  Inspired by the observation of charmoniumlike $Z(4200)$, we explore the
discovery potential of the neutral $Z^{0}(4200)$ production by
antiproton-proton annihilation with an effective Lagrangian approach. By
investigating the $\bar{p}p\rightarrow J/\psi \pi ^{0}$ process including the
$Z^{0}(4200)$ signal and background contributions, it is found that the center
of mass energy $E_{c.m.}\simeq 4.0-4.5$ GeV is the best energy window for
searching the neutral $Z^{0}(4200)$, where the signal can be clearly
distinguished from background. The relevant calculations is not only helpful to
search for the neutral $Z^{0}(4200)$ in the future experiment, but also will
promote the understanding the nature and production mechanism of neutral
$Z^{0}(4200)$ better.
