The Pokémon Company, in collaboration with Nintendo, revealed new details for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game during today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, debuting a new trailer that introduces the high-stakes Z-A Royale competition.
When night falls in Lumiose City, a battle zone with red borders made from cutting-edge holographic technology will appear somewhere within the city. Trainers compete in these battle zones from dusk until dawn as part of the Z-A Royale, a fierce competition where participants start at Rank Z and battle their way toward Rank A. Only the strongest will claim the top rank, and those who reach Rank A may even have one in-game wish granted. As players navigate the competition, they’ll encounter other competitors and friends who will test their skills, like either Urbain or Taunie.
During the day, Trainers can explore wild zones to catch and train Pokémon in preparation for upcoming battles at night. While the battle zone is active, timing and strategy are key, as landing surprise attacks can provide a critical advantage and escaping higher-ranked opponents may sometimes be necessary. To succeed in the Z-A Royale, players must make the most of both day and night, strengthening their teams for any challenges that await in Lumiose City.
