Do a Slowpoke Impression & Win One for Pokémon Legends: Z-A In Japan

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is giving fans a special Slowpoke that echoes their own cries. Discover the details of this unique promotion and the upcoming Season 2 updates.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Special Slowpoke Promotion and Season 2 Updates

Perform a Big "Yaan" To Get A Special Slowpoke

Players in Japan can claim a special Slowpoke by letting out a loud "Yaan" at participating Pokémon Centers. This exclusive offer celebrates the grand opening of the new Pokémon Center in Kagawa, Japan.

Throughout Japan, Pokémon Centers will distribute a special Slowpoke in a Cherish Ball to fans who shout their loudest "Yaan" in-store. Upon completion, players will receive either a gift card with a serial code or a "Mysterious Card" in the Pokémon HOME mobile app—both can be redeemed for the special Slowpoke in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

This Slowpoke comes with randomized stats and nature, starts at Level 5, and knows Calm Mind and Safeguard as its default moves. The promotion runs from October 24, 2025, through November 30, 2025. Serial codes are valid until January 31, 2026.

Fans can also earn the Pokémon Center Kagawa Opening Commemorative Medal via the "Medals" feature in the Pokémon HOME mobile app. This limited-edition medal features a cozy Slowpoke lying down, honoring those who took part in the grand opening celebration.

Delphoxite Mega Stone and More For Season 2 Ranked Battle Rewards

In addition to the special promotion, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is introducing Season 2, which includes the Delphoxite Mega Stone as a top-tier reward. According to The Pokémon Company’s October 30 announcement, changes are coming to how Ranked Battle rewards are earned.

During Season 1, players needed to reach Rank K or higher to obtain Greninjite, the Mega Stone for Greninja. For Season 2, Greninjite is now available at Rank Y—eight ranks lower than before.

Players who climb to Rank S or higher will receive the Delphoxite Mega Stone, the only way to Mega Evolve Delphox. This makes Season 2 a must-play for Delphox trainers and collectors.

Current Known Issues and Planned Fixes

Alongside new Ranked Battle rewards, Pokémon Legends: Z-A will receive fixes for two critical bugs affecting gameplay. As outlined in The Pokémon Company’s October 30 update:

● If your Pokémon Boxes fill up before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and you’ve never opened the Boxes menu, all Pokémon catch attempts will fail. Additionally, side missions that reward Pokémon will complete without granting the Pokémon under these conditions.

● In some side missions, if the time of day shifts from day to night precisely when a move lands, the target becomes un-hittable, making progression impossible.

These issues are scheduled to be resolved in the upcoming November update. An exact release date has not yet been confirmed.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. For the latest game updates, check out our article below.
