Despite all the talks about a potential Mega Charizard Z coming in the next title, players think another 'mon actually needs the boost a whole lot more: Flygon. The biggest moment of the Pok\u00e9mon Presents on Feb. 27 was the surprise announcement of Legends: Z-A, which is expected to take place in Lumiose City of the Kalos region. Gen VI\u2019s Kalos region is of course tied to Mega Evolution, as teased in the trailer. Mega Evolution was a cool mechanic that allowed Pok\u00e9mon to temporarily evolve into a different form in battle. It came with some incredible new designs and gave the Pok\u00e9mon access to higher stats, different Abilities, and sometimes different typings. But only a small selection of lucky Pok\u00e9mon received Mega forms between X and Y and the Gen III remakes. Upon seeing the colorful Mega Evolution symbol in the trailer, fans immediately began theorizing which Pok\u00e9mon might be getting new Mega Evolutions in the near future. Many are anticipating Mega Charizard Z to become a reality, knowing how much special treatment Game Freak shows to the Gen I Fire Starter. But instead of giving Charizard its third Mega form, a lot of fans are rooting for a Pok\u00e9mon that could actually use a buff\u2014Flygon. Fans have expressed their hopes for Flygon to get a Mega Evolution in multiple Reddit threads after the announcement of Legends: Z-A, but truthfully, they\u2019ve been asking for any sort of buff or rework for way longer. This is because Flygon has always been overshadowed by stronger Pok\u00e9mon like Charizard and Garchomp, despite being a well-loved Pok\u00e9mon with an awesome design. All of this could change if Flygon ends up getting the Mega Evolution it deserves. With Mega Evolution, Flygon could be blessed with a gamechanging buff like we saw with Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Mawile. In addition to higher stats, Flygon could get a different typing, a wider move pool, and additional Ability options. Flygon currently has the Ground\/Dragon typing, sharing it with Garchomp and Zygarde, the likely mascot of Legends: Z-A. However, this type combination has a huge Ice weakness, and it\u2019d just make a lot more sense if Flygon were Bug\/Dragon instead, given its design. If Flygon\u2019s hypothetical Mega Evolution changed its type to Bug\/Dragon, it would be the first Pok\u00e9mon species with that type combination while eliminating the quad-weakness to Ice. It\u2019d also be nice to see Flygon have alternative options for Abilities. Flygon is stuck with the Levitate ability, which gives it a handy immunity to Ground-type attacks, but it\u2019s not fair that it doesn\u2019t have any other options while many other Pok\u00e9mon naturally have two or three Abilities to choose from. At the very least, Flygon could have access to another Ability when it Mega Evolves\u2014Adaptability, Defiant, or Speed Boost would be cool options.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/17094358\/flygon-2434220752.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560"}],"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\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1148560"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1148596,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560\/revisions\/1148596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1148560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1148560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Despite all the talks about a potential Mega Charizard Z coming in the next title, players think another 'mon actually needs the boost a whole lot more: Flygon. The biggest moment of the Pok\u00e9mon Presents on Feb. 27 was the surprise announcement of Legends: Z-A, which is expected to take place in Lumiose City of the Kalos region. Gen VI\u2019s Kalos region is of course tied to Mega Evolution, as teased in the trailer. Mega Evolution was a cool mechanic that allowed Pok\u00e9mon to temporarily evolve into a different form in battle. It came with some incredible new designs and gave the Pok\u00e9mon access to higher stats, different Abilities, and sometimes different typings. But only a small selection of lucky Pok\u00e9mon received Mega forms between X and Y and the Gen III remakes. Upon seeing the colorful Mega Evolution symbol in the trailer, fans immediately began theorizing which Pok\u00e9mon might be getting new Mega Evolutions in the near future. Many are anticipating Mega Charizard Z to become a reality, knowing how much special treatment Game Freak shows to the Gen I Fire Starter. But instead of giving Charizard its third Mega form, a lot of fans are rooting for a Pok\u00e9mon that could actually use a buff\u2014Flygon. Fans have expressed their hopes for Flygon to get a Mega Evolution in multiple Reddit threads after the announcement of Legends: Z-A, but truthfully, they\u2019ve been asking for any sort of buff or rework for way longer. This is because Flygon has always been overshadowed by stronger Pok\u00e9mon like Charizard and Garchomp, despite being a well-loved Pok\u00e9mon with an awesome design. All of this could change if Flygon ends up getting the Mega Evolution it deserves. With Mega Evolution, Flygon could be blessed with a gamechanging buff like we saw with Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Mawile. In addition to higher stats, Flygon could get a different typing, a wider move pool, and additional Ability options. Flygon currently has the Ground\/Dragon typing, sharing it with Garchomp and Zygarde, the likely mascot of Legends: Z-A. However, this type combination has a huge Ice weakness, and it\u2019d just make a lot more sense if Flygon were Bug\/Dragon instead, given its design. If Flygon\u2019s hypothetical Mega Evolution changed its type to Bug\/Dragon, it would be the first Pok\u00e9mon species with that type combination while eliminating the quad-weakness to Ice. It\u2019d also be nice to see Flygon have alternative options for Abilities. Flygon is stuck with the Levitate ability, which gives it a handy immunity to Ground-type attacks, but it\u2019s not fair that it doesn\u2019t have any other options while many other Pok\u00e9mon naturally have two or three Abilities to choose from. At the very least, Flygon could have access to another Ability when it Mega Evolves\u2014Adaptability, Defiant, or Speed Boost would be cool options.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/17094358\/flygon-2434220752.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560"}],"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\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1148560"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1148596,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148560\/revisions\/1148596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1148560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1148560"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1148560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
