Breeding Farm and bake a CakeOne cake per egg. At level 23 the cake is genuinely the hard part of this route, so get a Ranch producing milk and eggs before you pair anything.One Cake per egg
4Put the pair in togetherVaelet with Vanwyrm Cryst is the cheapest of 248 pairs that land on Dogen. Order and gender do not matter, and nothing else in the list reaches it before level 26.248 pairs, cheapest at level 23
5Keep it in the party as a way homeHomeward Prayer is activated, teleports you to the nearest base, and runs on a 600 second cooldown. It will not fire inside dungeons or similar areas, so it is an overworld escape and not a dungeon one.600 second cooldown, not in dungeons

Egg hatchGreat odds
The Sakurajima Huge Common Egg is a coin flip

The Sakurajima pool of the Huge Common Egg has exactly two outcomes, which puts an alpha Dogen at 50 percent from any of them. The plain Large Common Egg is a reasonable second at 27.4 percent of four results in the same region.

Camp squadBy accident
Two Ninja camps field one

Dogen is on the roster of 2 Ninja camps, one inside the 01-02 camp and one on the third floor of 02-01, at one Pal each. No level is recorded for either entry, so treat this as something that happens while you are clearing a camp rather than a plan.

WildLater
52 points on one Sakurajima table

Every wild Dogen sits on a single spawner group at levels 53 to 56, 52 mapped points at 16.4 percent of the roll against Chillet Ignis, Sootseer, Yakumo and Bulldosu. Fine odds in a band you reach 30 levels after the pair would have worked.

52 pointsLv 53 to 5616.4 percentOpen the full map
DungeonBy accident
Cherry Blossom Cave alpha

Dogen is on the Sakurajima Cherry Blossom Cave boss table as an alpha at levels 51 to 52. There is no ordinary cave spawn for it, so a cave Dogen is always the alpha and always the harder version of the same catch.

Alpha onlyLv 51 to 52Show dungeons on the map
Homeward Prayer will not fire inside dungeons or similar areas, which is exactly where a player reaches for it. Treat it as a way to end an overworld trip, not as an escape from a bad cave.
Dogen has no field boss of its own. The alphas it does have are the Cherry Blossom Cave boss table and the alpha egg pools, so there is no fixed encounter to farm.
Two Ninja camp entries is unusual: most Pals in this Paldeck block have zero camp squad entries. No level is recorded for either one, so there is no way to know what level you will be fighting.
Why bother
Dogen is a free trip home. Its partner skill teleports you to the nearest base on a 600 second cooldown, which saves a walk every ten minutes for the whole mid game. It also works Handiwork 4, Transporting 3, Gathering 3 and Lumbering 3, so it earns a base slot on the days you are not carrying it.

What is the cheapest pair that makes a Dogen?

Vaelet with Vanwyrm Cryst, at about level 23. Vanwyrm Cryst has 266 mapped points and a spawner table it holds outright, and Vaelet has a fixed level 27 field boss as a fallback.

How does the Dogen teleport work?

Homeward Prayer is activated rather than passive. It sends you to your nearest base, runs on a 600 second cooldown, and is blocked inside dungeons and similar areas.

Where does Dogen spawn in the wild?

Sakurajima, on one spawner table, at levels 53 to 56. There are 52 mapped points at 16.4 percent of the roll, and no other region carries it.

Which egg hatches into Dogen?

The Sakurajima pools of the Large and Huge Common Eggs. The Huge Common Egg pool has only two outcomes, so it is a 50 percent chance at an alpha Dogen, and the Large Common Egg is 27.4 percent of four.

Is there a Dogen boss to fight?

No. Dogen has no field boss of its own. The nearest thing is the Cherry Blossom Cave alpha at levels 51 to 52, which is not a fixed encounter you can return to.
