How to get Zeraora in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension
Posted on 18 hours ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Given the prominent marketing of Mega Zeraora leading up to the release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, we think it’s safe to assume that the player would have the opportunity to catch Zeraora at some point. Indeed, that is exactly the case here – and interestingly, this is the very first time players are able to catch a Zeraora with their own OT plus any Poke Ball they want. Up until now, it’s been exclusive to events. In order to catch Zeraora, you’ll need to beat Mega Dimension’s final boss and do something else in the postgame. We’ll describe what that is in just a moment, but for now, you may want to bookmark this page and come back later if you’re looking to avoid story spoilers.

10 Pokemon who need Mega Evolutions
Posted on 2 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mega Evolutions are a hot topic at the moment thanks to Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and we’ve picked out 10 creatures that we feel deserve that form.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC is available now, and it introduced a whole bunch of new Mega Evolutions along with it. If we had to guess, that means we probably won’t be seeing any all-new Mega Evolutions for a very long time, which clearly means it’s as good a time as any to name a few Pokemon who could still one for themselves.
Pokemon like Mawile, Malamar, Delphox, and Diancie all really needed it – they weren’t very strong in their base forms. So for the sake of this list, we’re only picking weaker Pokemon. That means you won’t see any pseudo-legendary Pokemon like Kommo-o or Dragapult on this list – they’re already plenty strong. Do note that this list excludes all of the Pokemon who received new Mega Evolutions in Mega Dimension, so if you’re trying to remain unspoiled on who they are, a few noteworthy exclusions on this list may give you a small clue. Keep that in mind before you start reading!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension review
Posted on 4 days ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: December 9, 2025
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
To differing extents, every new Pokemon release is met with some level of scrutiny. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this scrutiny was completely understandable – the game launched in a buggy, laggy state, and it remains that way on standard Nintendo Switch consoles. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s launch generally went over much smoother with hardcore Pokemon fans. While it isn’t perfect by any means (check out my review for more info), it’s a solid entry that will no doubt please anyone who enjoyed Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has received its corresponding DLC pack just two months after launch. And it’s very easy to sum up: if you liked Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game, you’ll like the DLC. If you didn’t care much for the base game, Mega Dimension won’t win you over.

Mega Lucario Z revealed for Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in the brand new Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it’s been revealed.
According to The Pokemon Company, “Mega Lucario Z was determined to be a Mega Evolution based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario.” It features long fur around the head and waist along with a fan-shaped tail. Since this makes it difficult to get a full view of Mega Lucario Z’s powerful movements, in close combat, it can visually disorient opponents. Additionally, places on its body such as the hands and shins have been hardened with steel energy.
