An ambitious new adventure set in Illumina City awaits you in Pokémon Legends: Z-A , coming to Nintendo Switch in late 2025.
Explore the city, uncover its secrets, and battle Pokémon like never before!
An illuminated metropolis
An urban development plan is underway in Illumina City! The goal of this plan is to make the city a place that Pokémon and humans alike can truly share. Shortly after your arrival, you'll choose one of these partner Pokémon to accompany you on your journey: Chimney, Floink, or Totodile.
Together with your partner Pokémon, you can explore the streets of this huge city or visit wild sectors—habitats where you'll encounter wild Pokémon. If you want to catch one, you'll have to aim accurately and then throw a Poké Ball at it, or take it on with the help of the Pokémon on your team.
New, dynamic battles
For the first time ever, Trainers and their Pokémon will run together and act in real time during a battle. Pokémon perform their attacks as soon as their Trainers tell them to.
For example, the timing of changing your Pokémon or the different times it takes for an attack to start, and the size of the area of effect of an attack.
Mega Evolution is back!
In Illumina City, Pokémon with Mega Evolution can go beyond ordinary Evolution! When a Trainer's Keystone reacts to the Mega Stone of one of their Pokémon, the Pokémon won't just change shape and size—it will unleash untold powers that can turn the tide of battle!
