Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC Announced

Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Legends Z-A will receive paid downloadable content called Mega Dimension, news that was shared in today’s Nintendo Direct presentation.

The new downloadable content will allow Trainers to continue their story with Team MZ after completing the main story of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

The Mischief Pokémon, Hoopa, seems to hold the key to Mega Dimension’s story. This Mythical Pokémon can warp space using the rings on its horns and around its body. These loops are stretchable and can form holes inside them, leading to far-off places. Spatial distortions have also appeared in Lumiose, giving fans even more to discover throughout the city.

Two newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y, have been revealed. Mega Raichu X floats using electromagnetism, concentrating electricity into its fists to land devastating blows. Mega Raichu Y strikes foes swiftly with the amplified electric power coursing through its body. Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y each require a different Mega Stone to Mega Evolve, and both can be encountered in Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension.

Set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place where humans and Pokémon can co-exist, in Pokémon Legends Z-A you will have the chance to befriend either Chikorita, Tepig or Totodile, who will become your first partner Pokémon.

Pokémon Legends Z-A will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 16 October 2025. Pre-orders have opened on the My Nintendo Store, with the retailer offering physical pre-order bonuses.
