Big news from today’s Pokémon Presents event! The upcoming game Pokémon Legends: Z-A will bring back Mega Evolutions — and not just the old ones. We’re also getting new Mega Pokémon, starting with one that fans have wanted for years: Mega Dragonite!
Mega Evolutions Are Back
Mega Evolutions were first added in Pokémon X and Y. They let some Pokémon change into a cooler, stronger version of themselves during a fight.
But for the last few years, Mega Evolutions were missing from the main games. Now, they’re finally coming back — and they’ll be a big part of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which comes out on October 16 for both the Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2.
Mega Dragonite – Finally!
Today’s big surprise was Mega Dragonite! Dragonite has always been a favorite among players, and now it’s getting a Mega Evolution for the first time.
Even though we don’t know its full look or abilities yet, fans can’t wait to see more .It’s likely to be stronger and maybe even look completely different.
More New Mega Pokémon Coming
Mega Dragonite is just the beginning. The game will include more brand-new Mega Evolutions — for Pokémon from different generations. That means lots of surprises are still coming!
And since the game is set in Kalos — the same region where Mega Evolutions first began — it’s the perfect place to bring them back.
Fans are excited because :
Battles become more fun and intense when Mega Evolutions happen.
Fans have always waited for Dragonite getting a Mega form.
New Mega Pokemon will bring new strategies and cool designs!!
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is already looking like a huge game for Pokémon fans. And with more reveals coming soon, who knows what other Pokémon will get Mega Evolutions next?
