Nintendo Updates Pokémon Legends Z-A to Version 2.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Nintendo has released an update for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, with some handy item adjustments and a list of bug fixes for the game’s Mega Dimension DLC.

The Switch and Switch 2 Pokémon adventure has today been patch to Version 2.0.1, which makes both berries and Mega Shards easier to buy and hold onto. With the update installed, you will now be able to purchase multiple berries at once from food vendors. Mega Dimension owners, meanwhile, will gain the ability to buy berries at Nouveau Café’s Truck.

Speaking of Mega Dimension, players with the DLC purchased will see a range of bugs fixed — including Shiny Pokémon not registering in your Pokédex, a side mission progression blocker, and an issue where the game’s weather was stuck being sunny (if only this was true in real life).

Launched last month, Mega Dimension adds a fresh story campaign to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, starring a donut chef and the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa. It’s set within an alternative Hyperspace version of Lumiose City, where the franchise’s typical level 100 cap can be surpassed. Most excitingly, it adds a swathe of all-new Mega Evolutions — though none as freaky as the fan-favorite Mega Starmie.

Looking ahead, the Pokémon series celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, and fans are eagerly awaiting news on the next generation of mainline games. Many expect these to be announced on the franchise’s anniversary during its annual Pokémon Presents livestream, due on February 27. There’s also the promising-looking life simulation spin-off Pokémon Pokopia to look forward to.

For now, Pokémon Legends Z-A’s latest full patch notes lie below:
