There are 42 main missions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, five of which can only be completed after the end credits have finished rolling. As players will quickly learn, some of the story quests are quite a lot longer than others, with the last pre-credit main mission clocking in at around forty-five minutes once all's said and done.

After rolling credits, players will unlock five additional main story missions, the first of which becomes available immediately after the credits have finished rolling. These missions give players an opportunity to catch themselves a few Legendary Pokemon while also pushing their battle skills to the absolute limit. Despite their difficulty, though, they're a nice reward for a job well done and are well worth hanging around for.

  1. The Future of Lumiose City
  2. The Infinite Z-A Royale
  3. The One That Gives
  4. The One That Takes
  5. To Keep the World in Balance
