During Pokémon Day 2026, The Pokémon Company made numerous announcements. If the reveal of the 10th generation attracted attention, Pokémon Legends: ZA was not forgotten. From February 27, a new Mystery Gift allows you to obtain Mega-Garchomp Z, a long-awaited Mega-Evolution. Available without a code, this bonus is accessible directly from the Mystery Gift menu of the game. It marks a new stage for the Mega Dimension DLC, already enriched upon its release in 2018 by several new Mega-Evolutions.
Mega Garchomp Z finally available in Pokémon Legends: ZA
When Mega Dimension was released in late 2018, some Mega Gems were not immediately accessible. Mega Garchomp Z was one of these announced but not playable additions. Thanks to this new Mystery Gift, Trainers can now obtain the Garchompite Z necessary for the transformation. Mega Garchomp Z is distinguished by larger scythe-shaped wings and retains its dual Dragon type. This alternative version further expands the strategic options available in Pokémon Legends: ZA.
How to get Mega Garchomp Z via Mystery Gift
Obtaining follows a precise process, similar to previous Mystery Gifts in the game.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Open Pokémon Legends: ZA and access the Mystery Gift menu
- Connect to the Internet
- Claim the available Mystery Gift
- Unlock the associated side mission
- Complete the encounter in the Hyperspace Dimension
- Defeat Mega Garchomp Z to use it
No code is required. A simple connection is enough to launch the event.
A mechanic similar to previous Mega Evolutions
This operation is reminiscent of previous distributions of Mega-Diancie or the missions linked to Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y. After recovery of the Mystery Gift, a secondary mission is automatically added. It leads to a specific encounter in the Hyperspace Dimension. Once defeated in battle, the Pokémon becomes available for Mega Evolution via the corresponding stone.
Is Game Freak reducing its focus on Pokémon Legends: ZA?
Apart from this Mystery Gift, few major announcements concerned Pokémon Legends: ZA during Pokémon Day 2026. Attention seems to gradually shift towards the 10th generation and other projects like Pokémon Pokopia. While other Mystery Gifts could still be announced, no new major DLC has been confirmed at this time.
