The Pokemon Legends Z-A Release Date gets closer every day, and we now have a new trailer, showing off gameplay and more. Pokemon Legends Z-A is the next entry in the Legends series, following Legends: Arceus, which released back in 2022. However, Pokemon Legends Z-A comes with plenty of differences that might make it worth checking out.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Release Date – Late 2025
Pokemon Legends Z-A is set to release in late 2025, but the exact launch date has not yet been confirmed. The game will be available on Nintendo Switch. The game is developed by Game Freak.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Gameplay
Pokemon Legends Z-A uses a real-time combat system for battles, unlike the series’ traditional entries. While a wild Pokemon may attack you, you and your pocket monster can easily run away. During a battle, you’ll be able to move around and watch the battles from various angles.
The cool thing about Z-A’s gameplay is that it can work well once you understand the timing of attacks. For example, you can use a move like Dig to dodge an attack and deal damage. While it works similarly to the traditional games, it feels completely different on its own.
In the beginning of the game, the player can choose one of three starter pokemon. In this game, your starters are Totodile (Water), Chikorita (Grass), and Tepig (Fire). But throughout your adventure, you’ll be able to capture many pokemon and build a powerful team.
Within Lumiose City are Wild Zones, where wild Pokemon appear. These zones make for great places to catch new Pokemon, train, and explore the area. But Pokemon also appear outside the Wild Zones, meaning wherever you go they’ll appear.
At night, trainers appear and gather for a Z-A Royale. This tournament pits you against various trainers whom you can face to earn XP. If a trainer spots you, you’ll enter a battle. Therefore, only enter a Battle Zone when you feel prepared enough to battle. However, you can also use surprise attacks on trainers’ Pokemon to deal additional damage.

Mega Evolutions return to Z-A. Some Pokemon have the ability to Mega Evolve for a battle, making them extremely powerful. When building a team, consider all the different mega evolutions and which ones would work best for you.
Pokemon Legends Z-A Story
The story takes place in Lumiose City, first seen in Pokemon X and Y’s Kalos Region. During the story, a company called Quasartico Inc. is managing an urban redevelopment project where humans can coexist with Pokemon.
The story features several characters, who all play a role in the plot. Urbain/Taunie serves as the supporting character/rival who will test your skill throughout the game. AZ also makes an appearance, and the former king of the Kalos region now serves as the owner of Hotel Z. He’ll likely play an important role in the story.
You’ll also meet Quasartico Inc’s CEO, Jett, and her assistant, Vinnie. The Legendary Pokemom takes interest in the character throughout their adventure. But why?
