Pokemon Legends: Z-A Is Getting An Official New Update in April 2026

For those who follow the game, Season 8 of the Ranked Battles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A was unique. It allowed players to earn a lot of Mega Shards – which can be traded for powerful items like Mega Stones and Exp. Candy – but with some tough restrictions. The season began on March 11th and will end on April 1st at 7 PM Pacific Time / 10 PM Eastern Time. This season only allowed the use of Mega Evolutions, a feature first added in Pokemon Legends: Z-A or its Mega Dimension DLC. However, Season 9 will be a standard season, without those limitations.
