A never-before-seen adventure awaits trainers in Lumiose City!

The Pokémon Company is proud to announce the upcoming and newest Nintendo Switch software title Pokémon
Legends: Z-A to be released in late 2025.

A New Story unfolds in Lumiose City that’s under the Urban Redevelopment Plan.

The story is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. Compared to Lumiose City, as it appeared in the 2013 Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games, the place has more greenery now adorning the city, alongside facilities with a cutting-edge feel.

The Story Begins with a Sightseeing Trip to Lumiose City

While visiting Lumiose City during travels, players are welcome to stay in an old hotel named Hotel Z. This hotel will serve as the base for trainers and the new friends they will meet in Lumiose as they tackle all sorts of incidents they will encounter in the city.

Wild Zones: Habitats for Wild Pokémon

As part of Lumiose’s urban redevelopment plan, driven by a large corporation called
Quasartico Inc., the city has been outfitted with “wild zones,” in an effort to help humans and Pokémon share the city. These areas are constructed using cutting-edge technology to give Pokémon places to live. Within the wild zones, players can battle Pokémon and catch them by throwing Poké Balls.

A Pokémon Series First: Pokémon and Trainers Take Action in Real Time During Battle

In previous titles in the Pokémon video game series, Pokémon took action once per turn. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, trainers and their Pokémon will move around in real time during battles, and Pokémon will unleash their moves when their trainers command them to.

In addition to type matchups, there will be new gameplay mechanics to consider, such as the precise timing for swapping out your Pokémon or using moves, the different lengths of time moves will take to launch, and how big an area the moves will have an impact. This unprecedented style of Pokémon battling is one of the most thrilling parts of this title.

Pokémon and Trainers Who Appear in the Story

Your Character

After arriving in Lumiose for some sightseeing, trainers can make new friends and tackle all sorts of incidents in the city. After arriving in Lumiose, certain events will lead trainers to befriending a Pokémon that will become their adventure partner, thus beginning their journey as Pokémon trainers.

Which Pokémon will you set off an adventure with: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile?

People and Pokémon You Can Encounter in Lumiose City

Trainers can make a friend who lives and works at Hotel Z, supporting the owner however they can. They may come on strong at times, but they like helping people and Pokémon.

They’re quite skilled at Pokémon battles, too. The appearance you choose at the beginning of the game will determine whether Urbain or Taunie will appear.

AZ is a man who stands over 9 ft tall. He’s the owner of Hotel Z and claims to be 3,000 years old. He quietly harbors a strong determination and will.

This unusual Floette looks different from other members of her species and holds a black flower. The Eternal Flower Floette is also said to have lived for 3,000 years. She always accompanies AZ.

Jett is the CEO of Quasartico Inc., a large corporation driving Lumiose’s urban
redevelopment plan to shape the city into one that belongs to both people and Pokémon.

Vinnie is a large man who wears sunglasses. He works at Quasartico as Jett’s secretary. He always seems busy and has a reputation for being a fast worker.

The Legendary Pokémon Zygarde

Zygarde is made up of a multitude of cell-like components, and it changes form depending on how many of these components have gathered together. Its brain is made up of the few existing Zygarde Cores, while the rest of its body is comprised of Zygarde Cells, which are far more plentiful. It seems to have taken a special interest in trainers… what could its
connection to this story be?

The Key to This Title: Mega Evolution

In Lumiose City, trainers sometimes see Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution — a kind of Evolution that transcends standard Evolution. Effectively using Mega Evolution will likely be your key to victory in Pokémon battles.

Mega Evolution Can Turn the Tide of Battle — But What Is It?

Mega Evolution goes beyond the limits of regular Evolution. Only certain Pokémon can Mega Evolve. Doing so imparts power greater than regular Evolution by temporarily unleashing the
energy hidden within the Pokémon. Pokémon change their appearance when they Mega Evolve, and certain Pokémon may even change types.

When trainers have a strong bond with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the trainer resonates with a Mega Stone held by their Pokémon, allowing Mega Evolution to take place.

Eventually, trainers will wear a Mega Ring with a Key Stone embedded in it. Other trainers may wear their Key Stones in different ways.

Here are more examples of Mega-Evolved Pokémon:
