The latest work in the series, which has been released for more than 10 days, “Pokémon LEGENDS ZA”. Game play time statistics siteHowLongToBeatIt is said that it is possible to complete the story in about 27 hours on average, so some people may have already finished the replay elements.
In particular, “Completing the Pokédex” is a familiar element that has been going on since the first “Pokémon”, but in fact, in this work, there are many “Pokémon that appear in appearance but cannot be registered in the Pokédex”.
Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there is no way to get these Pokemon, and adventuring through “Miare City” with them is just a dream come true. However, in the winter of 2026, the DLC “M Dimension Rush” containing additional story content will be distributed, so we cannot give up hope that “these Pokemon that did not appear in the main story may also participate in the battle.” In this article, we will introduce the Pokemon that have made cameo appearances in “Pokémon Legends ZA” with such expectations. We will also list spots where you can see them.
In addition,This article also includes screenshots of locations that will be unlocked as the story progresses.Please be careful if you want to avoid spoilers.
Appearing one after another from the beginning of the game! ? Pokemon coloring the poster
Miale Station is the first place you step into when you start the game. Although the main character does not even have a monster ball, many Pokemon have already appeared on the posters posted on the premises.
Among the Pokemon that can’t be registered in the picture book, we pick up a food product advertisement with “Hadelia” drawn on it, an entertainment poster with “Swanna” dancing and a small “Coalhea” enshrined, and a large “Wanriky” that also appears in the main story that seems to be an advertisement for “Moo Moo Milk”, and a smiling “Miltank” icon can be seen on the bottle etc.
In addition, the poster, which seems to have a mushroom theme, is full of mushroom-type Pokemon that do not appear in this work at all, and in addition to the evolved types of “Kushinoko” and “Tadagetake”, if you look closely you can see “Paras” on top of the letters, and the small logo in the upper right corner also shows the evolution destination “Parasect”.
When you exit the station, you will find one of the kiosks located all over the city right next to you. There are various posters pasted on the outside, and when you look at the back, you’ll notice that not only “Kairiki” but also “Okorizal”, “Hariteyama”, “Dageki”, and “Ebiwara” are advertising a hot battle between fighting types.
Also, something that I would like to draw your attention to is the abstract cosmetics poster in the center space that seems to have a “Rugeula” motif, with yellow, purple, and red coloring and impressive pink lips, which makes you realize that “Pokémon” is a familiar and commonplace presence in this world.
If you go a little further away and look into the back alley of “Southside Street,” you will see a poster of “Ashimari,” one of the first three Pokémon Sun and Moon characters. In “Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus”, “Mokuro” from the same work appeared, so we are looking forward to his appearance in DLC.
There is also a poster at the construction site of the Prism Tower in the center of the city, which depicts a Dokkora working on construction and a Gonyogonyo wearing a helmet, perhaps to notify about noise.
By the way, you can only walk around Miale Station at the very beginning of the game, but posters inside the station are also posted on the sides of each Pokemon Center, so if you missed it, you can check it out there. However, there are advertisements that can only be seen at this time, such as warning stickers in the real world of Paris arranged in a Pokemon style. If you are about to start playing the game, it is a good idea to take your time and observe your surroundings.
It looks like you brought about one animal with you? Pokémon displayed in the chorus group
Earlier, I introduced a pattern in which Pokemon appeared as cameos in posters, so to speak, as single pictures, but in this work, there are also Pokemon that appear as three-dimensional objects. In particular, at the office of the group “Sabi-gumi”, which you will likely visit as you progress through the story, statues of “Dodogezan” and “Matadogas”, who do not appear in this work, are already displayed at the entrance.
If you look inside, you’ll find a golden version of the “Welcoming Manula” and the aforementioned “Dodogezan” statue, as well as a “Dormirror”-shaped mirror that looks like the real thing, and apparently “acupuncture points modeled after Harryman.”
In the chorus group, the boss “Karasuba” is a “doku type”, and his right-hand man “Gypso” is a “steel type” user, so it is probably decorated with “both hobbies except for maneuvers”.
However, it’s hard to think of displaying a Pokemon that you don’t have at the entrance, or in a big way, so you might bring at least one Pokemon with you for purposes other than battles.
To digress from the main topic, the main character of this work does not have any Pokémon with him from the beginning, nor does he register them in the picture book, but when he examines some objects, he monologues and mentions the names of Pokémon that have not appeared in the main story, so it is possible that he “originally had some knowledge of Pokémon.”
Is it just fan service? Exhibits at the Miale Museum are full of nostalgia
There were some posters and three-dimensional objects related to Pokemon at Sabigumi and Miale Station, but in terms of “a place where you can see Pokemon that haven’t appeared in the main story,” there is probably nothing that comes close to the “Miare Museum.”
This facility is decorated with paintings and statues modeled after Pokemon, and this work also holds a “Great Jade Exhibition” featuring items related to “Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus.” There are so many stories that I can’t introduce them here, and in terms of percentage, there are fewer Pokemon exhibits that appear in this work.
To name a few, some of the paintings are reminiscent of actual works of art, such as “In addition to the evolution of Gothim, Poochyena, and Yabacha, Himenka and Ken Hollow are depicted,” “Diancie smiling at us,” “A two-shot of Amajo and Noctus,” and “A powerful figure holding Myuu.”
The “Great Jade Exhibition” is decorated with “ancient jade letters” modeled after the legends and King and Queen Pokémon that appear in “Pokémon LEGENDS Arceus,” as well as stone statues of Dialga and Palkia.Pokémons are also depicted on maps, hanging scrolls, and kimonos.
I’d like to argue that this is perhaps a foreshadowing of DLC, but since the Miale Art Museum of Pokémon X and Y, which shares the stage with this work, was exhibiting material from past games both inside and outside of the game, this may just be fan service for those who have played the series.
Surprisingly, there are Pokemon that can be seen in places like this…bases, Pokemon research institutes, and around town.
So far, we’ve seen Pokemon that can be seen in unified themes and locations, but we’ll introduce Pokemon that can be seen in other locations all at once. First of all, if you look closely at the group flag displayed in the operations conference room of Hotel Z, which is the base of the main character and the MZ group, you can see the figure of the Symboler on the far right. The neighboring “Fraette” is natural, but “Symboler” may have been chosen because “the hotel owner “AZ” had it on hand in a previous work.”
At the Pokemon Research Institute visited early in the story, there is a statue of Galop next to the reception desk, and Chonchi and Lantern are displayed on the monitor on the second floor. Since “Yabukuron” was displayed in “Pokémon X and Y”, we may be able to expect its reappearance since the contents have been deliberately changed.
Next, when I looked at the black board of “Handsome House”, which is the introduction of the side mission, I found photos that appeared to be “Laplace” and “Crobat.” Moreover, since it is associated with the map of “Miare City”, it can be said that it “existed in the work” rather than “may appear”. The expected value of participating in the DLC is probably higher than others.
Also, at the beginning of the article, I introduced the Pokemon that appeared in the poster, but there are also Pokemon that do not appear in the main story in the monitor advertisement. The easiest place to check is the monitor located northeast of Rose Square, where in addition to the aforementioned Miale Museum, cosmetics, and electronics advertisements, there are movie advertisements.
In the advertisement, “Foxry” dressed in a phantom thief-like costume, “Hardelia” holding something that looks like a magnifying glass, “Dobble” and “Zigzaguma (in Galarian form)” are all posing, and the icon that says “It has won some sort of award”, which is often seen in real Accord trailers, is impressive.
This monitor advertisement can also be seen near “Pokémon Center: Veil”, but if you look closely at the bottom of the screen you can see the “Rotom” icon. Although “Smartphone Rotom” appears in this work, “Rotom” as a “Pokémon that you can fight with” does not appear, so in a sense, this can also be called a cameo appearance.
Bonus – in a sense, an adventure together? Pokemon drawn on clothes
By the way, Pokemon that have not appeared in the main story appear not only in the city, but also as clothes. To summarize, first of all, “BIG FAN” located in the mall “Passage de L’Ombre” at Rouge 4 has clothing reminiscent of real-life movies such as “Jurassic Park”, and they sell shirts with the “Innuwan” logo called “Best Buddy”.
Although it is not technically a Pokemon, there is also a shirt with “F-00” from “Pokewood” that appears in “Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2”, perhaps because of the movie connection.
In addition, at the DENSOKU Miale store located in the same mall, you can purchase the stylishly patterned Kiteruguma sweatshirt in a variety of colors as a Pokemon print sweatshirt. The DENSOKU logo that can be seen on products at the store also incorporates the design of “Pulse One”, which is an evolution of the aforementioned “Innu One”.
If you walk away from there and look at the mall “Galerie Claire de Lune” at Rouge 2, you will see “Cactus high socks” with “Noctus”, for which “Le Pays des Pieds” also appeared in paintings, and “Savonaire” before its evolution, lined up.
The store across the street, “Le Pays des Vetements,” has a variation of the “Sweater & Shirt Set,” which features “Sollock” on the front and “Lunatone” on the back, and there are two color patterns.
In addition, “Solrock” and “Lunatone” are actually depicted in the city, and if you look closely at the bridge over the Saison Canal, you can see them standing on both sides of the tiles on the side and inside.
Conclusion
This concludes the introduction of “Pokémon that have not appeared in Pokémon Legends ZA, whose appearances can only be confirmed.” To be honest, when I looked into it, I found that there were far more Pokemon than I had expected, and even then, the details in this work are so great that I find myself wondering if there are still Pokemon I’ve missed.
Some of the things I didn’t introduce because it would deviate from the main theme are the “hologram statue of something that looks like Pokemon” at the entrance to each zone, which is often overlooked, and “the icon used in the early Pokemon games drawn on a whiteboard in a certain facility.”
There are many detailed illustrations of Pokemon that have already appeared in the main story, so if you feel like you’ve run out of things to do, why not take a look at the details of the city?
