🔥 Top 10 Hidden Secrets in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Pokémon Legends: Z-A brings players back to Lumiose City — but this time, the city hides much more than just Gyms and cafés. Beneath its bright lights are countless secrets, Easter eggs, and hidden gameplay twists that even veteran trainers might miss.


  1. “Prism Tower” — Time Shift Elevator
    Hidden inside Prism Tower is a secret elevator that changes the time of day in Lumiose City. It’s not just visual — certain Pokémon and NPCs appear only after shifting time this way.
  2. 🕶 “Café Lysandre” — Secret Battle Room
    If you interact with the painting behind the counter three times, you’ll reveal a hidden door. Inside waits a tough double battle against Lysandre’s AI projection — a callback to Team Flare.
  3. 🌆 “North Boulevard” — Rooftop Park
    Climb an unmarked fire escape and you’ll find a small rooftop garden with a rare Zygarde Core. Visiting it daily changes the weather pattern across Lumiose City for 24 hours.
  4. 🧩 “Underground Metro” — Ghost Train Event
    After midnight, you can hear the sound of an arriving train underground. Board it, and you’ll trigger a mysterious side quest featuring ghost-type Pokémon and forgotten passengers.
  5. 🧠 “PokéTech Lab” — AI Pokémon Fusion Test
    Interact with the broken monitor in the lab to access a prototype fusion simulator. It shows concept fusions of classic Pokémon — pure Easter egg fan service for long-time trainers.
  6. 💎 “Stone Plaza” — Hidden Shiny Stone Mechanic
    If you spin your character three full turns beside the central fountain, a hidden sparkle appears — one random evolution stone daily. It’s the easiest way to farm rare stones early game.
  7. 🐉 “Old Power Plant” — Zygarde Den
    Deep inside the restricted area is a secret chamber where Zygarde’s cells slowly regenerate. Collecting all of them unlocks a special cinematic about the rebirth of Kalos.
  8. 📸 “Photo Club” — Hidden Memory Feature
    When you take enough photos with the same Pokémon, a secret memory cutscene plays — showing its journey from capture to friendship. Emotional and beautifully animated.
  9. 🔋 “Route 5” — Experimental Mega Energy Field
    At night, an energy field appears near the cliffs. Pokémon entering it briefly show alternate Mega forms — teasing future evolutions or experimental versions.
  10. 🎭 “Lumiose Theater” — Developer Cameos
    Watch all in-game movies in the theater, and the director NPC will invite you backstage. You’ll find NPCs modeled after the real Game Freak dev team — a rare and wholesome tribute.

🎮 Trainer Tip:
Most secrets activate based on time, weather, or number of badges earned. Explore every corner of Lumiose — interact with signs, paintings, and machines. The city hides its stories best at night. 🌙
