London, UK – 12 September 2025 – The Pokémon Company group, in collaboration with Nintendo, announced new details for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game and revealed new title Pokémon Pokopia.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension
Players can look forward to expanding their Lumiose City adventures with the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, compatible with both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The new downloadable content will allow Trainers to continue their story with Team MZ after completing the main story of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
The Mischief Pokémon, Hoopa, seems to hold the key to Mega Dimension’s story. This Mythical Pokémon can warp space using the rings on its horns and around its body. These loops are stretchable and can form holes inside them leading to far-off places. Spatial distortions have also appeared in Lumiose, giving fans even more to discover throughout the city.
Two newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y, have been revealed. Mega Raichu X floats using electromagnetism, concentrating electricity into its fists to land devastating blows. Mega Raichu Y strikes foes swiftly with the amplified electric power coursing through its body. Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y each require a different Mega Stone to Mega Evolve, and both can be encountered in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.
New Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
New Mega Evolutions, available in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, have been revealed for Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja. These three Pokémon were first discovered in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games. The Mega Stones required to Mega Evolve them—Chesnaughtite, Delphoxite, and Greninjite—can be obtained from the Z-A Battle Club as rewards for being promoted up the ranks in online Ranked Battles. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Ranked Battles offer three types of rewards: battle rewards earned after each battle, promotion rewards earned upon rising in rank, and season rewards that vary by rank and are obtainable at the end of each season.[1]

Pokémon Pokopia
Developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES and releasing on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, Pokémon Pokopia is a life simulation game where players can create their own Pokémon paradise. The game features Ditto as its protagonist, who has transformed to look like a human. As Ditto, players can explore and learn moves from the Pokémon they befriend—such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to grow greenery, or Squirtle’s Water Gun to revive dried-up plants—expanding their capabilities and helping them create an inviting environment to attract a variety of Pokémon.
Players can collect materials, build furniture, grow vegetables, and create homes for Pokémon, allowing them to experience a cozy, slow life with Pokémon—one that they build themselves from the ground up. Over time, players can develop a town of their own and invite other players or Pokémon to visit. Pokémon Pokopia also features a day-night cycle linked to real-world time, changing weather, and in-game locations with their own unique characteristics.
