Trailer confirms Mega Raichu forms and Kalos starter Megas returning
The Pokémon Company has officially revealed a brand-new wave of content for Pokémon Legends Z-A, including both a paid expansion and several long-awaited Mega Evolutions. The news came as part of a brand-new trailer showcasing the DLC and new Pokémon forms.
Mega Dimension DLC Announced
Pokémon Legends Z-A will receive a paid DLC titled “Mega Dimension”, set to expand the game with new story elements, additional content, and exclusive Mega Evolutions. Headlining the reveal was the long-rumored Mega Raichu, which will come in not just one, but two different forms: Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.
- Mega Raichu X emphasizes physical strength and electric-charged melee combat.
- Mega Raichu Y takes a sleeker, special attack-oriented form, highlighting its speed and ranged power.
This marks the first time Pikachu’s evolution has received a Mega form, answering years of speculation from fans.
Kalos Starters Return With Mega Evolutions
In addition to the DLC, the trailer also confirmed that the three Kalos starter evolutions—Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja—will each receive their own Mega Evolution within the base game.
- Mega Chesnaught gains enhanced defenses and a more imposing armored design.
- Mega Delphox channels mystical firepower with new wand-like flames.
- Mega Greninja, one of the most popular starters of all time, returns with a battle-ready upgrade fans have been anticipating since the days of Ash-Greninja.
This reveal ties neatly into Pokémon Legends Z-A’s Kalos setting, with the return of Mega Evolution serving as a key theme of the game.
What’s Next
The reveal of Mega Dimension DLC suggests that Z-A will continue to expand beyond launch, much like Pokémon Sword and Shield with its Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra expansions. Fans can likely expect:
- New Mega Evolutions beyond those already shown.
- Additional Legendary or Mythical Pokémon tied to Kalos’ lore.
- Expanded post-game or side quests connected to the Mega Dimension storyline.
With Pokémon Legends Z-A already confirmed for release in 2025, and Pokémon HOME compatibility planned for 2026, the announcement of DLC this early indicates The Pokémon Company is setting the stage for a major multi-year support cycle.
