As players progress deeper into Pokemon Legends: Z-A, assembling a powerful team becomes essential for handling late-game challenges, including Rogue Mega Evolution battles and competitive encounters.

While early gameplay often relies on starter choices and easily available creatures, the later stages reward players who invest in high-stat Pokemon, particularly those capable of Mega Evolution or classified as Legendary and Pseudo-Legendary.

Top-Tier Pokemon by Base Stats

The strongest Pokemon in the game are dominated by Mega Evolutions and Legendary species, many of which surpass 700 in total base stats.

  • Mega Mewtwo X / Y — 780
  • Mega Rayquaza — 780
  • Mega Zygarde — 778
  • Primal Kyogre — 770
  • Primal Groudon — 770

These Pokemon offer exceptional offensive and defensive capabilities, making them ideal centerpieces for high-level teams.

Best Pokemon by Type

For balanced team-building, players can choose from multiple strong options across each type:

  • Fire: Mega Charizard Y, Mega Emboar, Ceruledge
  • Water: Mega Gyarados, Mega Feraligatr, Greninja
  • Electric: Mega Ampharos, Mega Raichu X/Y, Eelektross
  • Dragon: Zygarde, Mega Salamence, Mega Baxcalibur
  • Steel: Mega Metagross, Mega Lucario Z, Mega Skarmory

This variety allows players to tailor their teams based on playstyle, coverage needs, and synergy.
