Good news for Pokémon fans! If you’ve been waiting to pre-order or purchase Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Walmart has restocked its exclusive mystery pin bundle for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. While supplies last, you’ll receive a free partner Pokémon enamel pin with your game. Plus, Walmart is offering Pokémon Legends: Z-A for just $69, a dollar less than the standard retail price.
Each bundle includes a surprise enamel pin featuring one of the three partner Pokémon—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—or the official Pokémon Legends: Z-A logo. This special offer originally launched on July 22nd and quickly sold out for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch versions. As of October 30th, the Nintendo Switch edition with the mystery pin remains unavailable, making the Switch 2 restock particularly exciting.
For those who enjoyed its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: Arceus (released in 2022 to critical acclaim) is available for $53 from major retailers. Enhance your Pokémon Legends: Z-A experience with themed accessories! The officially licensed Pikachu Vortex Enhanced Wireless Controller by PowerA, compatible with both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch via Bluetooth, is currently available at a discounted price of $30 (originally $60). PowerA also recently launched a Pokémon Mega Evolutions Edition of their Advantage Wireless Controller for $70. This controller is notable as the first third-party wireless model to include the new C button for GameChat and boasts advanced features like anti-drift Hall Effect sticks.
Dive Into Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Key Features
The latest entry in the Pokémon Legends series transports players back to the beloved Kalos region, first seen in Pokémon X and Y for the 3DS. Get ready for a vibrant shift in scenery, as the sprawling metropolitan landscape of Lumiose City replaces the wild, open areas of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Your journey will begin by choosing one of three classic partner Pokémon: Chikorita, Totodile, or Tepig. The intuitive Pokémon catching system introduced in Arceus makes a welcome return, allowing you to capture wild Pokémon without initiating a battle every time.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces a significant evolution to the series’ combat. The traditional turn-based battles are replaced by a dynamic, strategic real-time system. You and your partner Pokémon can freely move within a designated battle arena, with positioning and precise timing being crucial for both offensive and defensive maneuvers, including executing dodges.
Adding to the excitement, a fan-favorite mechanic makes a grand return after a long hiatus: Mega Evolutions! Last featured in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee in 2018, Mega Evolutions temporarily transform your partner Pokémon into incredibly powerful versions with altered appearances. However, this power-up is exclusive to specific Pokémon species and requires a special Mega Ring and a Pokémon-specific Mega Stone to activate.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC
During a recent Nintendo Direct in September, a paid downloadable content (DLC) expansion for Pokémon Legends: Z-A was unveiled, titled Mega Dimension.

The storyline delves deep into the lore of Mega Evolutions, featuring Raichu prominently with not just one, but two unique Mega Evolutions. Beyond the new narrative, the Mega Dimensions DLC also includes exclusive Raichu-themed Holo-X and Holo-Y Mega Evolution apparel, ready for immediate use in the game.
