New details are continuing to be revealed for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Read on below to learn more:
The Pokémon Company International, in collaboration with Nintendo, recently revealed new details for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game, debuting a new trailer that introduces the high-stakes Z-A Royale competition.
When night falls in Lumiose City, a battle zone with red borders made from cutting-edge holographic technology will appear somewhere within the city. Trainers compete in these battle zones from dusk until dawn as part of the Z-A Royale, a fierce competition where participants start at Rank Z and battle their way to Rank A. Only the strongest will claim the top rank, and those who reach Rank A may even have one in-game wish granted. As players navigate the competition, they’ll encounter other competitors and friends who will test their skills, like either Urbain or Taunie.
During the day, Trainers can explore wild zones to catch and train Pokémon in preparation for upcoming battles at night. When the battle zone becomes active, timing and strategy are key as landing a surprise attack can provide a critical advantage and escaping higher-ranked opponents may sometimes be necessary. To succeed in the Z-A Royale, players must make the most of both day and night, strengthening their teams for any challenges that await in Lumiose City.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will launch on the Nintendo Switch family of systems in late 2025. For additional details, visit the official Pokémon Legends: Z-A website.
The new Pokémon Legends: Z-A trailer is now available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel. To watch the full Nintendo Direct presentation, head to the Nintendo of America YouTube channel.
