Pokémon Legends: Z-A is set to renew its appeal to trainers worldwide with the release of the Mega Dimension DLC on December 10th, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Developed by The Pokémon Company, this expansion delves deeper into Lumiose City, introducing new challenges and dynamic content for longtime Pokémon fans.
While anticipation mounts for the latest Mega Evolutions and gameplay enhancements, a significant highlight has emerged: the return of three iconic Mega Stones—Sceptilite, Blazikenite, and Swampertite. In an announcement made ahead of the DLC launch, The Pokémon Company confirmed that these coveted Mega Stones, used to unlock the Mega Evolutions of Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert, will be awarded via the Z-A Battle Club’s Ranked Battles feature.
This system closely mirrors how players previously obtained the Kalos trio’s stones, emphasizing competitive play over direct purchase or traditional in-game discovery.
Notably, participation in Ranked Battles requires an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, reinforcing the platform's focus on online engagement and player-versus-player strategy. Each stone will be distributed over consecutive seasons of Z-A Battle Club’s Ranked Battles: Sceptilite in Season 5, Swampertite in Season 6, and Blazikenite in Season 7.
Importantly, securing these Mega Stones does not require ownership of the Mega Dimension DLC itself—a departure from some previous promotional distributions.
However, players will encounter these Pokémon and their Mega Evolutions within the DLC’s new narrative and battle environments, enhancing the competitive landscape for both seasoned and returning trainers. The official start dates for each upcoming Ranked Battle season have not been disclosed.
Trainers are advised to monitor Pokémon Company updates to ensure they do not miss the opportunity to earn these exclusive items.
In a parallel announcement, a new Alpha Charizard will also be available through a Mystery Gift code, offering another powerful option for players looking to diversify their Mega Evolution lineup. Pokémon Legends: Z-A and its Mega Dimension DLC continue to build on Nintendo’s rich legacy for supporting competitive and community-driven experiences on the Nintendo Switch.
As the promise of new Mega Evolutions and online battles draws closer, trainers are encouraged to prepare their teams and subscriptions for one of the franchise’s most anticipated multiplayer updates. Stay tuned for more official updates regarding dates and additional features.
In the meantime, trainers eager to expand their Mega Evolution arsenal should keep an eye on upcoming battle seasons and the eShop for further announcements.
