Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 version

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

A grand new adventure awaits in Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, launching at the end of 2025 on Nintendo Switch. Explore the city, uncover hidden secrets, and battle with your Pokémon like never before!

A metropolis for everyone

Lumiose City is being redesigned! The goal is to create a city where both Pokémon and people feel completely at home. Shortly after your arrival, you’ll choose one of these three Pokémon as your partner: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.

Together, you can stroll through the streets of the city or visit the various wild zones — special habitats for wild Pokémon. To catch a wild Pokémon, you’ll need to aim carefully and throw a Poké Ball. It can also help to weaken the Pokémon first using your own Pokémon.

New, dynamic battles

For the first time, Trainers and their Pokémon can perform direct actions and move freely during battles. Pokémon will use their abilities as soon as their Trainer gives the command.

In addition to the influence of Pokémon types, there are new elements to consider, such as the timing of switching Pokémon or using a move, how long it takes to execute a move, and the area of effect of the move.

Mega Evolutions are back!

In Lumiose City, Pokémon can undergo a transformation known as Mega Evolution. When a Trainer’s Key Stone resonates with their Pokémon’s Mega Stone, the Pokémon not only changes form but also reaches a new level of power for a huge advantage in battle!
