Wolfe Glick, Pokémon pros fear one Starter will get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon Legends Z-A

The biggest surprise of the Feb. 27 Pokémon Presents was the announcement of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, taking place in Lumiose City of Gen VI’s Kalos region. The trailer teased the return of Mega Evolution and Pokémon pros are already worried that a certain Starter might get a Mega buff.

The Pokémon community has already begun theorizing about all the possibilities with the upcoming Legends: Z-A game, but the one aspect that many competitive players are focusing on is the return of the Mega Evolution mechanic. First introduced in Gen VI, Mega Evolution was a game-changer for the main series games, blessing a handful of lucky Pokémon with temporary evolutions. This was a huge buff for otherwise mediocre ‘mons like Kangaskhan and Mawile as they were given better stats and Abilities.
