The best Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Season 2 Ranked Battles
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A while back, we wrote a guide on the worst Pokemon to use in online ranked battles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. As helpful as that knowledge is, it doesn’t actually help you score wins against other trainers, so this time we’re talking about the strongest Pokemon you can possibly use in competitive battles. This also assumes they’re fully EV and IV trained, which thankfully is fairly simple to do in this game.

The worst Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been out for a little while now, and players are starting to get involved in the game’s competitive scene. It looks much different than the turn-based combat of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – namely, Speed isn’t as important in the real-time battle system, which means Pokemon like Metagross, Excadrill, and Gyarados all rule the game at the moment. Even so, there are plenty of Pokemon that just don’t make the cut. Winning with these Pokemon online would be a real challenge!
