Pokémon Legends Z-A Icons Now Available for Nintendo Switch Online Missions & Rewards

Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Switch Online Missions & Rewards program with a new wave of customizable icons featuring characters and elements from Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

This addition allows dedicated Pokémon fans and completionists to further personalize their Nintendo Switch user profiles in anticipation of the game's launch. The Nintendo Switch Online Missions & Rewards feature has become a staple of the platform’s engagement strategy, frequently introducing seasonal and game-specific icon sets for users to unlock with their accumulated Platinum Points.

These customizable icons provide players with a tangible way to display their fandom while interacting with the console’s online ecosystem, which includes access to retro game catalogs, multiplayer features, and exclusive store discounts. With this new offering, Switch Online subscribers can use their hard-earned Platinum Points to redeem unique Pokémon Legends: Z-A icon customizations.

Nintendo confirmed that these icons will rotate on a weekly basis, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing selection for fans to collect.

Players have until February 22, 2026, to acquire the desired icons, making timely participation essential.

A statement from Nintendo reinforces this strategy: the Pokémon Legends: Z-A icon event is set for a periodic refresh, compelling users to check back weekly and engage with the platform's missions to maximize their Platinum Points and redemption opportunities.

In the words of a company spokesperson (paraphrased for clarity), Nintendo is committed to offering engaging rewards for its online subscribers, and the rotating Pokémon Legends: Z-A icons are a key example of that ongoing initiative. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Pokémon Legends: Arceus, builds on Game Freak’s legacy of innovative gameplay within the Pokémon universe.

Set for release exclusively on Nintendo Switch, the title has generated significant anticipation among both Pokémon enthusiasts and Switch owners.

While the game itself is not yet available, the early arrival of themed iconography on the Nintendo Switch Online platform demonstrates Nintendo’s commitment to cross-promotional initiatives and community engagement in the run-up to major game launches. To participate, Nintendo Switch Online members need only log into their accounts, navigate to the Missions & Rewards section, and browse the available Pokémon Legends: Z-A icon options.

By completing online missions—such as playing supported titles or exploring designated features—subscribers earn Platinum Points, which are then redeemable for these limited-time icons and other digital rewards. This ongoing campaign amplifies the value proposition of Nintendo Switch Online, encouraging users to stay active in the ecosystem and building anticipation for the full release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Be sure to visit the Nintendo Switch eShop regularly and act quickly to claim your favorite icons before the weekly rotations conclude on February 22, 2026.
