Mega Evolutions are included in the hype, but just what can you expect from the old mechanic in this new title?\u00a0 Mega Evolutions are a popular mechanic introduced in X and Y that stuck around through two generations\u2014last appearing in the main series with Pok\u00e9mon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee! in 2018. Ever since they vanished from core titles, demand for the feature to return with more Mega Pok\u00e9mon has not fallen off, and we just might see a revival with Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A. Will Mega Evolution return in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A? Mega Evolution was teased in the initial reveal of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A, meaning it's very likely the mechanic is going to make a comeback with the new game when it's released.\u00a0 Since Kalos is where Mega Evolution was first introduced, there is a strong possibility the mechanic will play a role in Legends: Z-A\u2019s story, just like how the elements of space and time played into Legends: Arceus\u2019. We could even see the origin of Mega Evolution itself along with some new forms.\u00a0 Will there be new Mega Evolutions in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A? The only thing shown in the trailer was the Mega Evolution symbol with no additional context. Just like regional variants, however, it's unlikely The Pok\u00e9mon Company would confirm the mechanic\u2019s return and not have big plans for what additions can be made as a result.\u00a0 As of 2024, there are 48 different Mega Evolutions that were introduced from 2012 to 2018. Thirty of those evolutions were introduced in X and Y, so a similar number being added in a return to Kalos is not out of the question.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pokemon-Lets-Go-mega-evolutions-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1146487"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1146517,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487\/revisions\/1146517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1146487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1146487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Will Mega Evolution return in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A? Mega Evolution was teased in the initial reveal of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A, meaning it's very likely the mechanic is going to make a comeback with the new game when it's released.\u00a0 Since Kalos is where Mega Evolution was first introduced, there is a strong possibility the mechanic will play a role in Legends: Z-A\u2019s story, just like how the elements of space and time played into Legends: Arceus\u2019. We could even see the origin of Mega Evolution itself along with some new forms.\u00a0 Will there be new Mega Evolutions in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A? The only thing shown in the trailer was the Mega Evolution symbol with no additional context. Just like regional variants, however, it's unlikely The Pok\u00e9mon Company would confirm the mechanic\u2019s return and not have big plans for what additions can be made as a result.\u00a0 As of 2024, there are 48 different Mega Evolutions that were introduced from 2012 to 2018. Thirty of those evolutions were introduced in X and Y, so a similar number being added in a return to Kalos is not out of the question.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Pokemon-Lets-Go-mega-evolutions-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1146487"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1146517,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146487\/revisions\/1146517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1146487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1146487"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1146487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
