You already know Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a fun game (and if you don’t, read Brian Shea’s review here), and I’m not here to repeat that sentiment. However, I do want to take this article to highlight some of the things I recommend hopping back into the game to complete if you haven’t touched it in a minute. If you connect to the internet to receive Mystery Gifts, you can claim a Diancite Stone, a Mewtwonite X stone, and a Mewtwonite Y stone.
