Pokémon Legends Z-A Battle Club Details
Pokémon Legends Z-A is set to be released in two months, and we’re getting another look at one of the features that Trainers can look forward to using, the Z-A Battle Club. In the Z-A Battle Club, Trainers will be able to take part in new ways to Link Trade and Battle, In the Z-A Battle Club (Link Battles), up to four players will race to defeat as many Pokémon as possible within the time limit to take the top spot. Ranked Battles return, Trainers can take part (must have a Nintendo Online Membership), and Battle online from around the world to earn points. When players earn enough points, they will rise in rank. Trainers will start at Rank Z and can be promoted up to the ultimate Rank A. Players can also earn in-game rewards when a battle ends or their rank increases, with additional rewards granted based on their final rank when the season ends after a set period. Since rewards vary by season, active participation is necessary to climb the ranks and earn rewards. Players will also be able to enjoy Private Battles with their friends using local communication or with those farther away online.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be available on Oct. 16, 2025, on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems. A Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition bundle will also be available.
