Unmasking Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Evolution DLC Hints: The Secret Behind Missing Pairs!

by

Z-A” are only half of a known pair, hinting at possible future DLC for Mega Evolution featuring their counterparts. Although all leaks should be taken with a grain of salt, CentroLeaks, a reputable source for Pokemon leaks, has shared a list of potential Mega Evolutions for “Legends: Z-A”. If these leaked Mega Evolutions are indeed real, it raises curiosity as to why specific creatures are getting new evolutions when they’re already part of an existing duo.

In the rumored 27 Mega Evolutions for the game Pokemon Legends: Z-A, apart from Pokemon like its mascot Legendary Pokemon Zygarde and its starting trio, it seems that some Pokemon do not have their counterparts. Although these pairs aren’t always officially linked, they are often connected due to exclusivity in versions, shared design elements, and similar typing. This bond usually results in Game Freak adjusting these counterparts by introducing new evolutions, forms, or regional variants for balance. However, if the Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Z-A are going to separate so many Pokemon pairs, it’s possible that Game Freak may plan to rebalance these duos with additional Mega Evolutions released as future downloadable content.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Evolutions Might Split Several Pokemon Pairs

Amongst Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, certain pairs of Pokemon have already been granted Mega Evolutions, although these new evolutions were not initially introduced in the same games. For instance, the lineage of Ralts saw both Gardevoir and Gallade receive Mega Evolutions, while others like Pinsir and Heracross, Steelix and Scizor, as well as Legendary Pokemon such as Latios and Latias also benefited from Mega Evolutions. If the leaks from Legends: Z-A turn out to be true, it’s possible that more Pokemon pairs may finally get their long-awaited Mega Evolutions, such as Froslass and Mega Glalie, who are part of a gendered split.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some inside scoop on the upcoming game, “Legends: Z-A”. It seems this new title is going to split up quite a few pairs of Pokémon, an interesting twist indeed! Here’s the catch: out of these splits, only one Pokemon from each pair will be granted Mega Evolutions, according to the list below.

  • Wigglytuff and Mega Clefable
  • Cloyster and Mega Starmie
  • Vileplume and Mega Victreebel
  • Clawitzer and Mega Dragalge
  • Turtonator and Mega Drampa

It’s rather challenging to disregard the large number of Pokemon pairs that have been split and now have their own Mega Evolutions in addition to their existing counterparts, especially when compared to if only one or two had received such transformations. Even considering other possible counterparts like Slowbro’s Slowking and Gyarados’ Milotic, it seems as though Legends: Z-A is intentionally leaving out more Mega Evolutions for these pairs.

Game Freak Might Already Have DLC Plans For Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Given the significant number of Pokemon variants seemingly separated by Mega Evolutions in Legends: Z-A, it’s plausible that Game Freak is considering post-launch expansions, much like they did with Pokemon Sword and Shield, and more recently with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Interestingly, while its precursor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, didn’t receive any DLC, Legends: Z-A has already deviated from several established norms, such as a new battle system or its contemporary, single-city setting. As a result, it’s conceivable that Legends: Z-A may continue to push boundaries with future DLC, potentially introducing even more Mega Evolutions for these remaining Pokemon counterparts.

Pokemon Counterparts Might Not Be So Clear-Cut For Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Although some Pokemon pairs seem straightforward, like Wigglytuff and Clefable, or Turtonator and Drampa, others could be tricky due to their evolutions and relationships within the game world. The Mega Evolutions in “Legends: Z-A” might not address these complexities because of the existence of Mega Evolutions in the series. For example, while Vileplume and Victreebel were once considered a pair in Generation 1, Bellossom’s introduction as a split evolution in Generation 2 could have redefined their relationship, making Bellossom more like Vileplume’s counterpart instead. Since most Pokemon pairs don’t rely on official canon, such as Seviper and Zangoose or Heatmor and Durant, it is possible that Game Freak didn’t intend for “Legends: Z-A”‘s leaked Mega Evolutions to affect so many pairs of Pokemon or accounted for this with future downloadable content.
