Pokémon Legends: Z-A Pokédex - Every Confirmed Pokémon So Far

With a return to Kalos and Lumiose City coming in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, that means we'll have another set of Pocket Monsters to catch and collect.

With the game set to launch in late 2025, we've been keeping an eye on all of the trailers and promotional material for the game to round up every single Pokémon coming to Legends: Z-A. We've only included Pokémon that have actually appeared, so while some evolutions might be missing, it's because we haven't actually seen them yet.

Here's every confirmed Pokémon you'll be able to catch in Legends: Z-A including the starter Pokémon, all Mega Evolutions, and any new or returning regional forms.

Every Confirmed Pokémon in Legends: Z-A Trailers

The Starter Pokémon

We've got our confirmed Starter Trio for our second trip to Lumiose City! Gold & Silver fans are probably delighted, as two of the three are from the Johto region.

At the start of the game, you'll be able to pick from Chikorita, Tepig (from Black & White), or Totodile. Not a bad little selection.

Will they have new forms like the trio in Legends: Arceus had? We have no idea at the moment, but we hope so. We'd love to see Chikorita get some much-needed love in particular.

Gen 1 Pokémon (Red, Blue, Yellow)

Being the first Generation, you'll always expect to see a bunch of returning 'mons from the Kanto region. Z-A is no exception.

But there aren't as many as you might think this early on. We've seen a few of the obvious ones — Pikachu and Raichu, Magikarp and Gyarados, Charizard, and the Eeveelutions — but there are many, many more that could make an appearance.

Gen 2 Pokémon (Gold, Silver, Crystal)

Generation 2 is one of the most popular Gens in the Pokémon franchise, and you can see that right out of the gate with the starters.

Chikorita and Totodile may well be the headliners here, but there are a couple of other returners that we're happy to see. Of course, with Eevee here, Umbreon and Espeon were a given. But the Mareep line is back in its full glory. Both Flaaffy and Ampharos can be found in the trailers, while Mareep can be spotted on the official Z-A website.

Gen 3 Pokémon (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald)

Hoenn is home to many tropical-themed 'mons, so we're not sure how many of Ruby & Sapphire's finest will make their way to the hustle and bustle of city life. But we've seen a few.

Of course, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, remakes of gen 3, launched during Generation 6 — where Mega Evolution was introduced — so many of the Pocket monsters from Hoenn already have Megas. We have a hunch more of those will be coming back. Roselia is a given, seeing as Budew is back (see the next section), but who else?

Gen 4 Pokémon (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum)

Sinnoh — oh, wait, sorry, Hisui — was the home to the previous Legends game, Arceus. As such, we saw a lot of Gen 4 Pokémon making an appearance there.

It's still early, but Diamond & Pearl's selection is a little slim to start things off. But perhaps some of the best are yet to come. And because of the other Eeveelutions, there's no way we're not seeing Leafeon alongside Glaceon, right?

Gen 5 Pokémon (Black & White)

The generation everyone is convinced will be remade one day, Gen 5 actually gets a starter rep here thanks to Tepig, so Fire/Fighting fans will be satisfied. Maybe. Unless Emboar has a new career path.

Unova's managed to sneak in a few popular Pokémon to this new look Lumiose, including the Sandile line (Krokorok has been confirmed thanks to the official website, and Krookodile is in your trainer's team during a battle) and Chandelure. We haven't seen the other Ghost-type 'mons yet, but they'll be there, surely.

Patrat too, for some reason. We're sure Patrat has fans. Sorry.

Gen 6 Pokémon (X & Y)

As you'd expect, the Kalos region's native Pokémon make up a huge number of the roster for Legends: Z-A. And we saw lots of them in the new trailers.

None of the starters have made it — yet, at least — but we do have multiple fan favourites. Skiddo, Aegislash, Talonflame, Sylveon, Florges, Goomy, Litleo, and many more. This will probably be the most represented gen when the full Z-A Pokédex is out there.

Gen 7, 8, and 9 Pokémon (Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, Scarlet & Violet)

Right now, we have no confirmed Pokémon from the three most recent generations. Give it time, and we're sure we'll get a handful.

After all, Duraladon (from Galar) would absolutely fit in a cityscape, right? We all need a walking Dragon-type skyscraper in our cities.

All Mega Evolutions

Mega Evolutions are back! And in the February 2025 trailer, we got our first look at them.

While no new Megas have been confirmed yet, plenty of returning favourites are making a comeback. Here are all of the Mega Evolutions we've seen so far.

That's every confirmed Pokémon in Z-A that we know for now! We'll be updating this guide when we find out more, but if you think we've missed anyone, let us know in the comments down below.
