Nintendo Pokemon Legends: Z-a Switch

An ambitious new adventure set in Lumiose City awaits in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, coming to Nintendo Switch in late 2025. Explore the city, unravel its secrets and battle Pokemon like never before!

A Luminous Metropolis
An urban redevelopment plan is underway in Lumiose City! The goal: to turn it into a place Pokemon and people can truly share.

Shortly after arriving, you'll choose from one of these partner Pokemon to accompany you on your journey - Chikorita, Tepig or Totodile.

Together, you can explore the streets of this vast city or visit Wild Zones - habitats where you'll encounter wild Pokemon. To catch them, aim carefully and throw a Poke Ball or take them on with the help of the Pokemon on your team.

New, Dynamic Battles
For the first time ever, Trainers and their Pokemon will move around and take action in real time during battles.

Pokemon will unleash their moves when their Trainers command them to.

In addition to type matchups, there will be new mechanics to consider, such as the precise timing for swapping out your Pokemon or using moves, the different lengths of time moves will take to launch, and how big an area the moves will impact.

Whether you're a die-hard Pokemon fan or about to toss your first Poke Ball, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has plenty to offer for Trainers of all types.

Experience classic gameplay with modern twists that are sure to revolutionise your Pokemon RPG experience.

Mega Evolution is Back!
In Lumiose City, Pokemon can go beyond Evolution by undergoing Mega Evolution! When a Trainer's Key Stone resonates with the Mega Stone held by their Pokemon, the Pokemon will do more than just change shape and size - it will unlock a new level of power, which could turn the tide of battle!
