Pokémon Legends Z-A Features New Trailer At Pokémon Presents

Image

In other Pokémon Legends: Z-A news, a brand-new trailer was unveiled during the Pokémon Presents broadcast featuring footage of intense Pokémon battles, new evolutions, and gameplay mechanics never before seen in other mainline Pokémon games! Go head-to-head with Lumiose locals through the Z-A Royale, a Pokémon battle royale that will have players climbing from Rank Z to A to face off against even stronger Pokémon trainers.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A also marks the debut of the highly anticipated Mega Dragonite! While Mega Dragonite was the only new Mega Evolution revealed in the trailer, the looming conflict in Lumiose City might just bring us more Mega Evolutions. In the trailer, players were seen battling wild Mega Evolutions "gone rogue." To stop the wild Pokémon from wreaking havoc, it will be up to the players and the rest of Team MZ to quell their anger in fierce battles between Mega Evolutions.

For players who need a break from the Z-A Royale and the threat of rogue Mega Evolutions, Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be introducing more elaborate customization options, allowing trainers and their Pokémon to strut around Lumiose City in style. Various side quests will also be scattered throughout the city for players to find. Rake in more rewards and make the most out of your Lumiose City experience by interacting with the many locals!

Image

Last but not least, the Pokémon Research Lab will have an even bigger role to play in your journey to becoming the top dog of the Z-A Royale. Mable, the acting director of Lumiose City’s Pokémon Research Lab, will be enlisting your help for her research. Catch different Pokémon found in Lumiose City and receive a wealth of rewards in exchange, such as Technical Machines (TMs) and Hidden Machines (HMs) to make your Pokémon even stronger.
