Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur Pokemon Legends Z-A

Pokemon Legends: Z-A just revealed the latest information about its Mega Dimension DLC, including the reveals of Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur plus a release date. The DLC is due out on December 10, 2025.

For Mega Chimecho, when it Mega Evolves, “six smaller copies appear and flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing.” It also has cries in which “the echoes of its copies overlap and resonate, creating an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.”

Baxcalibur, meanwhile, has more ice energy with its Mega Evolution and uses a back blade that has grown larger and more powerful. The blade “can cleave or smash nearly anything in its path.” Baxcalibur Mega Stone is available from the Z-A Battle Club as a reward for advancing in online Ranked Battles.

Here’s some other information about the DLC:

Pokemon Legends Z-A 1.0.2 update

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.

We previously heard about plans for the game. Aside from fixing bugs, Game Freak has made some adjustments to Ranked Battles. 

The full rundown is as follows:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Hydreigon Tera Raid

The latest Tera Raid Battle event for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet has now been revealed.

This time around, Hydreigon will be featured with the Poison Tera Type. It has the Mightiest Mark and can be caught once per save file. Note that it will show up in 7 Star Raids.

We have the latest news about Pokemon Legends: Z-A, with The Pokemon Company confirming two issues detected with the game and providing information about upcoming adjustments for Ranked Battles with Season 2, which involves Mega Stones.

Currently two bugs have been identified. A patch is already in the works, which will fix things when it releases in November. Here’s what’s been shared:

Pokemon Legends Z-A Shiny Charm 1000 battles

We’re back today with another guide on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time covering how to quickly reach the 1000 battles needed for the Shiny Charm.

Getting the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is fairly simple: complete all of Mable’s research tasks. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, though – many of these research tasks are purposefully repetitive to prevent you from getting the coveted Shiny Charm too early. These are all self-explanatory for the most part; many of the tasks will have you catching Pokemon of a certain type until you’ve caught 50 of every type in the game. The final task most players will need to complete is to win 1000 trainer battles, which as you might expect, takes a very long time. We’ve compiled a list of tips that will hopefully make those 1000 battles pass faster.

We’re continuing to receive more information about the launch sales of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and this time a report is in for the United States.

Based on Circana tracking, Pokemon Legends: Z-A had the highest launch week sales for a physical video game release since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in 2023. This is for both physical units and dollar sales.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A seems to be off to a solid start in terms of worldwide sales, but in Europe specifically, things are on the slower side.

We’re hearing that the game’s launch sales are 28 percent lower than Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Z-A had the lowest debut for a mainline entry since Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eveee in 2018.

Pokemon Legends Z-A shiny duplication glitch

A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.

Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other. That’s because if you trade one away and keep one, they are not treated as clones. Pokemon Home has a clone check system.

Below are the steps for the Shiny Pokemon duplication glitch in Pokemon Legends: Z-A:

Another sales report is in for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time detailing how the game performed in Spain during its first week.

Let’s get straight to the numbers. Between October 13 and October 19, Pokemon Legends: Z-A sold 89,000 physical units at retail. This was split between 53,000 copies on Nintendo Switch and another 36,000 on Switch 2.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Zygarde location guide

We’ve sharing another Pokemon Legends: Z-A location guide, this time for Zygarde.

It’s been over a week since the release of the game, and we assume some of you might be wondering how to catch Zygarde, the game’s titular Legendary Pokemon. As you might expect, Zygarde is the final Legendary Pokemon available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and you’ll need to clear the main story in order to access it. It’s a guaranteed capture, though, which means you can use any Poke Ball you want with no chance of failure. It also means you definitely shouldn’t use a Master Ball.
