Live the life of a Pokémon Trainerin the streets of Lumiose City
♦ Welcome to Lumiose City
The adventure takes place in Lumiose City, a major metropolis in the Kalos region—a location that also appeared in “Pokémon X” and “Pokémon Y”.
Wild zones
The city has been outfitted with “wild zones” in an effort to help humans and Pokémon share the city. They contain all kinds of Pokémon to catch and battle!
Pick your partner
Choose Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile as your first partner Pokémon, and then set off on a grand adventure!
♦ Rise through the ranks of the Z-A Royale
You’re invited to join the Z-A Royale, a competition for Pokémon Trainers to test their skills and determine who’s strongest.
Each night, a battle zone for the competition will appear. Prepare yourself by spending the day in wild zones, catching and training Pokémon, then venture into the battle zone and take on other Trainers.
♦ Catch, battle, and Mega Evolve—all in real time!
Step onto the battlefield and command your Pokémon directly—there are no turns! For the first time in the Pokémon RPG series, Trainers and their Pokémon can both move around in real-time battles, and your Pokémon will unleash their moves when you tell them to. Strategically swapping out your Pokémon and accounting for each move’s timing and area of effect will greatly help you in this new style of battle.
♦ Harness the power of Mega Evolution
When Trainers have a strong bond with their Pokémon, a Key Stone worn by the Trainer resonates with a Mega Stone held by their Pokémon, allowing Mega Evolution to take place.
