Features of Nintendo Switch 2

Pokémon™ Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch™ 2 Edition brings performance improvements, higher resolution, and smoother frame rates, making Lumiose City more vibrant than ever.

Live the life of a Pokémon Trainer on the streets of Lumiose City

Are you a Pokémon fanatic or throwing your first Poké Ball? It doesn't matter: the game Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a lot to offer Trainers of all kinds. Experience classic gameplay mechanics with modern twists that will revolutionize your Pokémon RPG experience.

Enter the battlefield and command your Pokémon directly, with no turns! For the first time in the Pokémon RPG series, Trainers and their Pokémon can move in battles in real time, and Pokémon can unleash their moves as soon as you command them. Strategically switching Pokémon and considering timing and area of effect will be a great help in this new style of combat.

Highlights

Harness the Power of Mega Evolution

• When Trainers have strong bonds with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the Trainer resonates with a Mega Stone equipped by their Pokémon, and that's how Mega Evolution happens.
• Mega Evolution goes beyond the limits of conventional Evolution, granting even more power by temporarily using a Pokémon's hidden energy.
• Pokémon will have a different appearance when they Mega Evolve, and some may even change type, but they will still be your faithful partners!

Rogue Mega Evolution

• Rogue Mega Pokémon are out of control and threatening Lumiose City. These Pokémon are more challenging to battle, but if you manage to defeat them, you'll receive valuable Mega Power Orbs as a reward.

Reach the Top of the Z-A Royale

• We invite you to participate in the Z-A Royale, a competition for Pokémon Trainers to test their skills to decide who is the strongest.
• Every night, a battle zone for the competition will appear. Prepare yourself during the day in the wild zones, catching and training Pokémon, and then head to the battle zone to face other Trainers.
• Think carefully about your strategy and complete bonus card challenges in battles to ascend from Rank Z to Rank A.
• Will you be able to reach the top of the rankings?
