Pokemon Legends Z-A Introduces “Rogue Mega Evolutions”
Ever since Pokemon Sword and Shield, mainline Pokemon games have included a Raid mechanic involving fighting a “Boss Pokemon.” For Legends Z-A, this appears to be “rogue Mega Evolutions.” According to previous lore, Pokemon can only undergo Mega Evolution thanks to the bond with their trainer. However, random Pokemon seem to be doing so in the wild and are causing a lot of destruction which you have to stop.
The trailer indicates that we will team up with other trainers to bring down these wild Mega Pokemon. In addition to this the trailer indicates that the player acquires the means to Mega Evolve the same Pokemon if it is in your party after defeating it.
