Fans of Pokémon Legends Z-A will want to check out the latest drops from Nintendo. If you've got a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you'll be able to snag a weekly rotation of cool themed items for the next month, assuming you've got the Platinum Points to cover them.
As reported by NSO Icon Alerts on X, various icons from Pokémon Legends: Z-A are here with NSO. The icons will rotate every week, and are available until February 22, 2026. So you'll need to be fast if you plan on grabbing any of the icons for yourself. You can view the original post below.
It may not be in-game items for Legends: Z-A, which have admittedly been a little underwhelming lately, but the new icons are something that many fans will want to get. And since it's something everyone can see when they view your Nintendo account, it feels like the icons have a bit more staying power than something like a Berry bundle in Legends: Z-A or a bunch of different Poké Balls.
Personally, I'm loving the Mega Charizard X icon, and I have a feeling that's the one a lot of fans are going to be going after. That being said, icons of Mega Dragonite and Mega Elektross look pretty cool too. Hopefully, this will open the gate for more icons from Legends: Z-A in the future, because icons for Mega Zeraora and Mega Lucario would be pretty sweet, and I'd adore one for Mega Gengar too.
You Don't Have Forever To Claim These Icons So Act Fast
If you're interested in grabbing any of these icons from NSO, then you'll need Platinum Points. The icons of various Pokémon and characters from Legends: Z-A all run 10 Platinum Points each. If you want the various color backgrounds, those cost 5 Platinum Points each. Hopefully, you've got plenty saved up if you like the look of these icons.
You also only have a limited time to grab the icons. They are seemingly gone for good after February 22, 2026, giving you a little less than a month to obtain them. While I'm personally not a fan of these offers on NSO being limited-time-only, it's at least an exciting time for members to get new items. And if you're a fan of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, then you'll likely want to grab at least one or two of these icons while they're available.
