Pokémon Legends: Z-A is finally set to release this month. Set in the Kalos region, just like Pokémon X and Y, the adventure unfolds in Lumiose City, modeled after Paris, France. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Mega Evolution, a standout feature of the game. This article outlines what you should do to prepare for the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Play Pokémon XY to prepare in advance.
Be sure to study Mega Evolution, the characters that appear, the types of Pokemon, costumes, and the geography of Lumiose City before you play.
Pokemon XY was the first Pokemon game for the 3DS, and saw a transformation from the pixel art of BW2 to 3D models, as well as the introduction of elements that are still carried over to the latest games, such as changes to the training facility’s specifications.
Train Pokémon in preparation for Pokémon HOME compatibility.
Once Pokémon HOME is enabled, you’ll be able to transfer Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet to Legends: Z-A. Shiny Mega Evolutions like Mega Gardvoir and Mega Gengar are highly popular and confirmed to return, so consider preparing by breeding or catching them for use in Z-A.
Buy a Nintendo Switch 2.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A can be played on the Switch1, but you may experience lag or miss out on high-quality visuals and Switch 2 exclusive features. Given the current shortage, we strongly recommend securing a Nintendo Switch 2.
