Game Freak Releases Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Update 1.0.2 With Bug Fixes and Ranked Tweaks

Online access now requires the patch, signaling Game Freak’s early push to stabilize the game.

Overview

  • Version 1.0.2 is live as of November 6 and delivers the first post‑launch update since the day‑one patch.
  • The update fixes progression blockers including a guaranteed capture failure if storage was full before the first Mega Evolution battle, a day‑night timing bug that halted certain side missions, and a trainer battle hang tied to simultaneous Mega Evolution and opponent switching.
  • Ranked Battles have been adjusted so points no longer drop based on match results, and per‑match rewards have been added or increased.
  • The latest version is mandatory for online features, and local communication will not work with players on earlier versions.
  • The Pokémon Company plans to share details on the Mega Dimension DLC later today.
