Pokémon Legends: Z-A, released last month for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, has received a version update to 1.0.2. This changes the requirement to receive certain online Ranked Battles rewards and also provides a fix for some bugs that were identified.
Get Mega Stone rewards more easily in Ranked Battle Seasons
The Mega Stones for Greninja, Delphox and Chesnaught are locked behind participation in online Ranked Battles, but starting with Season 2, players will only need to achieve Rank S (down from Rank K) to receive the Mega Stone. In addition, Season 2 will provide a second chance to get Greninjite if players simply achieve Rank Y. Season 2 will run from November 6th 2025 at 06:00 UTC until November 26th at 05:59 UTC.
They have also promised that Mega Stone rewards would continue to be reissued frequently in future online seasons.
In addition, to prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
Patched bugs
The following issues will be resolved with this update:
- If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
- In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
- In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
- Other minor issues have also been fixed.
