What the DLC adds to Lumiose City
Mega Dimension picks up after the main story, as sudden spatial distortions ripple across Lumiose City and open a passage to Hyperspace Lumiose. Your partnership with Team MZ continues into this new space, with the mythical Hoopa suggested to have a role in the events unfolding there.
Progress and play carry over seamlessly: you continue from the same save data used in Pokémon Legends: Z‑A, and the DLC’s story is designed for players who have already finished the base game’s narrative.
New Pokémon and Mega Evolutions
The DLC introduces two newly discovered Mega forms for Raichu:
- Mega Raichu X
- Mega Raichu Y
Each form uses a different Mega Stone. Both stones are discovered by progressing through the DLC’s story content, so you’ll unlock these evolutions naturally as you push deeper into Hyperspace Lumiose.

- Finish the main story in Pokémon Legends: Z‑A.
- Update and install the Mega Dimension DLC on your Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 system.

- Press the X Button to open the main menu.
- Press the − Button to open the Outfit & Looks menu.
- Select the Holo‑X or Holo‑Y items to equip them.
