Pokémon Legends: Z-A (Nintendo Switch 2)

Live as a Pokémon Trainer and help protect the peace in Lumiose City—enhanced for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system!

Lumiose City—a home for people and Pokémon alike. Thanks to an urban redevelopment plan driven by Quasartico Inc., the lush greenery of verdant parks intermingles with facilities using the latest cutting-edge technology. A lot has changed here since the days of the Pokémon™ X and Pokémon Y games!

Choose Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as your first partner Pokémon, and then set off on a grand adventure! Your journey will take you to all manner of sights in the streets arrayed around Prism Tower, including shops, restaurants, and places called wild zones—where Pokémon roam free. As you catch, train, and battle Pokémon, there will be plenty of people to meet too—like AZ, the enigmatic owner of Hotel Z, and Team MZ, the crew that aims to keep Lumiose a peaceful place.

And with performance upgrades for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, you’ll experience Lumiose City like never before: with enhanced resolution and frame rates!

Catch, battle, and Mega Evolve—all in real time!

Step onto the battlefield and command your Pokémon directly—there are no turns! For the first time in the Pokémon RPG series, Trainers and their Pokémon can both move around in real-time battles, and your Pokémon will unleash their moves when you tell them to. Strategically swapping out your Pokémon and accounting for each move’s timing and area of effect will greatly help you in this new style of battle.

Once you obtain a Mega Ring and a Pokémon’s Mega Stone, you can harness the power of Mega Evolution! Temporarily unleash your Pokémon’s hidden energy to transform its appearance, greatly enhance its capabilities, and perhaps even change its type.

Mega Evolution might just be the key to overcoming your toughest challenges, like those posed by the Rogue Mega Evolution incidents occurring across Lumiose City. Wild Pokémon are Mega Evolving on their own and going on rampages. Investigate these dangerous incidents so you can put a stop to them—you may even encounter new Mega-Evolved Pokémon along the way!

Compete in the Z-A Royale and try to become the strongest Pokémon Trainer in town

You’re invited to join the Z-A Royale, a competition for Pokémon Trainers to test their skills and determine who’s strongest. Each night, a battle zone for the competition will appear. Prepare yourself by spending the day in wild zones, catching and training Pokémon, then venture into the battle zone and take on other Trainers. Be strategic and complete bonus card challenges as you battle to speed up your climb from Rank Z to Rank A. Reach the top, and you might just have a wish granted!
