Pokémon Legends Z-A will include a set of Pokémon that have not appeared in games in over a decade. These Pokémon were absent from Generations VII, VIII, and IX. The last time these Pokémon were in a game was for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which is Generation VI. So which ones are they? The elemental monkeys Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour.
Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour are catchable for the first time ever on the Nintendo Switch and probably the Nintendo Switch 2. In previous games, players could only obtain them by uploading them. The three Pokémon orignally debuted in Pokémon Black and White. They were also present in a few subsequent games like Black and White 2, X and Y, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Barring Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour there are a few other Pokémon that fall into this category.
