Pokemon Presents July 2025 Major Takeaways
Here are the five major announcements from this livestream:
- Pokemon Legends ZA – Mega Dragonite
- Pokemon Go Max Raids
- Pokemon Concierge
- Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
- Pokemon Champions
Pokemon Legends ZA – Mega Dragonite
The highlight of this stream would definitely be this. Legends ZA was the final thing shown at the event, as it is likely the most anticipated upcoming project from Pokemon. The trailer showcased a lot of new mechanics and gave us story beats on what to expect from the game. However, the standout from this trailer would definitely be a new Mega Evolution form for the Generation 1 Pokemon, Dragonite.

The design seems to give Dragonite a lot of features from its pre-evolution, Dragonair. The wings are present on the head, while the tail has a bulb formation.
Dragonite getting a Mega Evolution is special for lots of reasons. Firstly, it is because of its name. The Mega Stones for Pokemon have the ‘ite’ affix attached to them. Therefore, if this trend holds up, then Dragonite’s corresponding stone would be named ‘Dragoniteite’. Apart from this, other pseudo-legendaries (like Metagross and Tyranitar) received Mega Evolutions, so Dragonite fans would definitely feel left out.

Pokemon Concierge Second Season
Netflix’s stop-motion series called Pokemon Concierge was one of the first announcements made in the event. If you enjoyed the first season of Haru and the Pokemon Resort, then you will probably appreciate this announcement.
The Presents showed a trailer for the second season of the same, while also providing us with a release date. The new episodes will be available on Netflix starting on September 4, 2025.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Tera Raid Battles
A series of Tera Raid battles will kick off in Scarlet and Violet starting tomorrow. This event will see you face off against the Shiny versions of the four Treasures of Ruin. These are:
- Wo-Chie
- Chien-Pao
- Ting-Liu
- Chi-Yu
The event will start from July 23, 2025, and end at September 14, 2025. However, there is a catch. These Pokemon must be defeated one million times in total (by all the players combined) so that you can add them to your collection.
Pokemon Champions
A lot of information about the upcoming battling game, Pokemon Champions, was showcased. The video showed off how you can acquire new Pokemon, and even train them freely while adjusting their stats as you please. Additionally, players will also be able to choose between singles and double battles.
The game will be released sometime in 2026 for the Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. Those were the five major takeaways from the July 2025 Pokemon Presents livestream. What were you most excited about?
