Pokémon Legends: Z-A continues to reward dedicated trainers with fresh content, as a new Mystery Gift event introduces Mega Garchomp Z—a powerful evolution available exclusively to owners of the Mega Dimension DLC.
Developed by the acclaimed Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, Pokémon Legends: Z-A has made waves on the Nintendo Switch and the eShop since its release, consistently engaging fans through regular content updates and special distribution events. For players eager to enhance their battle teams, Mega Garchomp Z makes its debut as part of this post-launch campaign.
Although Garchomp, the Generation IV fan favorite, already boasts a Mega Evolution, this new form revitalizes the dragon with significant changes.
Unlike the original, Mega Garchomp Z drops its dual Dragon/Ground typing to adopt a pure Dragon-type identity, improving its speed and granting it a perpetual hovering stance.
These strategic adjustments aim to challenge even seasoned trainers and bring new tactics to competitive play within Pokémon Legends: Z-A. To embark on this event, Nintendo Switch players must first secure the Mega Dimension DLC, granting access to the exclusive Mega Garchomp Z variant.
Upon claiming the associated Mystery Gift, trainers receive an in-game prompt to enter a hidden hyperspace dimension.
Here, they are tasked with defeating Mega Garchomp Z in battle, at which point the coveted Garchompite Z Mega Stone can be obtained.
The encounter is designed to test players’ skills, requiring careful team assembly and strategic planning integral to the core Pokémon experience. Players who attempt to participate in the event without the Mega Dimension DLC will only see a notification stating: “Meet the conditions to find a pocket of hyperspace where you can obtain a Garchompite Z stone,” emphasizing the requirement for DLC access to proceed.
Mega Garchomp Z’s introduction follows previous Mystery Gift Mega Evolutions such as Mega Mewtwo Z and Mega Diancie, both of which were made accessible to all players irrespective of additional content purchases.
It’s worth noting that while the Mega Dimension DLC expands gameplay and collectible opportunities, it has received mixed feedback regarding its level of challenge and repetitive elements. With Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s growing roster of exclusive content for the Nintendo Switch, Game Freak and The Pokémon Company continue to foster an active community through in-game events and DLC enhancements.
For trainers ready to take on this latest challenge or those considering a return to the sprawling world of Z-A, Mega Garchomp Z stands as both an incentive and a formidable opponent.
