Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a 2025 action role-playing game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Part of the ninth generation of Pokémon video games, it is a sequel to the sixth-generation titles Pokémon X and Y (2013) and the second entry in the Pokémon Legends sub-series, following Pokémon Legends: Arceus (2022). The game takes place entirely in the Kalos region's Lumiose City, five years after the events of X and Y.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A was announced in February 2024 as an exclusive to the original Switch console, before it was later announced that it would also receive an enhanced port for the Switch 2. It was released on 16 October 2025, to generally positive reviews. Critics praised the battle system, but found the city setting to be visually restricting. Paid downloadable content, Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension, was announced on 12 September 2025, and was released on 10 December 2025.
