A new update has now been released for Pokemon Legends: Z-A with 1.0.2. This is the first patch issued since the day one update at launch.

The full rundown is as follows:

Pokemon Legends: Z-A version 1.0.2 update patch notes

Bug Fixes

• If you have not opened the box screen since the box was full before the first Mega Evolution battle, you will definitely fail to capture a Pokemon. Also, if you proceed with a side mission that allows you to obtain a Pokemon in that state, you will not be able to complete it.
• In some side missions, if the day/night change occurs at the same time that a skill is hit on a target, it will no longer be possible to hit the target with a skill, and the side mission will no longer be able to progress.
• During a trainer battle, if the opposing trainer switches Pokemon and the player simultaneously Mega Evolves, the opposing trainer will not be able to send out a Pokemon and will be unable to proceed.
• Fixed some other issues.

Ranked Battle Balance Adjustments

• Adjustment of points earned based on ranking so that points are not reduced depending on the outcome of the match.
• Some battle rewards that can be received for each battle have been added and increased.

Note that you’ll need to download this new update in order to access online features. Also, local communication is not compatible with previous versions.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is currently available on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
