Pokemon Legends: Z-A is finally bringing the fan-favorite Mega Evolution mechanic back after it was originally left behind on the 3DS, and leakers are now claiming that a pretty massive number of new Megas will be joining the lineup, too.
There's a multitude of reasons why Mega Evolutions are so popular, and why their return is so exciting as a result. The powerful, temporary evolved forms of certain Pokemon don't just look cool, but they've given a number of underwhelming 'mons a real opportunity to shine in the past with buffed-up stats, new abilities, and sometimes even new Types. Occasionally, they've also been given to already-powerful Pokemon to make them even more deadly, and hey, that's fun too. In Legends: Z-A's first gameplay trailer, a number of returning Megas were confirmed, including Absol, Altaria, Lucario, Charizard (both X and Y forms), and more.
