Follow these steps to manually download the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends Z-A:

Go to your home screen where you should see your games library.
Select Pokemon Legends Z-A and press the plus button (+) on your right Joycon.
Go to the Software Update option.
Finally, select the Get via Internet option.

With this, your screen might flicker or lag for a split-second, and following this the download will start automatically. If you still do not see the Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC download start, put your Switch 1 or Switch 2 into docked mode and then connect it to an ethernet cable directly, and then try to above steps. In most cases, this will force your Switch to download the update.

Once the download has started, you need to wait for several minutes for the entire Mega Dimension DLC to be loaded. Note that this can happen in multiple stages of downloads, and not entirely in one go.

As such, once your entire download finishes, another one (or two) might start. No need to worry as this is intended from Nintendo's end, to ensure that you get the entire game file downloaded smoothly without any hitches.

How to start Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC?

After all download processes have completed, turn on the game and you should see a new side mission awaiting you, that will need you to head to the rooftop of Hotel Z. Simply head there to start the Mega Dimensions DLC in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

You will meet a new NPC named Ansha and Hoopa, the Mischief Pokemon. Once you accept their request of making "donuts", it will start Side Mission 120 Donuts of Unworldly Deliciousness, which is where the Mega Dimension DLC actually begins.
