Pokémon Legends Z-A pre-orders have some great free gifts depending on where you shop – here's where you can get them

Amazon is kind of the Gastly at the feast here, offering no pre-order incentives besides the game itself. If you're a Prime member, though, you do at least benefit from free shipping, and you should receive the game on launch day.

Nintendo Switch: $59.99 at Amazon

Best Buy is the first US retailer on our list to offer an additional free item with your pre-order. In this case, it's a unique 'gamer mat' featuring the map of its setting of Lumiose City. Hey, if you prefer playing your Switch 2 at a desk with a monitor, this might just be the one to go for.

The standard Nintendo Switch version of the game is also eligible for the mat with pre-orders. Link to that right here:

GameStop has a rather snazzy free gift in the form of a tote bag. The retailer is doing a midnight launch for Pokémon Legends Z-A, so be sure to bring your receipt in-store if you pre-order online to secure your physical copy in person along with the free gift.

As with the Switch 2 Edition, Switch 1 buyers will also be eligible to receive the tote bag.

Walmart's free gift might be the best of the bunch, featuring a set of exclusive pins of the game's starter 'mons and game logo.

And yes, the Switch 1 version of the game also comes with the pins when you pre-order.

Nintendo Switch: $59.88 at Walmart

No freebie at Target, unfortunately, but it's potentially a retailer worth considering should the game sell out at other big box outlets.

No free gift here at Amazon UK, either. But if you're not fussed about that, Amazon's lower rate for the game is certainly enticing.

Nintendo Switch: £42.99 at Amazon

ShopTo's impressive pre-order price is one thing, but you can also nab a free sticker set featuring some Mega Evolved Pokémon.

I've saved what I think is the best for last here. My Nintendo Store is offering the Switch 2 version at retail price, but it comes with a couple of Charizard figures and a set of pins.

Nintendo Switch: £56.99 at My Nintendo Store

Another giftless one worth mentioning in the UK is Argos. £54.99 isn't quite as impressive as Amazon's rate above, but still a solid fiver off retail price.
