To start the day off right, The Pokémon Company brought a Summer Pokémon Presents July 2025 showcase, and here are all of the announcements.
While today is not Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company scraped together a slew of new announcements to share with fans regarding the latest developments in the Pokémon franchise. Typically, for the past three years Pokémon Presents showcases would land on February 27, the same day Pokémon Red and Green was released in Japan in 1996.
But that’s not the case for 2025, as Pokémon Day has come and gone (alongside a Presents showcase), and The Pokémon Company took the time in between February’s showcase and today to reveal the Pokémon Legends: Z-A release date in a small announcement alongside this second dose of Pokémon Presents July 2025. While May revealed Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s release date, today’s presentation brought much more with it. But without further delay, here are all of the developments revealed at the Pokémon Presents July 2025 showcase.

Mega Dragonite has been revealed for the first time, and it features Dragonair design traits, such as wings on its head and a blue orb on its tail. This confirms what fans have thought, there will be new Mega Evolutions in Legends Z-A. Pokémon Legends Z-A releases on October 22, 2025.
