Pokemon Legends Z-A Zeraora Location Guide

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 bossĀ andĀ 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.

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!

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.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A 2.0.0 update

Pokemon Legends: Z-A just released its Mega Evolution DLC, and a bunch of additional Mega Evolutions are now introduced. If you’re wondering how to get them all, we have you covered with a helpful list.

Many Mega Evolutions can be obtained simply by going through the story. However, others are split up between sidequests, the post game, Hyperspace Portals, and future events.

The full roundup is as follows:

Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Raichu X and Y Locations

Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC is out now, and of course it introduces a whole bunch of brand-new Mega Evolutions. But we already know about Mega Raichu X and Y, and in the interest of not spoiling the new Mega Evolutions, we’re starting out our guide coverage with how to get the Raichunite X and Raichunite Y items. In order to access the associated side quest, you’ll need to play through the game until a side mission wormhole appears within in the shopping district at the very north-middle end of Lumiose City. You’ll also need to have completed Side Missions #2 and #108, which require that you trade NPCs a Pikachu and a Raichu, respectively.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A 2.0.0 update

A new version 2.0.0 update has been announced for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The patch will soon be live on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

As expected, the update is primarily focused on support for the Mega Dimension DLC. As part of that, new Pokemon that have been added can be accessed by everyone – though if you don’t have the DLC, they can be obtained through communication features.

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

Alpha Charizard Mystery Gift distribution Pokemon Legends Z-A

A new Mystery Gift distribution has just gone live in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which grants players Alpha Charizard. This comes in celebration of the game’s new Mega Dimension DLC.

Solar Beam, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, and Air Slash are the featured moves here. It’s at level 36, has the Solar Power ability, and comes in a Cherish Ball.

For those looking to get their hands on Alpha Charizard, follow the steps below:

Pokemon Legends Z-A Mystery Gift item distribution

We have a heads up for Pokemon Legends: Z-A players, as the game is now making a new Mystery Gift distribution available. It can be claimed on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.

After redeeming a specific code, you’ll receive five Max Revives, ten Full Restores, and ten Ultra Balls. Nintendo provided the code in a newsletter, which is intended to help players prepare for the upcoming Mega Dimension DLC.

Follow these steps to claim today’s distribution:

Pokemon Legends Z-A Mewtwonite X and Y Mega Stones, Project M side mission

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has just started a new distribution, which provides Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y Mega Stones plus access to a new Project M side mission.

You’ll want to head on over to Mystery Gift and select the “Receive via Internet” option. Things can start from there, but keep in mind that you’ll need to have completed the main story for the event to begin.

Mega Lucario Z

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.
