New teaser brings a wrestling showdown — and Mega Hawlucha’s grand debut
The Pokémon Company has revealed a brand-new teaser video for Pokémon Legends Z-A, this time showcasing a flashy “Hawlucha VS Machamp” showdown.
The teaser, premiering on August 28th, 2025, promises a mega-sized wrestling match between the luchador-inspired Hawlucha and the powerhouse Machamp. Fans are already speculating that the teaser will continue the atmospheric, cryptic marketing style of previous Z-A teasers, while also leaning into the wrestling theme that both Pokémon embody.
A Mega Matchup
The teaser doesn’t just highlight a battle of strength and style—it also sets the stage for a brand-new reveal. Shortly after the teaser dropped, The Pokémon Company confirmed that Mega Hawlucha will make its grand debut in Pokémon Legends Z-A.
In a dramatic clash against Machamp, Mega Hawlucha entered the ring, showcasing a bold new look that amplifies its luchador flair. The form features sharper wing patterns, brighter plumage, and a more commanding stance, befitting its role as a spotlight fighter. This marks the second Generation VI Pokémon to gain a new Mega Evolution in Legends Z-A, following the earlier reveal of Mega Victreebel.
What to Expect from Mega Hawlucha
While official stats and abilities haven’t yet been shared, fans are already theorizing how Mega Hawlucha might play in-game. Hawlucha is well known for its unique Fighting/Flying typing and its ability to outmaneuver bulkier opponents with its speed and aerial attacks. A Mega Evolution could push those qualities even further, potentially boosting its Attack and Speed to make it a formidable sweeper.
Given its wrestling theme, Mega Hawlucha is expected to play a central role in Z-A’s unique promotional campaign, where teasers resemble sports entertainment more than traditional gameplay trailers.
