Official Pokémon Mega Evolution Website Opens in Japan
The Pokémon Company has launched a brand-new official website in Japan focused entirely on Mega Evolution, one of the most iconic mechanics in the Pokémon franchise.
This dedicated site reintroduces Mega Evolution to longtime fans and newcomers alike, offering a detailed overview of how the transformation works, which Pokémon can Mega Evolve, and the history of the feature since its debut.
A Look Back at Mega Evolution
Mega Evolution was first introduced in Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013. It allowed certain Pokémon to temporarily evolve during battle into more powerful forms using Mega Stones, often gaining new abilities, types, or stat boosts. Fan favorites like Mega Charizard X/Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega Gardevoir became standout examples of the mechanic’s potential.
While Mega Evolution was a central feature of the Kalos region games, it faded from the spotlight in later generations—until now.
Mega Evolution Returns in Pokémon Legends Z-A
With the upcoming launch of Pokémon Legends Z-A on October 16, 2025, Mega Evolution is officially making its return. The timing of the website launch helps build excitement ahead of the game’s release, especially as Legends Z-A takes players back to a futuristic version of Lumiose City, the original heart of the Mega Evolution phenomenon.
Website Highlights
The new Japanese Mega Evolution website includes:
- An overview of the Mega Evolution mechanic
- Visual showcases of various Mega-Evolved Pokémon
- Descriptions of Mega Stones and how they’re used in battle
- A timeline of the mechanic’s evolution across Pokémon games
Fans can explore artwork, battle animations, and detailed info on each Mega Evolution introduced to date. The site serves as both a nostalgic celebration and an informative lead-in to Pokémon Legends Z-A.
You can visit the official site here (Japanese only).
