The Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A dramatically expands the game’s Pokédex, introducing 9 Legendary Pokémon and 11 Mythical Pokémon—and remarkably, every single one of them can be caught right now with no limited-time events required.
At launch, Pokémon Legends: Z-A featured 230 Pokémon, mainly from the Kalos region, with only a handful of creatures from later generations. Post-launch updates later added Diancie and Mewtwo, bringing the total to 232. The Mega Dimension DLC goes much further, adding 132 new Pokémon, regional variants, and multiple powerful Legendaries and Mythicals, some tied to story progression and others unlocked through post-game content.

Special Scans Explained
Special scans unlock after completing the DLC story. Once you earn 25,000 survey points, return to Corbeau and Philippe to activate them. These scans open portals to Hyperspace Lumiose that randomly contain certain Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. While rare, all scan-exclusive Pokémon can be obtained with patience.
Shiny Legendary Pokémon Availability
The following Legendaries can appear as shiny:
- Latias
- Latios
- Virizion
- Terrakion
- Cobalion
However, Keldeo and Meloetta are shiny-locked.
The DLC also introduces new shiny-hunting methods. Players can save before entering a scan portal and reload their previous hard save by restarting the game and pressing Up + X + B on the title screen, allowing multiple shiny attempts.
