As the hype mounts for Pokemon Legends Z-A, fans looking to experience the future of the franchise have even more in store for them. With pre-orders officially now opening up on the Nintendo eShop, My Nintendo Store, and select retail partners, players have a chance to get their hands on a few special early-purchase bonuses.

These incentives give you not only a head start on your quest but also access to some in-game special material. Whether you’re grabbing the digital or physical copy, Nintendo will provide some good rewards if you pre-order.

Here’s the full rundown of what bonuses fans can expect with the Pokemon Legends Z-A Pre-order purchase.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Pre-order bonuses: Ralts holding a Gardevoirite Stone

Players who pre-order Pokemon Legends Z-A or the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (either the digital or physical copy) will be rewarded with a Ralts that’s carrying a Gardevoirite, an item used for Gardevoir to Mega Evolve.

This unique Ralts can be obtained via the game’s Mystery Gift option by choosing “Get via Internet” until Saturday, February 28, 2026.

Trainers can level up Ralts into Kirlia and further into Gardevoir, who — if provided with the Gardevoirite — will receive access to its Mega Evolution.

To receive this early-purchase bonus:

• Your Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 must be connected to the internet.
• Your user profile must be linked to a Nintendo Account.
• The Mystery Gift option is unlocked around an hour into play.
• This Ralts can be received in the digital or physical version.
• If you already possess a Gardevoirite stone in your bag, the Ralts given as a gift will not hold one.
• Other Gardevoirite stones will be available within normal play, but players will only have the space to own one.
