Pokemon Legends Z-A Officially Bans Huge Number of Pokemon

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has now banned a huge number of Pokemon from battles. The last major new release for the series before the launch of Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2027, Pokemon Legends: Z-A completely changed how battles work. From the gold standard of turn-based combat, Pokemon Legends: Z-A introduced live battles for the first time, allowing players to use moves freely and make up their strategy on the spot. This even changed how the Speed stat works, going from a crucial part of teambuilding to ensure turn priority to an afterthought, as it only reduces move cooldowns by a bit.
