After revealing Mega Dragonite last month, The Pokemon Company has now pulled back the curtain on another new Mega Evolution. In a new teaser video for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we’ve now gotten our first official look at Mega Victreebel. The existence of Mega Victreebel was leaked earlier this year, so this isn’t a huge surprise overall. In fact, it looks quite a bit like the descriptions we’ve previously heard. However, this is the first time we’ve actually gotten a chance to see what it looks like. Readers can check it out in the trailer below.
How Many New Mega Evolutions Will There Be?
At this time, it’s unclear exactly how many new Mega Evolutions will be introduced in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but leaks suggest we’ll be seeing 27 in total. The reveal of Mega Victreebel makes just two that have been announced so far, which means we could have a lot more to see between now and October. Of course, it’s possible The Pokemon Company will be keeping many of the Mega Evolutions quiet until after the game is released, to maintain some level of surprise. With the game officially less than two months away, we can probably expect to see some similar reveals before launch, even if we don’t get to see all of them.
Over the last 12 years, Mega Evolution has become a really beloved part of The Pokemon franchise, despite largely disappearing from the mainline games. It certainly helps that Mega Evolution has remained a major part of Pokemon Go, and it will be interesting to see how long it takes before some of the new Mega Evolutions make their way to the mobile game, as well. It’s worth noting that Pokemon Go players are still waiting on some of the Mega Evolutions that made their debut in past games, including both versions of Mega Mewtwo. However, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if we saw Mega Dragonite or Mega Victreebel show up in the mobile game before that.
