Pokémon Legends Z-A: How long to beat

Pokémon games are known for being incredibly time-consuming, often requiring players to spend many hours – sometimes hundreds or even thousands – exploring everything they have to offer. Players typically start by completing the main storyline, but then often get drawn into catching all the Pokémon, finishing optional tasks, and discovering all the other content the games provide.

This guide explains how long it takes to finish the main story and fully complete Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

How long does it take to beat Pokémon Legends: Z-A? 

Completing Pokémon Legends: Z-A will likely take between 25 and 30 hours. This estimate covers the main story and includes finishing about half of the optional side quests, as well as making good progress on filling out the Pokédex.

How long it takes to finish the game depends on your skill with boss battles and special Pokémon challenges, as well as how many optional quests you do. If you focus only on the main story and skip everything else, you might finish in 15 to 20 hours.

How long does it take to 100% Pokémon Legends: Z-A? 

Completing everything in Pokémon Legends: Z-A will likely take 50 to 60 hours, or even longer. This includes finishing the main story, all side quests, and filling out both the standard and Mega Evolution Pokédexes. Reaching Level 50 in Mable’s Research is particularly time-consuming and will take a considerable amount of effort.
