The innovative battle system in Pokémon Legends Z-A introduces Plus Moves as a fresh combat feature. Unlike traditional turn-based encounters, this title adopts real-time action elements akin to its predecessor Legends: Arceus, which utilized Agile and Strong Styles for dynamic battles.
These enhanced techniques function as amplified versions of standard attacks. Mastering them requires specific methods:
Understanding Plus Moves Mechanics

Plus Moves deliver upgraded effects through two primary acquisition paths. Natural move progression occurs as Pokémon level up, automatically enhancing their innate abilities. For Technical Machine-acquired techniques, players must obtain Mastery Seeds and consult a specialist named Josee to unlock their amplified potential.
Executing Enhanced Techniques
Activation involves pressing the dedicated ‘+’ command during battles, consuming accumulated Mega Energy reserves. This resource limitation requires strategic planning – Mega Evolution transforms all active abilities into Plus Moves while active, creating devastating offensive combinations.
Advanced Combat Strategies
- Deploy amplified attacks during Rogue Mega Encounters to disrupt opponent charge sequences
- Note that protective moves like Protect only partially mitigate enhanced move damage
- Status-altering Plus Moves gain extended durations and heightened potency
