New Kanto Mega Evolutions in Pokémon
Using special gems, Pokémon can now undergo Mega Evolution. Currently, there are 49 Mega Evolutions, with 26 previously unreleased ones expected to appear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The Pokémon slated for Mega Evolution have been identified, and a comprehensive list is available for fans. Leaks have also revealed descriptions of the designs for these new Mega Evolutions, though the actual visuals remain unconfirmed.

Along with Blastoise, Venusaur, Charizard, and Mewtwo, several other Pokémon like Pidgeot, Beedrill, Scyther, Gengar, and Alakazam will receive Mega Evolutions.
Mega Dragonite has already been confirmed in the latest trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, sparking discussions among players about the chosen design for this Mega Evolution. What about the others? Artist MercuryBall has shared intriguing ideas for Starmie and Victreebel, which could resonate well with fans.
