Pokémon Legends Z-A will be the next mainline Pokémon game to hit the shelves, and it'll also be the first in the series to release on the Nintendo Switch 2. 

Like any Pokémon game, there's going to be some early Pokémon that are going to be helpful immediately when it comes to early battles.

Here's what we know. 

Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Best Pokemon To Catch Early 

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been off to a great start when it comes to player perception, as the revamped battle system has been a breath of fresh air thus far. 

However, when it comes to planning your team and organizing a good group of Pokémon to take into battle, there are going to be some that are better than others. 

Early on, you're going to want to take advantage of these stronger Pokémon, as they'll help your team out immediately. 

  • Heracross
  • Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur
    • Obtained via 'A Call from Mable' side quest
  • Gastly
  • Pikachu
  • Ralts

Later on during the mid-game portion of Legends: Z-A; players should keep their eyes out for: 

  • Altaria
  • Absoul
  • Hawlucha

These are only a few options, but there are countless ways to construct your team, and there's bound to be some creative rosters out there.
