Pokemon Legends Z-A pre-order bonus

Most Pokemon games tend to have pre-order bonuses, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A is no stranger to that. Retailers are now starting to come forward with different items that it’ll have on hand, and we’ll be rounding up everything in this post.

As a reminder, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the second “Legends” game following Arceus. This time around, we’re visiting the main setting of Pokemon X and Y, which is Lumiose City. Players can choose Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as their first partner Pokemon and head off on a journey in which they’ll visit all manner of sights in the streets arrayed around Prism Tower, including shops, restaurants, and places called wild zones. Mega Evolutions are also back and are introducing new transformations, including Mega Dragonite.

Pokemon Legends Z-A moves items

Thanks to a datamine, new Pokemon Legends: Z-A information is available revealing included and cut moves as well as all items.

How is this coming to light with the game not having been released? Well, it turns out that datamining is possible with pre-loads. Pre-loads started yesterday so that players can be ready for next week’s launch. The game can be downloaded, but it won’t be active until the official launch.

In any case, Kaphotics and CentroLeaks passed along the list of moves and items for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. You can find the full roundup below.

We have another update on the Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon code distribution for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with GameStop now issuing a statement.

Fans in the United States haven’t been happy with how the distribution has been handled. After the event began at the end of September, codes were quickly taken up – and many by scalpers. As we previously mentioned, the distribution started on the same day as a new set for the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

A new Pokemon Legends: Z-A overview trailer is in, which focuses on the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Various aspects are covered, including Wild Zones, Z-A Royale, Rogue Mega Evolution, and more.

Nintendo has passed along the following information:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant Tera Raid

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players can look forward to the next Tera Raid Battle event, which features Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant.

Both will be appearing in 7 Star Raids. If you have Pokemon Scarlet, you’ll battle against Roaring Moon with the Dragon Tera Type. For Pokemon Violet, it’s Iron Valiant with the Fairy Tera Type. The creatures have the Mightiest Mark and catch be caught just once per save file.

Shiny Chi-Yu Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The latest Legendary Shiny distribution has just started in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with Shiny Chi-Yu now available in both games. This can be claimed through Mystery Gift.

Shiny Chi-Yu was previously featured in a Tera Raid Battle event. The creature was defeated one one million times (the final total was 1,891,539), which unlocked today’s distribution.

Here’s how to claim the reward:

Pokemon Home Pokemon Legends Z-A

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is confirmed for Pokemon Home support, though fans are disappointing to hear that there are significatant limitations.

There are a couple of important points to consider. First, any Pokemon you catch in Z-A can’t be brought to previous Pokemon titles (but it looks this may not apply to future games). Also, if you want to bring a Pokemon you’ve caught in an older game to Z-A, it will have to stay there forever – you can’t bring it back.

Mega Chesnaught, Mega Delphox, and Mega Greninja have all just been revealed. They will all be appearing in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

In addition to the above, new Mega Dimension DLC has been revealed for the game. This will include new story content and Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon Pokemon Scarlet Violet

For both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, a new Shiny Miraidon and Shiny Koraidon are to be made available on September 26, 2025 with a new distribution. However, these creatures will only be provided through serial codes in select retailers.

In the United States, they will be available at GameStop. In Australia, New Zealand, and Canada they will be offered  through EB Games. In Japan they will be provided at game stores across the country when you show either game on your home menu.

Here’s how you can claim the two creatures:

Mega Malamar Pokemon Legends Z-A

Another Mega Evolution reveal has just taken place for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, with the game now confirming Mega Malamar.

We’ve seen a number of other Mega Evolutions as well. Mega Dragonite was the first new one, but since then Mega Victreebel and Mega Hawlucha have also been announced.
