Alright, so there’s this buzz going around about Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Apparently, some surprise Mega Evolutions are leaked for the next game. Honestly, it’s kind of a mixed bag. Why? Well, there’s this odd trend where getting a Mega can be more of a curse than a blessing. Like, it stops these Pokémon from evolving in a cooler, new regional way later on. But hey, four of these leaked Megas could actually dodge that problem… just not how you’d expect.
Most of these critters getting a Mega? It’s good news for them. Mega Evolution basically amps up their stats, making them go from “eh” to “wow” in battles. But there’s a catch. If they weren’t fully evolved before the Mega? They might get stuck—no fancy new evolutions down the line.
So, can we talk about these four Pokémon that are getting Megas? Skarmory, Falinks, Drampa, and Hawlucha. Each of them is like a one-step evolution sort of deal. I mean, they’re already decent fighters but could use a little boost to hit the big leagues. The Mega form could be their golden ticket. Although, remember Mawile or Kangaskhan? Yeah, they went from being “meh” to suddenly “too much”—and then boom—back to “meh” when Mega Evolution got sidelined after Gen 8. Funny how that works, right?
Even if these Megas won’t become full evolutions, they might still break the ‘curse.’ How? With a twist of adding pre-evolutions. It’s like, a workaround where they still get a bit more oomph without breaking the Mega rules. Okay, remember Skarmory from Gen 2? People have been dreaming up baby forms for ages. These pre-evolutions wouldn’t change the game instantly but, you know, it sets them up for a future evolution revolution—if I can call it that.
Imagine Skarmory and Drampa with pre-evolutions that add just a bit more power—like Arcanine or Lucario. Yeah, 50 more base stat points could really up their game. But, Pokémon Legends: Z-A probably isn’t the place for new baby critters, aside from the Mega forms. Still, it’s sort of like laying down the tracks for future games to bring it all together.
I guess we’ll see how it all shakes out when the game drops. But yeah, it’s got some potential. Who wouldn’t want to see these Pokémon really evolve… in some way or another?
