The Pok\u00e9mon Company has only released one trailer for Legends: Z-A so far, and all we know for sure is the game will center around the redevelopment of Lumiose, one of the biggest cities in the Kalos region. The trailer also teased the return of Gen VI\u2019s Mega Evolution mechanic, prompting fans to predict which Pok\u00e9mon may receive new Mega Evolutions, with Charizard, Flygon, and Incineroar as top picks. Alongside new Mega Evolutions, it\u2019s safe to assume we\u2019ll be getting new evolutions or forms of existing Pok\u00e9mon in Legends: Z-A, whether it\u2019s regional forms, convergent species, or something new altogether. Today, one player suggested \u201ceternal forms\u201d could make an appearance in Z-A, and they even showed off the intriguing concept in artwork posted on Instagram to go with the cool idea. The art features a handful of Gen VI Pok\u00e9mon, including Greninja and Sylveon, with a red, blue, black, and white aesthetic. The concept stems from the Eternal Flower Floette from X and Y. The uncatchable Floette variant was part of Kalos lore as the beloved companion of the mysterious man, AZ. The upcoming game\u2019s title just so happens to include the backward spelling of AZ, so it would make sense if the character and his Eternal Flower Floette were featured in Legends: Z-A. And if Floette gets an eternal form, what\u2019s stopping them from giving other \u2018mons the same special treatment? This could even serve as a substitute for regional forms in Z-A, giving these eternal Pok\u00e9mon access to new typings, abilities, moves, and possible evolutions. After all, it\u2019s always exciting to see certain Pok\u00e9mon thrive with new forms and tricks up their sleeve. Alternatively, I could also see this special form being reserved for the original Floette and the three Gen VI Legendary Pok\u00e9mon\u2014Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde. Legends: Arceus did something similar by giving Dialga and Palkia new Origin formes to match Giratina, so we can expect the Gen VI Legendaries to get some love. You could argue Xerneas is already one of the most broken Pok\u00e9mon with its signature Geomancy move, but I\u2019d still love to see how creative Game Freak could get with new Legendary forms.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pokemon-Charizard-Mega-Evolutions.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146"}],"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=1218146"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1218166,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146\/revisions\/1218166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1218148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1218146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The Pok\u00e9mon Company has only released one trailer for Legends: Z-A so far, and all we know for sure is the game will center around the redevelopment of Lumiose, one of the biggest cities in the Kalos region. The trailer also teased the return of Gen VI\u2019s Mega Evolution mechanic, prompting fans to predict which Pok\u00e9mon may receive new Mega Evolutions, with Charizard, Flygon, and Incineroar as top picks. Alongside new Mega Evolutions, it\u2019s safe to assume we\u2019ll be getting new evolutions or forms of existing Pok\u00e9mon in Legends: Z-A, whether it\u2019s regional forms, convergent species, or something new altogether. Today, one player suggested \u201ceternal forms\u201d could make an appearance in Z-A, and they even showed off the intriguing concept in artwork posted on Instagram to go with the cool idea. The art features a handful of Gen VI Pok\u00e9mon, including Greninja and Sylveon, with a red, blue, black, and white aesthetic. The concept stems from the Eternal Flower Floette from X and Y. The uncatchable Floette variant was part of Kalos lore as the beloved companion of the mysterious man, AZ. The upcoming game\u2019s title just so happens to include the backward spelling of AZ, so it would make sense if the character and his Eternal Flower Floette were featured in Legends: Z-A. And if Floette gets an eternal form, what\u2019s stopping them from giving other \u2018mons the same special treatment? This could even serve as a substitute for regional forms in Z-A, giving these eternal Pok\u00e9mon access to new typings, abilities, moves, and possible evolutions. After all, it\u2019s always exciting to see certain Pok\u00e9mon thrive with new forms and tricks up their sleeve. Alternatively, I could also see this special form being reserved for the original Floette and the three Gen VI Legendary Pok\u00e9mon\u2014Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde. Legends: Arceus did something similar by giving Dialga and Palkia new Origin formes to match Giratina, so we can expect the Gen VI Legendaries to get some love. You could argue Xerneas is already one of the most broken Pok\u00e9mon with its signature Geomancy move, but I\u2019d still love to see how creative Game Freak could get with new Legendary forms.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Pokemon-Charizard-Mega-Evolutions.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146"}],"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=1218146"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1218166,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218146\/revisions\/1218166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1218148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1218146"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1218146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
