The Pokémon Company is pleased to share the following news about the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the Nintendo Switch 2 software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, as well as the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC.

New Video Released for Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

A video showcasing the latest information about Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is now available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel. Please check out the reveal trailer: Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension | Mega Lucario Z online.

Mega Lucario Z, a Mega Evolution of the Aura Pokémon Lucario, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

It was determined to be a Mega Evolution rather than a regular Evolution, based on how its form changes through exposure to a Mega Stone and its increase in power far outshining that of an average Lucario. It is called Mega Lucario Z in order to differentiate it from the previously discovered Mega Lucario.

Introducing Z Mega Evolution

While Mega Lucario, the Mega Evolution of Lucario, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the newly discovered Mega Lucario Z will be appearing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.

Z Mega Evolutions, such as Mega Lucario Z, need less time to fire off moves after receiving an order. But Z Mega Evolutions also burn through Mega Power very quickly, making them less suited for long battles, so Trainers must try to settle matches as fast as possible!

Mewtwo’s extra side mission is now available

Obtain the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo as well as Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y.

Starting December 2, 2025, Trainers can receive a Mewtwonite X stone and a Mewtwonite Y stone through the Mystery Gifts feature in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Mewtwo’s extra side mission will become available.

If Trainers beat this mission, they will be able to add the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo to their team. Trainers can use the Mega Stones you get through the Mystery Gift feature to Mega Evolve Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y.

Notes: In order to play Mewtwo’s extra side mission, Trainers will need to have completed the main story of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A or Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game.

If Trainers have Mewtwo hold a Mewtwonite X stone, it will be able to mega evolve into Mega Mewtwo X. If Trainers have it hold a Mewtwonite Y stone, it will be able to mega evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

How to play Mewtwo’s extra side mission

In order to play Mewtwo’s extra side mission, Trainers will need to claim a Mewtwonite X stone and Mewtwonite Y stone in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Trainers may check whether they have claimed these Mega Stones from their satchel’s Mega Stones pocket.

1. Claim your Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y stones

Trainers can receive these gifts by selecting Get via Internet from the Mystery Gift menu in their game.

2. Head to Lysandre Café

Once the Trainers claimed their Mewtwonite X and Mewtwonite Y stones, they should try heading to Lysandre Café. It seems that some systems will reactivate in response to the Mega Stones if they venture into the deepest areas of Lysandre Labs.

Trainers can play Mewtwo’s extra side mission in both Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Trainers will need to connect their Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 system to the internet.

To connect to the internet, the Trainers’ user profile must be linked to a Nintendo Account. It takes approximately one hour of playtime before the Trainers are able to access the Mystery Gift feature. Mewtwonite Y and Mewtwonite X stones can be received in either the physical version or the digital version.
