Announced during the most recent Pokémon Presents broadcast, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the successor to the popular Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which first introduced the fresh open-world elements to the franchise that made Pokémon Scarlet & Violet such a success. Though the first trailer for Z-A didn’t show any actual gameplay, it had plenty of Pokémon for fans to gush over – and they probably haven’t been put in there randomly just for flavor.

Pokémon appearing in the game’s announcement trailer are fully expected to be present in the final product, so it’s worth combing through the footage to collect them all and get an early feel for what this version of Kalos – be it in the past, future, or both – is going to be like.

Here are all Pokémon from the Pokémon Legends: Z-A announcement trailer.

Every Pokémon spotted in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A trailer

The following 33 Pokémon were visible in the Pokémon Legends: Z-A announcement trailer:

  • Pikachu
  • Litleo
  • Pyroar
  • Klefki
  • Flabébé
  • Furfrou
  • Spearow
  • Fletchling
  • Dragonair
  • Hawlucha
  • Magikarp
  • Gyarados
  • Hippopotas
  • Staryu
  • Skrelp
  • Absol

  • Onix
  • Pinsir
  • Heracross
  • Bellsprout
  • Talonflame
  • Eevee
  • Espurr

Working from these Pokémon as a foundation, we can assume that their evolutions will be present in the game as well, though some regional forms could well shake up the list – just remember the Hisuian forms being introduced with Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

We can’t predict any such additions to the Pokédex, so for now here’s the list of 29 creatures that can be expected barring any special circumstances:

  • Pichu
  • Raichu
  • Floette
  • Florges
  • Fearow
  • Fletchinder
  • Dratini
  • Dragonite
  • Hippowdon
  • Starmie
  • Dragalge
  • Ekans
  • Skiddo
  • Vaporeon
  • Jolteon
  • Flareon
  • Espeon
  • Umbreon
  • Leafeon
  • Glaceon
  • Krokorok
  • Honedge
  • Doublade
  • Steelix
  • Weepinbell
