Pokemon Legends: Z-Ahas pulled the curtain back on Mega Dragonite while simultaneously confirming its early-purchase bonuses.Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill launch on October 16, and when it does, it will have a native release available for both the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2.
Pokemon Legends: Z-Aon the Switch 2 will have enhanced performance, but otherwise the content between the two versions of the game should be identical. As far as what fans can expect,Pokemon Legends: Z-Atakes place in theKalos region’s Lumiose Cityand features a similar gameplay structure as its predecessor,Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but with a revamped battle system and the return of Mega Evolutions.
Pokemon Legends: Z-Ahas yet to reveal all thenew Mega Evolutionsthat will be featured in the game come October 16, but the latest trailer for the game showcased what Mega Dragonite will look like. As it so happens, Mega Dragonite inPokemon Legends: Z-Alooks very similar to what the leaks described. It has feathery wings coming out of its head and shoulders, along with a larger, glowing tail, giving it features that resemble Dragonair. The same leaks have revealed even more new Mega Evolutions set to debut inPokemon Legends: Z-A, but they were not featured in the trailer.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dragonite and Pre-Order Bonuses
The trailer did show off two early-purchase/pre-order bonuses that will be available toPokemon Legends: Z-Aearly adopters. As long as one purchasesPokemon Legends: Z-Aand redeems the gifts by August 01, 2025, they will get a Ralts holding a Gardevoirite stone. If players manage to evolve Ralts into Kirlia and then to Gardevoir, they can use the stone to getMega Gardevoir. Those that pick up the digital version of the game can also get a gift of 100 Poke Balls. They will have to claim the serial code by February 28, but they have until July 08, 2025 to redeem it.
Having a digital-exclusive early-purchase bonus might ruffle some feathers, but overall, it seems likePokemon Legends: Z-Afans are excited after the latest trailer. While it didn’t show all that much, finally seeing Mega Dragonite is a treat, and it saves most of the new Mega Evolutions to be revealed within the game itself - barring any other trailers between now and then, of course. In any case,Pokemon Legends: Z-Ais shaping up to be a worthy successortoArceus, andPokemonfans will see how it stacks up when the game launches on October 16.
