Pokemon Legends: Z-A Adds Diancite Stone Mystery Gift and Extra Side Mission on Nintendo Switch

The latest update for Pokemon Legends: Z-A has arrived, offering fans a fresh incentive to continue exploring the vibrant world on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

Developed by Game Freak, Pokemon Legends: Z-A expands on the renowned gameplay and narrative depth the series is known for, and today’s free content drop introduces a highly anticipated feature: the Diancite Stone Mystery Gift and a brand-new side mission. The special Diancite Stone, now available to all Pokemon Legends: Z-A players via the Mystery Gift feature, unlocks access to the sought-after Jewel Pokemon, Diancie.

Once players have claimed the Diancite, they can head to the Looker Bureau, where Mimi the Espurr expresses keen interest in the newly acquired Mega Stone.

This encounter triggers the extra side mission, aptly titled “Shine Bright like a Gemstone,” offering players a chance to engage in a unique storyline centered around Diancie. Upon successful completion of the extra side mission, trainers can add Diancie to their team.

Additionally, the Diancite stone enables Diancie's Mega Evolution, allowing it to transform into the dazzling Mega Diancie during battles.

The Mega Evolution feature enhances the gameplay experience through visually stunning transformations and new battle strategies.

According to a recent statement from Game Freak, this update is designed to "reward dedicated trainers with exclusive opportunities for discovery and strategic play." Pokemon Legends: Z-A originally launched for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, quickly establishing itself as a must-have RPG title on the popular platforms.

The game has continued to engage its dedicated community with frequent updates, fresh content drops, and special events delivered through the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Direct presentations. Fans interested in previewing the latest additions can view the new trailer highlighting the Diancite Stone Mystery Gift and Diancie-focused mission, which demonstrates the powerful Mega Diancie in action and previews the distinctive “Shine Bright like a Gemstone” storyline.

This update arrives on the heels of newly released details about the game’s upcoming downloadable content (DLC), ensuring there’s never been a better time to revisit the world of Pokemon Legends: Z-A on both Nintendo Switch and the advanced Nintendo Switch 2.
