Battle Mechanics

In Pokémon Legends Z-A, the battles are different to the traditional battles. Here, the Pokémon will move around the field and can avoid attacks. Each attack will have a different range requiring your Pokémon to get up close or keep distance, and Pokémon can dodge moves

You also have the ability to switch your Pokémon in at will allowing for you to change up how you fare in the battle.

With moves, you will be able to teach them in the usual ways including level up and through TMs. However, the moves are much different to how they were in previous Pokémon games. Rather than having PP and accuracy, the moves now have a cooldown time .

With some select Pokémon, if they are holding the Mega Stone, you will be able to Mega Evolve them. This features different mechanics to past games with the Mega Evolution symbol having four different segments after activation.
