You Should Play Elden Ring to Prepare for Pokémon’s New Boss Battles

Let’s be clear: *Legends: Z-A* isn’t a true ‘Souls-like’ game, but the combat is much faster and more complex than previous *Pokémon* battles, demanding quick reactions. It builds on the real-time elements introduced in *Legends: Arceus*, but significantly increases the intensity. While dodging attacks from a new Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon, I was reminded of the challenging combat in *Elden Ring*. If you’re hoping to prepare for *Legends: Z-A*, you might find games like *Elden Ring* or *Skyrim* more helpful than *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet* or even *Legends: Arceus* itself.
