Pokémon Legends Z-A's Latest Mega Evolution Looks Particularly Snazzy

More Mega Evolutions, you love to see it! Now Diancie is not the only Gen 6 Mega anymore.

Mad the generation that added Megas is only just now getting them.

Anyway, this is exactly what Megas should be. Pokemon that could use the boost, and instead of slapping spikes all over, take the design to its logical conclusion.

No, the Megas added in Gen 6 were largely not needed, there to sell merch, and were overdesigned.

@Hapless They've revealed three. The game is out in 7-8 weeks. At one a week there is plenty left under wraps, believe me.

+50 points to Attack stat. +50 points to Speed stat. That's my prediction.

So they should just make an arcade-y pokemon wrestling game.

About time Hawlucha got some love. Would I prefer they got an actual, permanent evolution? Yeah. Is this still cool though? Yeah!

Always liked Hawlucha and this mega looks really cool

Definitely will be on my team

I'm still truly not a fan of mega evolutions as a mechanic, but the designs for them tend to be pretty cool. This one is no different. Very nice design!

I like it. What I like about the Megas is that it's like GF looked at some of the older designs and thought 'ok, if we were to redesign this Pokémon, how would it look?' Give Dragonite more Dragonair features, make Slowbro look more goofy akin to Slowpokes more aloof look

In terms of how how frequently TPCi doing these reveals, I think it's worth keeping in mind that they have to deal a significant issue since the 3DS days- leakers. It happened when the Sun and Moon demo got datatmined revealing most of the Pokédex, we had that one outlet who leaked Sword and Shields contents via a guide, you have people like Centro who brazenly leak info, the Tera Leak had an incomplete build which someone is going through. When you're TPCi and you see that, what can you do? I know they've tried taking action for it (Centro gets very arrogant and smug about it too). I would agree they showed too much during the lead up to Gen 7 but I think they've reigned it back since then and I don't blame them for not doing downloadable demos. I think the main upset should be aimed at leakers ruining surprises. That said, with Pokémon you're danged if you do, danged if you don't. Show too much and people will say you're spoiling everything, show too little and some will say they've hardly shown anything.

For anyone worried they're showing things too much, by the sounds of it you won't have to worry about all the Megas being shown before release.

(Full disclosure- I don't work for TPCi so I can't talk 😜)

Not a huge transformation but one that keeps true to it's nature and design. I like it!

I've never liked Hawlucha. However this is purely due to personal taste and not hatred of the base design. So congrats to Hawlucha fans.

Plus at least we FINALLY got a mega that didn't feel like a troll move. It actually looks like a powered up form, which is what I want from mega forms.

The more I see about PLZA, the more charming and interesting it gets. Pokemon may never look like the prettiest game, but they do excel at raw fun and enjoyment.

I thought the design looked not so great in the trailer and I was so sad...

But the in-game screenshots look so much better! Actually a very cool mega!

This looks so cool, honestly my favorite new Mega so far! The other two are cool as well, but did look a bit more goofy than I expected.

It's a great design. Loved that video. I wish matches actually looked like that. Do their moves actually act similar to how they are portrayed in this video? I haven't played a game for a long while.

@Hapless there's going to be more 3 megas in the game i can confirm. Even more than 6, even triple that 9, even more.

So Hawlucha became Rey Misterio? Sorry, I don't know much about wrestling and that's the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw the mask colors.
With that said, I love that Hawlucha is getting a Mega Evolution, but as others have said, I wish it also got an actual Evolution. Call it Maskle (mask + muscle) if you have to.

As an aside, I would've loved to have Hawlucha as the wrestling Pokémon in Smash Bros. and not Incineroar. Nothing against good ol' Gaogaen but I feel Hawlucha being Flying-type could've made for a more interesting moveset. That and the fact it's semi representation of my country and I could pretend it to be Tizoc from Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

“Those eggs were a lie, Steven. A LIE! They give me no eagle powers! They give me no nutrients!”

Wish they kept the sparkling gold from the trailer in the actual in-game design but still super in love with the design. Almost 100% sure he'll be earning a place on my team. Can't wait.

I’m noticing that France doesn’t look very French. Expedition 33 had the same issue. I hope the final game doesn’t have that issue.

If I'm getting this game (big if, so far) Hawlucha will be one of my team picks!

Is that a feather you got there Mega Hawlucha, or are you just happy to see me?

This is the first normal Gen 6 to have a Mega, right?

This is gonna be such a fan favourite. Easily the sexiest Mega Evolution reveal so far, and perhaps even arguably, of all.

I have to say that for someone that waited for Hawlucha's mega evolution for years, I don't feel as positive as others. I don't hate it, it's just that it looks like the normal one with a mask and shoulder pads on as well as the feather belt (that one was a nice touch). Original design already looked like a mask and like it's natural colors more. I'm still happy tho.

I think it looks pretty cool. I like every new evolution so far.

Of the 3 reveals so far. Hawlucha got the best looking Mega.

@Fizza Hawlucha is my favorite mon of all time! I was concerned that I would hate the design before the reveal, but I think it's pretty solid. GameFreak didn't overdo it this time, and Mega Hawlucha looks like it could have been a natural evolution to base Hawlucha (now that I mention it, that's what should have happened, lol).

@Zeebor15 Right, the only one before this was the mythical Diancie

@VoidPunk sir, this is Kalos

I’m slowly becoming more and more intrested to pick this game up. Haven’t enjoyed a Pokemon title since Sun and Moon.

@RupeeClock we all know that pokemon considers "tanking attacks" as a sometimes useful ability like battle armor. and look at that costume, its going to get battle armor in the pokemon home update. BUT maybe it can get fur coat instead. would be an amazing urshifu counter with either ability though.

@slowpoke_tail i just hate that a mega evo basically means "this pokemon will never evolve because only final stage mons can mega evlve" so RIP to absol and houndoom (still bitter dex entry 666 wasnt a three headed hellhound evolution for houndoom)

dont let this distract you from the fact that the kalos starters are probably not getting a mega yet but i assume that eventually every starter will have a mega.
