Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the ambitious new installment from The Pokémon Company, continues to evolve with the launch of its latest game update, Version 2.0.1.
Now available for download on both the Nintendo Switch and the latest Switch 2 hardware, this patch targets essential improvements for players engaging with the recent Mega Dimension expansion DLC.
Released on January 21, 2026, the Mega Dimension DLC has introduced players to expansive new realms and a broadened Pokédex.
While fans have celebrated the fresh content, early adopters encountered some notable gameplay issues and limitations within the Mega Dimension content.
Responding promptly, Nintendo’s support team has deployed a comprehensive update to address these community-raised concerns. Among the most prominent adjustments in Version 2.0.1 is a significant expansion to inventory management.
Trainers can now carry up to 9,999 Mega Shards—an increase from the previous 999—giving greater flexibility for those seeking Mega Evolutions.
Further streamlining item acquisition, players will now be able to purchase multiple Berries at once from food stalls.
Additionally, after beginning the Mega Dimension DLC storyline, Berries become available for purchase from the staff at Nouveau Café’s Truck No.
3, offering improved convenience during in-game exploration. In addition to these quality-of-life improvements, the update resolves a series of technical issues that impacted gameplay in the Mega Dimension expansion: - During battles in certain hyperspace zones, a bug sometimes caused player Pokémon to face away from their intended targets.
This has now been corrected. - An unusual glitch where the in-game weather remained permanently sunny—disrupting battle dynamics—has been resolved. - Shiny Pokémon obtained before the Mega Dimension expansion previously failed to register in the Mega Evolution Pokédex, even after players acquired their respective Mega Stones.
This omission has been addressed to ensure accurate Pokédex tracking. - Visual inconsistencies, such as unrelated scene images occasionally appearing during missions, have been fixed to maintain narrative cohesion. - Players blocked in progressing side mission 188, “Start Special Scanning!”—despite reaching the maximum survey score—can now continue by entering and exiting hyperspace.
Nintendo has reiterated its commitment to delivering timely updates for its flagship titles on the eShop and via Nintendo Direct announcements, ensuring ongoing community satisfaction.
In addition to the Pokémon Legends: Z-A patch, new updates have also been rolled out today for other popular titles including Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, alongside a surprise enhancement for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD launched earlier this week. With ongoing support and player feedback guiding improvements, Pokémon Legends: Z-A maintains its position as a pillar of the Switch library.
Fans are encouraged to keep their games updated to enjoy the latest features and best gameplay experience.
