LEGENDS Pokémon Z-A (Switch)

A new story unfolds in "Lumiose City," a city undergoing urban redevelopment. ▼The setting for your adventure: Lumiose City The setting for your adventure is Lumiose City, a major city in the Kalos region that also appeared in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. In this city, a city redevelopment plan is underway that aims for coexistence between humans and Pokémon, and wild Pokémon inhabit the Wild Zone, a district developed with the latest technology. The protagonist, who visits Lumiose City as a tourist, chooses one of Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as their partner and, together with their companions, takes on various events and incidents that occur in the city. ▼Challenge the "ZA Royale" at night At night, an area surrounded by red holograms called the "Battle Zone" appears in the city. There, from sunset to sunrise, the "ZA Royale" takes place every day, where trainers compete in Pokémon battles. Participants are given a "rank" ranging from Z to A, and everyone starts at Z rank. It is said that upon reaching A rank, one will be granted the title of strongest and honor, and will be able to have one wish granted. ▼A first for the series: battles where Pokémon and trainers act in real time. In battles, Pokémon and trainers move together, and Pokémon use moves according to the trainer's commands. In addition to type matchups, new gameplay elements such as the timing of switching Pokémon and selecting moves, the range of moves, and the speed at which they are executed are added, allowing you to enjoy Pokémon battles like never before. ▼Mega Evolution: The Key to This Game In Lumiose City, you'll frequently encounter "Mega Evolution," an evolution that goes beyond normal evolution. Some Pokémon can "Mega Evolve," temporarily unleashing their hidden power to achieve a power-up that surpasses normal evolution. How you utilize this "Mega Evolution" is also a key point in the battles.
