Here are some fixes for the Pokemon Legends Z-A day-night cycle glitch that can put a sudden stop to your exploration and gameplay.
Amid your journey in exploring Lumiose City, one of the major glitches that you can come across is the day-night cycle glitch. This mostly appears during the Rank E quiz quest, and can soft-lock you into an infinite loop of day and night. You will not be able to control the player or any actions at all. Even if you restart your Nintendo Switch devices, the error does not always go away. Since there is no autosave in Legends Z-A, you might think the only way to fix this might be to restart your progress from the very beginning. Fortunately, there is a way out, although you might lose your most immediate progress.
You can fix the Pokemon Legends Z-A day-night cycle glitch by using Nintendo Switch’s emergency backup feature. This will likely take away some of your progress, but you will not have to play from the very beginning once again.
