An urban Pokémon adventure in Lumiose City with real-time battles.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A takes the bold, exploratory spirit of Legends: Arceus and drops it into a single living city. Set entirely in Lumiose City, it's a fresh, modern take on the series that swaps sprawling routes for an urban adventure.
Rather than crisscrossing a region, you dig into Lumiose City and its redevelopment, exploring its streets and zones, meeting its residents, and finding Pokémon woven throughout the urban landscape. It's a focused, character-rich setting that gives the adventure a distinct identity.
Battles move in real time — you position yourself, time your moves, and dodge instead of waiting your turn, which makes encounters feel more dynamic. Fan-favorite Mega Evolution also returns, giving certain Pokémon a powerful temporary boost in the heat of a fight.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is available digitally on the Nintendo eShop, and online features use a Nintendo Switch Online membership. The easiest way to buy in is a Nintendo eShop card — delivered by email in minutes, and the funds cover the game, the membership, or both. New to it all? Read how to redeem an eShop card on Switch.
