Discover Hyperspace Lumiose and New Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Expands with Mega Dimension DLC and a New Side Mission Featuring Diancie

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Nov. 6, 2025 — Today, The Pokémon Company International revealed new details for the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC.[1] An extra side mission within the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game was also disclosed and is available now in-game.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

The Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC will be released on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems.

Venturing into Hyperspace Lumiose

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension, Trainers will revisit Lumiose as spatial distortions begin to form around the city. Donut chef Ansha and her companion, the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, will guide players as they explore the mysterious dimension known as Hyperspace Lumiose. This not-quite Lumiose City is home to newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon and other Pokémon not usually found in Lumiose, some of which can exceed the normal limit of Lv. 100 with hyperspace levels.

Hoopa’s powers are awakened when it receives one of Ansha’s donuts, transforming the distortions into portals to hyperspace. Ansha uses Berries to create various kinds of donuts that grant different effects in hyperspace, such as powering up your Pokémon. She can also use more potent Hyperspace Berries, which are useful for taking on the high-level Pokémon in Hyperspace Lumiose.

Trainers will be joined by new allies such as Korrina, a successor to a line of Mega Evolution gurus determined to encounter every Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Together with Team MZ, players will explore Hyperspace Lumiose, uncover its secrets, and tackle the strange events befalling Lumiose City.

Newly Discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon

Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur will make their debut in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.

When Chimecho Mega Evolves, six smaller copies appear and flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing. When Chimecho cries, the echoes of its copies overlap and resonate, creating an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.

Baxcalibur becomes even more formidable thanks to Mega Evolution, generating more ice energy and wielding a back blade that has grown larger and more powerful. With the sheer weight of this blade, it can cleave or smash nearly anything in its path. Players can obtain the Mega Stone needed to evolve Baxcalibur from the Z-A Battle Club as a reward for advancing in online Ranked Battles.[2]

Extra Side Mission Now Available to Get Mythical Pokémon Diancie in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Beginning Thursday, November 6,[3] players can claim a Diancite Stone through the Mystery Gift feature[4] in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A base game. This Diancite stone unlocks an opportunity to encounter and catch the Jewel Pokémon Diancie through an extra side mission titled “Shine Bright like a Gemstone.”

Once Trainers have claimed their Diancite via Mystery Gift, they can visit the Looker Bureau, where Mimi the Espurr—Emma’s partner Pokémon—will take a special interest in the Mega Stone, setting an extra side mission in motion. Completing this mission allows players to add Diancie to their team, then use the Diancite stone to Mega Evolve it into Mega Diancie, unveiling its radiant Mega Evolution in battle.

Five performances will be held over three days, from Friday, March 20th. 2026 to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY.

On the day of the concert, professional band members will perform numerous PokéMiku songs live. Virtual singers Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO will perform live, with guest appearance by Kasane Teto. In addition, many Pokémon, including Pikachu and Meloetta, will also pop out to join the virtual singers and liven up the venue.

Why not take part in an unprecedented live stage performance where virtual singers and Pokémon will perform together, and experience the moment when dreams, adventure, the future, and music intersect before your eyes?

The main visual is an original design by Take! It also features Hatsune Miku, Pikachu, and Meloetta!

Today, along with the launch of the special live website, we also unveiled the event's main visual. Take is the character designer/illustrator responsible for the original costume design for the PokéMiku Live and the main visual. They illustrated Hatsune Miku singing joyfully alongside Pikachu and Meloetta in original costumes created specifically for this live performance.

We've received a comment from Take, which we'd like to share with you.

Take's Comment:

I'm Take, in charge of the costume design and main visual for Live!

This Miku is a little different from the 18 unique Mikus we've featured to date. It was inspired by the idea, "What if Hatsune Miku secretly appeared in the world of Pokémon?" We discussed extensively with the PokéMiku team about what kind of look would be appropriate when designing the costumes.

At the same time, this is the first live event where Pokémon and Hatsune Miku team up, so beyond the costume design, we're excited to incorporate as many unique ideas into this unprecedented live event.

We hope you'll enjoy this adventure with us!

A New Song will also be posted next month!

At "PokéMiku Live," we'll be performing all of the PokéMiku songs, including the 22 songs released so far (excluding remixes), as well as several new songs that will be released between now and the live event. On Thursday, September 18th, 2025, we plan to release a new song by a music creator appearing for the first time in this project.

The official "PokéMiku" website introduces all PokéMiku songs, including those to be released in the future, along with profiles and comments from the music creators behind them. Enjoy this site as a way to prepare for the live performance.

Concert ticket sales start September 1st, 2025! Live merchandise will also be produced!

【竹さんのコメント】

ポケミクに今度はライブで会える...！
Live！衣装デザイン／メインビジュアルを担当しました。竹です。

今回のミクは、今までの個性的な18タイプのミクたちとはすこし違って「もしもポケモンの世界に"初音ミク"がお忍びで現れたとしたら…？」というテーマが発想の原点になっています。どんなすがたが相応しいかなと、ポケミクチームの皆さんとたくさん話し合いながら衣装を考えました。

また同時に、ポケモン✕初音ミクがタッグを組んでの、はじめてのライブイベントでもあり衣装デザイン以外にも、今までにないライブならではのトクベツなチャレンジを一つでも多く盛り込めるよう、色々はりきっております。
一緒にこの冒険を楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいです！
