Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #215. Chesnaught brings Grass and Fighting typing into Lumiose and its Defense stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Chesnaught fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Chesnaught in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Chesnaught is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #215 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Chesnaught directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A is Grass and Fighting. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Chesnaught is weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Psychic, Fairy, and Flying. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Chesnaught is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Chesnaught resists Water, Electric, Grass, Ground, Rock, and Dark. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 530. Its standout base stat is Defense at 122, while Speed at 64 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Chesnaught, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Its Speed sits in the middle of the spread rather than defining the entire Pokémon.
How Chesnaught Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Chesnaught because battles happen in real time. The bulk is another part of the picture: HP and defensive stats give it a sturdier base for surviving exchanges while you manage positioning and cooldowns.
Chesnaught Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Chesnaught, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Chesnaught Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Chesnaught in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Chesnaught from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Chesnaught Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Chesnaught: a standout Defense stat of 122, dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile, and a strong 530 base stat total. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Chesnaught has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
