In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the main gameplay tends to be broken up between mostly exploring Lumiose City and catching Pokemon during the day, and participating in the Z-A Royale during the night. Because of this, you may find yourself wanting to skip ahead to the next day or night to get started on your objectives.
This is actually a possibility in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, through the ‘pass the time’ feature. If you’re wondering how to skip forward between the day and night cycle, all of the information you’ll need has been included in the guide below.
How to Pass the Time & Skip Between Day / Night in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you can fast-travel to the next day/night cycle by interacting with one of the various benches around the city. These benches are commonly found near notable areas, such as outside Pokemon Centers, so if you’re looking to find one, then fast traveling to check such locations is a good idea.
Once you find a bench, walk up to it and press A to interact with it. This will now open a menu with two different options – kill some time, or hang out with your Pokemon.
Now go ahead and select the kill some time here option from the bench. This will automatically fast-forward the game to the next day or night cycle in just a few seconds, enabling you to keep moving on with your objectives.
If you wish to just take a moment of calm and let the time pass naturally, you can also opt to choose the hang out with your Pokemon option. When selecting this, you will take a seat on the bench and all six of your Pokemon will be summoned from their Poke Balls to interact with one another.
While in this state, you will be able to freely look around and admire your surroundings and Pokemon. You can also open the camera and take pictures of your Pokemon together with the – button on your Joy-Con or controller.
