Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Urban Redevelopment in Lumiose City

Experience Mega Evolution like never before in a futuristic Kalos adventure

About the Game

Pokémon Legends: Z-A takes place entirely within Lumiose City, the iconic heart of the Kalos region. Players will experience an ambitious urban redevelopment project that aims to create a city where humans and Pokémon can coexist harmoniously.

The game introduces real-time action battles similar to Pokémon Legends: Arceus, combined with the return of Mega Evolution—the powerful battle mechanic first introduced in Pokémon X and Y. This time, Mega Evolution plays a central role in both gameplay and story.

A mysterious figure named AZ and the legendary Eternal Flower Floette are central to the game's narrative, along with Zygarde in its various forms. Players will uncover the secrets of the ancient weapon and the true meaning of the "Z-A" in the title.

The game features 26 brand-new Mega Evolutions, bringing the total to over 70 Mega-capable Pokémon, making it the definitive Mega Evolution experience in the franchise.
