The Pokemon Company and developer Game Freak shared new trailers for Pokemon Legends: Z-A showing off Rogue Mega-Evolutions, Mega Evolutions, and the new Z-A Royale battle ranking.
Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus the new trailers:
Explore Lumiose City
During the day, Trainers can explore the vibrant city and find Pokémon in wild zones, where they may encounter strong wild Pokémon known as alpha Pokémon. These Pokémon are larger than their regular counterparts, have glowing red eyes, and are particularly powerful and difficult to catch.
At night, players can also compete in the Z-A Royale and aim to climb the ranks, with battles against even more powerful Trainers awaiting as the player advances. One of those Trainers the player will face in a promotion match is Corbeau, the boss of an organization operating in Lumiose City called the Rust Syndicate.
All kinds of encounters await the player in Lumiose City. Emma is a detective who asks the player to track down missing Pokémon, locate missing items, and occasionally take part in Pokémon battles. Trainers can also assist Mable, the acting director of the Pokémon Research Lab, who analyses Pokémon and the reasons behind their growing populations. In return, players can receive TMs and other rewards for their help.
Players can also look forward to investigating Rogue Mega Evolution and discovering new Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
- Rogue Mega Evolution: Wild Pokémon are mysteriously Mega Evolving and rampaging through Lumiose City, and Trainers who help battle and calm them alongside Team MZ can obtain Mega Stones.
- Newly Discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon: Mega Dragonite, with distinctive Dragonair-like features and enhanced speed and range in flight, is a newly revealed Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to launch on October 16th worldwide for both Switch and Switch 2.
