Legends Z-A battle mechanics borrows some ideas from tactics games. It mixes the traditional move-based style of main series Pokémon games while letting you choose the position of your Pokémon on the field and adding range to Pokémon moves, which essentially means you can manually dodge moves now.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A was announced during Pokémon Day 2024, exactly one year ago. Back then, it build up hype among players since many expected it would borrow or adapt the unique catch and exploration mechanics existent in Legends: Arceus, which was a massive hit on the Switch.
