Out of the 48 Mega Evolutions in the franchise before Pokemon Legends Z-A, all but Mega Rayquaza are likely to return in Pokemon Legends Z-A. This information comes from a datamine by @CentroLeaks, who has been known to report on these things with a high level of accuracy. However, as this information is yet to be officially revealed take it with a grain of salt.

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.

We will be updating this article when more and more information on this game as the publisher reveals it. So, get ready to go on an adventure with your favorite Mega Pokemon once again.
