July 11, 2026 Matt Jackson

Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a new update coming on July 15, and it is going to change the game. Specifically, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Season 14 Ranked Battles will only allow Lumiose Pokédex and Hyperspace Pokédex flying-type Pokémon.

Battles will consist of four-player battles with performance-based points awarded for each match. Included in the season’s rewards are various Mega Stones. Players will also receive valuable pretty feathers.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Season 14 Changes

Through season updates, Z-A has seen significant changes to the game’s Ranked Battles. Season 11 restricted players to 1 Legendary Pokémon while Season 12 effectively reversed this before Season 13 prohibited all legendary and mythical Pokémon. Pokémon Legends: Z-A Season 14 brings even bigger changes, effectively prohibiting the use of most available Pokémon.
