The Pokémon Company released a press release to describe Pokémon Legends Z-A and its performance. Its sales have reached about 5.8 million copies globally between Nintendo Switch consoles, with half of the sales originating from the Nintendo Switch 2.
The records from Pierre485 reveal the game’s performance as the fifth best-selling entry in Pokémon compared to other Nintendo Switch titles that reached over 6 million copies, such as Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends Arceus, and Pokémon Sword/Shield. The full game is currently reaching top 3 placements on the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo consoles, widening the gap from its separate Pokémon Legends ZA upgrade pack. It isn’t the fastest achievement compared to Pokémon Scarlet/Violet’s 10 million sales, but it’s still an impressive feat for introducing the new, enhanced combat system for multiple Nintendo Switch consoles.
“This title is the first in the Pokémon Master series to allow players to experience an unprecedented level of “Battle” and “Action” in real-time Pokémon battles that unfold across the city.”
