Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Hawlucha is a Good Exception to One Rule

In various versions of Pokemon prior to “Pokemon Legends: Z-A”, the concept of Mega Evolution often involved altering or adding types to a Pokemon, like turning Mewtwo into Psychic/Fighting with Mega Mewtwo X or making Charizard a Fire/Dragon with Mega Charizard X. This mid-battle type switching was significant as it made the Mega Evolutions stand out visually and strategically, offering unique matchup possibilities. However, interestingly, “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” chose not to modify Hawlucha’s type line, which sets it apart from other Pokemon even more distinctively.
