Palworld Fans Think 1 Pal is a Better Mega Dragonite Than the One We Actually Got

by

Players have noticed a strong resemblance between the Pal Quivern in Palworld and Mega Dragonite from Pokémon, with some arguing that Palworld‘s design is actually better. Despite the legal issues surrounding Palworld – specifically accusations of copying Pokémon mechanics – many fans enjoy both games. This has led to frequent comparisons between creatures from each franchise, with players debating which designs are more appealing.

The recent reveal of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A has sparked debate about the designs, particularly Mega Dragonite. Since its appearance in a trailer, Mega Dragonite has been a point of contention for some Pokemon fans. Now, players of Palworld are suggesting that a creature called Quivern more closely resembles the Mega Dragonite design they believe would have been a better fit for Legends: Z-A.

Palworld Fans Argue That Quivern Makes a Better Mega Dragonite Than the One in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

A user on the Palworld subreddit, Libertyprime8397, posted a comparison image of the Palworld creature Quivern and the Pokémon Mega Dragonite. They expressed disappointment with Mega Dragonite’s final design, feeling Quivern executed the idea of angelic wings as a head motif more effectively. The user even suggested Quivern could easily be reimagined as a regional variant of Dragonite with a simple color change.

Mega Dragonite Has Been One of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Most Controversial New Additions

When Mega Dragonite was first revealed for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, fans had very different reactions to its design. A lot of people appreciated that it included details from earlier Dragonite forms, like the longer, pearl-tipped tail inspired by Dragonair. However, the wings on its head proved to be controversial. While these wings were a nod to Dragonair, many fans felt they didn’t quite fit with the overall look of Mega Dragonite and seemed awkwardly placed. Some fans even created their own versions of the design, sharing how they would improve it.

Palworld’s Quivern is One of the Game’s Most Popular Pals

Unlike Mega Dragonite, Quivern has quickly become a fan favorite in Palworld. Many players shared their affection for it in a post by user Libertyprime8397. As a boss Pal, players already have a memorable encounter with Quivern during gameplay, which helps them connect with it. Plus, many Palworld players feel its design is more creative than recent Pokémon designs, making it a popular choice among the community.

With the full release of Palworld expected in 2026, developer Pocketpair is focused on improving an already popular game that rivals Pokemon. A recent Reddit post by Libertyprime8397 shows fans are really impressed with the creature designs – so much so that some, like Quivern, are being compared favorably to classic Pokemon like Dragonite, which is a great sign for the game’s future.
