Published Aug 4, 2026, 7:00 AM EDT James is a gaming writer from London who has spent thousands of hours exploring titles from every genre. Though he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2 and League of Legends, he has also put thousands of hours into single-player experiences, from deep RPGs to epic PC strategies. When he's not playing or writing, he can usually be found supporting his beloved Brentford FC. Sign in to your ScreenRant account Pokémon Legends Z-A was definitely a game that came with a few issues, but overall, it was a really solid next step in what could be a burgeoning franchise for The Pokémon Company and Game Freak. Time will tell on that front, but there's still plenty going on in the existing game for fans to get involved with. It's a good thing too, with the first game of the tenth generation, Winds and Waves, not likely to launch until the back end of 2027, if previous release formats are followed once again. So, if you fancy booting up Legends Z-A once again, the latest upcoming event has been revealed, and it should be a fun way to round out the Summer. As first reported by GameRant, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has revealed that Season 15 is releasing on August 6. It's set to take on a pretty similar format to what you may have already seen in Season 14, though there are some notable changes that you'll want to be aware of. Before we get into all that, here are the times when the game will be transitioning between seasons: Season 14 ends on August 6, 2026, at 6:59 pm PDT/9:59 pm ET Season 15 starts on August 6, 2026, at 11:00 pm PDT/August 7, 2026, at 2:00 am ET This time around, you'll only be able to use Water-type Pokémon, following on from the Flying-type ruleset of last season. As you might have spotted, this is almost certainly an allusion to Winds and Waves, with some already taking this as a hint that more information (or even a new trailer) is on the way. The full list of Pokemon that you'll be able to use in this season are as follows: Lumiose Pokedex Totodile Croconaw Feraligatr Magikarp Gyarados Binacle Barbaracle Staryu Starmie Panpour Simipour Vaporeon Slowpoke Slowbro Slowking Carvanha Sharpedo Squirtle Wartortle Blastoise Skrelp Clauncher Clawitzer Froakie Frogadier Greninja Hyperspace Pokedex Rotom (only Rotom Wash) Dondozo Tatsugiri Qwilfish (only regular Qwilfish) Mudkip Marshtomp Swampert Feebas Milotic Wimpod Golisopod Volcanion Keldeo Kyogre (restricted Pokemon) Meanwhile, the full list of rewards you'll be able to earn is as follows: Rank-Up Rewards: Rank Y to S: 10x Fresh Water Rank Y: Greninjite Rank X: Delphoxite Rank W: Chesnaughtite Rank V: Baxcalibrite Rank U to T: 50x Health Feather, 10x Pretty Feather Rank U: Sceptilite Rank T: Swampertite Rank S: Blazikenite Rank R to N: 20x Fresh Water, 5x Dive Ball Rank M to J: 50x Fresh Water, 5x Net Ball Rank I to F: 50x Fresh Water, 1x Lure Ball Rank E to D: 2x Lure Ball Rank E to B: 100x Fresh Water Rank C to B: 3x Lure Ball Rank A: 300x Fresh Water, 5x Lure Ball, 1x Water Stone, 1x Mystic Water End-of-Season Rewards: Rank S or below: 50x Fresh Water Rank R to F: 100x Fresh Water Rank E to B: 200x Fresh Water Rank A: 300x Fresh Water This time around, the season is set to run for three weeks, until August 27, so you'll want to move quickly if you're planning to rise up the ladder and dominate in Pokémon Legends Z-A. Other than that, it's just going to be a case of waiting to hear more about the big new release, which should hopefully be here in relatively short order.
