Why You Shouldn’t Hold Your Breath About This Pokemon Legends: Z-A DLC Rumor

by

Following the successful DLC releases for *Pokemon Sword* and *Shield*, *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* is taking a different approach by revealing upcoming content even before the main game is out. This announcement has sparked mixed reactions from fans, but many are thrilled by the trailer for the “Mega Dimension” DLC, which features a variety of brand-new Mega Stones. While the exact number of Mega Evolutions coming in the post-game content remains a mystery, fans are eagerly discussing what each stone could unlock.

Currently, Raichu X and Y are the only Pokémon whose Mega Evolutions have been shown. Despite some debate surrounding the new DLC, many players are still hopeful that more Pokémon will gain Mega Evolutions in *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*, possibly after completing the main story. The appearance of a specific stone in the game’s trailer has led fans to speculate about Mega Flygon finally being added, as it was left out during the original introduction of Mega Evolution. However, it seems this is unlikely to happen.

Fans often try to figure out which Pokémon a Mega Evolution stone represents by looking at its colors, but they sometimes overlook a crucial detail: Mega Stones usually reflect the colors of the *evolved* form, not the original Pokémon. The trailer for Mega Dimension clearly showed this with both Mega Raichu X and Y. Interestingly, Game Freak actually attempted to create a Mega Flygon for the *Omega Ruby* and *Alpha Sapphire* games back in Generation 6, but ultimately decided against it. The current excitement surrounding Mega Flygon perfectly demonstrates why they might reconsider.

How Mega Flygon Might Put Game Freak in a Pickle That Isn’t Even Worth the Effort

When *Pokémon X* and *Y* introduced Mega Evolution, fans immediately wondered if Flygon, the counterpart to Salamence, would also get a Mega Form. Game Freak, the game developer, actually explored this idea and created some initial designs. Ultimately, they decided against it, not because Flygon wasn’t suitable for Mega Evolution, but because they couldn’t create a design that would live up to the high expectations of fans. According to Ken Sugimori, a key artist on the Pokémon series, Flygon *did* meet the requirements for a Mega Evolution, but no design felt strong enough to satisfy the large number of people hoping for one.

The chances of Mega Flygon becoming a reality are probably even lower now than they were in 2014. A leak from about a year ago revealed that Game Freak considered, and then rejected, a Flying-type evolution for Eevee for *Pokemon Sun* and *Moon* because it was too close to designs fans had already created. While disappointing, this makes sense – Nintendo, Game Freak, or The Pokemon Company could face legal issues if they released a Pokemon that looked too much like a fan’s work. It would be difficult to prove any similarities weren’t intentional, and the fan could potentially sue.

Fans Should Leave Mega Flygon As an Unexpected Surprise Rather Than a Hyped-Up Hope

The intense excitement surrounding a potential Mega Flygon might actually prevent it from becoming a reality. Ever since Mega Evolutions were a major part of the games, fans have wanted to see Mega Flygon, and the brief glimpse of a possible Mega Stone in a trailer has only increased that desire. While fans are free to create whatever they imagine, this growing expectation could ultimately mean Mega Flygon remains just a fan-made concept.

It’s unlikely players will see Flygon in *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* soon. The Mega Stone needed for its evolution could potentially belong to many different Pokémon at this point. Flygon faces a lot of challenges, so its appearance would be a real surprise. For now, Mega Flygon is a possibility, but not a certainty.
