During the story of LZA, you will join Team MZ who protect Lumiose. As revealed previously there is a tournament Z-A Royale that takes place at night, and there appears to be an evil team called the Rust Syndicate. As in the original X/Y games there is a big fashion focus and trainers can change their hairstyle and clothing.

Like Legends: Arceus, there are many side quests where you can help out other characters around the city, and do research on Pokémon. Another strand is Rogue Mega Evolution, where wild Pokémon have been Mega-Evolving on their own and you must quell them. Among them is Mega Dragonite, which takes on features of Dragonair such as its small wings and pearl on its tail.
