Battle Changes

In Pokémon Legends Z-A, the battles are different to the traditional battles. Here, the Pokémon will move around the field and can avoid attacks. Each attack will have a different range rwquiring your Pokémon to get up close or keep distance, and Pokémon can dodge moves

When a move is used, there is a cooldown on when it can be used again.

You also have the ability to switch your Pokémon in at will allowing for you to change up how you fare in the battle.
