Pokemon Legends Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC isn't just a minor update; the paid expansion will include dozens of previously unobtainable Pokemon, never-before-seen Mega Evolutions, a new storyline to follow with the Mythical Mischief Pokemon, Hoopa, and new areas filled with Pocket Monsters that exceed level 100 for the first time in Pokemon history. There's a lot going on!
