Pokemon Legends: Z-A Art Reveals Interesting Mega Scizor Detail

by

Summary

  • Pokemon Legends: Z-A will heavily focus on Mega Evolutions, including Mega Scizor.
  • The game’s official box art shows Mega Scizor flying, contradicting prior game lore.
  • Fans wonder if this means Mega Scizor might receive new abilities in Legends: Z-A.

Fans have pointed out that the cover art of “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” shows a flying Mega Scizor, which contradicts earlier Pokemon games suggesting it cannot fly. The upcoming game is expected to emphasize Mega Evolutions and has been confirmed for release on Nintendo Switch this October 16th.

Ever since its debut in Pokemon X and Y, Mega Scizor has been a beloved choice among fans from all Gen 2 Mega Evolutions. Unlike its ancestor, Scyther, which is a dual Bug/Flying type, Mega Scizor is a Bug/Steel type. Its inability to fly has been emphasized since the early games (Gen 2, 3, and 4), with Scizor’s Pokedex entries stating that it flaps its wings not for flying but to regulate its body temperature. Thus, it’s commonly accepted that Mega Scizor cannot fly. Yet, some fans have brought up a recent official Pokemon artwork that seems to challenge this notion.

Reddit user Proxer noted an intriguing detail from the box art of Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Mega Scizor appears to engage in an aerial battle with Noivern, hinting at flight capabilities. A fan questioned whether this meant Mega Scizor could actually fly. Proxer suggested that the Scyther evolution line is known for using its wings for quick dashes rather than flight. This detail in the Pokemon Legends: Z-A art sparked a discussion among commenters about whether Bug/Steel Pokemon might acquire new abilities or not. Some users pointed out instances of Scizor hovering in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and jumping high in Pokken Tournament and the Pokemon animated series, but others believed that if Mega Scizor could fly in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, it would be a fitting skill for the winged pocket monster.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Box Cover Art Suggests Mega Scizor Can Fly

In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the combat system will undergo significant changes compared to earlier versions. Instead of being confined to set positions, Pokemon can now roam freely within the battlefield. Distance or range will significantly impact successful attacks, making for an intriguing gameplay experience as we consider how flying Pokemon will adapt in these new scenarios.

In addition to Mega Scizor, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is reintroducing several Mega Evolutions, such as Lucario, Absol, and Charizard’s. There are whispers that the game might introduce new Mega forms for various Pokemon, potentially including Mega Meganium, Mega Feraligatr, and Mega Emboar if the rumors prove true.

Although Pokemon Legends: Z-A is yet to arrive in a few months, there’s a Pokemon Presents event set for July 22. This event should offer additional insights into the game, such as its gameplay dynamics, characters, and the central hub of Lumiose City.
