The full roster is still being revealed. Legends: Z-A features a curated Pokedex focused on Kalos Pokemon and Mega Evolution. This page updates as new Pokemon are confirmed.
Legends: Z-A is set in Lumiose City and reimagines the Kalos region through the Legends formula. Mega Evolution returns as the core battle mechanic. The game uses action RPG gameplay similar to Legends: Arceus with Agile and Strong styles. New Mega forms debut alongside returning Megas from X and Y.
Yes. Mega Evolution is the central mechanic. New Mega forms join returning favorites from Gen 6. Only one Pokemon can Mega Evolve per battle. The Mega Dimension DLC expands the roster with additional Mega Evolutions and postgame content.
Nintendo Switch 2, released in 2025. It's the first mainline Pokemon game on the Switch 2. Performance improvements over the original Switch are visible in draw distance and frame rate.
Different genre. X and Y are traditional turn-based RPGs. Legends: Z-A is an action RPG like Legends: Arceus where you catch Pokemon in the overworld, battles use Agile/Strong styles, and the structure is mission-based. Same Kalos region, different gameplay entirely.
Gen 9, same generation as Scarlet and Violet. Switch 2, 2025. Legends: Z-A is set in Kalos and built around Mega Evolution. The Legends format (action RPG, Agile/Strong styles) replaces the traditional turn-based structure.
