Summary
Following the extended trailer forPokemon Legends: Z-A, one trainer took it upon themselves to compile a handy graphic of all the confirmed and speculative creatures that will appear in the highly-anticipated game. Based on available knowledge,Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill feature returning critters from the first six game generations, with the bulk of them first appearing inPokemon X and Y.
Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill take players back to Lumiose City, the Paris-inspired hub of the Kalos region. As trainers help with the transformation of Lumiose into a technological haven for people and Pokemon to coexist, they will also capture and battle with different Pokemon throughout the city.Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill also allow different creatures to learn moves that were previously unavailable to them. As an example, the Grass-type StarterChikorita can learn Disarming Voice, a Fairy-type attack that it cannot use in other games likePokemon Scarlet and Violet.Pokemon Legends: Z-Awill launch in late 2025, though a definitive release date remains unknown.
After going through the extended trailer and other available pieces of official media, a trainer posted a handy graphic detailing some of the Pokemon that players will encounter inPokemon Legends: Z-A. Reddit user DarkkHumor posted 10 slides on the r/Pokemon subreddit that went over all the Pokemon seen so far that should appear in the game, and listed them in generational order. Along with Pokemon that made cameos in the trailer, DarkkHumor also marked some evolutions as hinted or predicted Pokemon that may appear naturally. Confirmed Pokemon had a green border, and hinted Pokemon were bordered in yellow. Examples of hinted Pokemon include Bayleef, Meganium, and the Eeveelution lineup. Some Pokemon that appeared onthe Lumiose City map,including Houndoom, were also counted in DarkkHumor’s post.
