Pokémon Legends: Z-A has finally arrived to return Pokémon fans to the Kalos region of Gen 6 for the first time in 12 years.

The second installment in the Legends franchise, Z-A shares some similarities with its predecessor, Arceus, but there’s still new mechanics that even the most dedicated Pokémon fan will have to learn. This includes real-time battle mechanics and the Wild Zones where wild Pokémon live in harmony with the city. (And get caught and beaten up by the local trainer community.)

So look below to find our Pokémon Legends: Z-A tips to help you become a Pokémon Master! Don’t forget to check out our Pokémon Legends: Z-A walkthrough either!

Seeing a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball is a sad moment, because, not only do you have to toss out another, but you’ve just lost some cash. Not all Poké Balls grow on trees after all. There’s an extra way to lose Poké Balls in the Legends series though. Since you can throw them before even starting an encounter, it’s possible to completely miss your targeted Pokémon if your aim isn’t true. It’s a sad moment to watch the Poké Ball go wide or fall short.
