London, United Kingdom — October 16, 2025 — Trainers can embark on a new adventure in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game, now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch consoles.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. Each night, battle zones will appear and allow Trainers to compete in real-time battles from dusk until dawn as part of the Z-A Royale competition. Bonus card challenges add another layer of strategy as Trainers seek to climb from Rank Z to Rank A. By day, wild zones offer opportunities to catch and train Pokémon in preparation for the Z-A Royale.
Trainers may also witness Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution, a powerful transformation that goes beyond standard Evolution, altering a Pokémon’s appearance and—sometimes—their type. Effectively using Mega Evolution can dramatically influence battle outcomes, including those posed by rampaging Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
Players can test their skills against friends or Trainers around the world in the Z-A Battle Club, where up to four Trainers can face off at once, locally1 or online2, in electrifying real-time battles.
Trainers who own a Nintendo Switch 2 console can upgrade their Nintendo Switch version of the game with the upgrade pack to access the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
