Here’s Some Inspo For Crafting The Most Festive Team In Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Whether you’re planning to pick up Pokemon Legends: Z-A for the holidays or have been enjoying it already and are looking for a way to challenge yourself, maybe you’d be interested in running a holiday-themed team to help you get into the season. Most of these teams will feature unique challenges, such as every Pokemon in the party sharing a common weakness, but that only adds to the challenge.

Of course, your holiday-themed team wouldn’t be complete without an appropriately dressed trainer, so don’t forget to style yourself as well to evoke a full holiday vibe. Your themes can be as on the nose as a Christmas team, or as vague as a generalized Snow team. That said, if you need a bit of inspiration, take a look at some of the options listed below.

Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Lumiose

If you’re looking for something festive that’s a bit on the nose, then why not go for a full-on Christmas-themed team? That can mean anything you interpret it to mean, but for this team, that basically just means being red, green, or both. Delibird is the obvious Pokemon everyone thinks of when the holiday season rolls around, but the rest of the team feels festive in their own way.

If you want to copy this team exactly, it will consist of:

Of course, specific moves are up to you, but you’ll want to make sure you have relatively good coverage since a large majority of these Pokemon are Grass types. As for the outfit, if you want to match your team, then here are all the items showcased on the trainer in the photo above.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

If you’re not looking for something directly associated with Christmas, but still want to enjoy the winter weather in Pokemon, then maybe a team and outfit focused on snow would be more to your taste. Rather than being strictly ice types, although most of them are, this team is centered around those that you’d expect to see taking a stroll over a fresh blanket of snow.

As for the outfit, you can find everything the trainer above is wearing in the table below:

Winter Wonderland

In addition to a snow-themed team, it seems only fitting that an Ice team be depicted as well. In contrast to the fluffy or soft, snow-like appearance of the previous team, this team is characterized by sharp edges and fierce power. So if you’re looking for a holiday team that can really pack a punch, look no further.

That said, you will be limited on coverage and will, of course, want to stay clear of fire-type Pokemon with this team. This team is mainly recommended for someone looking to really challenge and limit themselves. For an overview of all the Pokemon that are part of this team, please see the table below:

Snowed In

While cold weather can be great, it’s also great to get away from it all and snuggle up next to a warm fire. With that in mind, creating a team that evokes the feel of a cozy, warm cabin in the mountains can also be a way to celebrate the holiday season in Pokemon. With that said, here are all the Pokemon for that team:

Ghost of Pokemon Past

If bright and cheerful teams aren’t what you’re feeling this season, then maybe leaning into one of the most popular Christmas stories would suit you better. A Christmas Carol is the perfect excuse to build a ghostly team and stay in theme with the holidays.

The only unfortunate part is that the majority of this team doesn’t have Mega Evolutions, but don’t underestimate how strong they can be without them. For an overview of every Pokemon on this team, please see the table below:

Happy New Year!

Last, but not least, you can’t wrap up the holiday season without something to celebrate the end of the year. So if you’re looking to ring in the new year with Pokemon Legends: Z-A, then perhaps try out this shiny and sparkling New Year’s Day team. To make the team even more special than it already is, this New Year team even features two mythical Pokemon, Diancie and Magearna.

For an overview of all the Pokemon included as part of this team and which ones feature Mega Evolutions, please see the table below:
