- New Pokémon Legends: Z-A video release
A video showcasing the latest information about the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game is now available. Please check it out.
Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja Mega Evolutions
Released in 2013, Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja first appeared in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games. New Mega Evolutions—evolved forms that transcend standard Evolution—of these three Pokémon have now been discovered.
Mega Chesnaught, the Mega Evolution of the Spiny Armor Pokémon, Chesnaught,
As a result of Mega Evolution, portions of its outer shell have transformed into shield-like pieces of shoulder armor. It can also remove one of these shields from its shoulders and wield it as a weapon.
Get to Know Mega Chesnaught, the Mega Evolution of the Spiny Armor Pokémon, Chesnaught
Its hardened armor boasts high defensive capabilities. When Mega Chesnaught moves to attack, this armor becomes a powerful weapon with which to smash opponents.
Mega Chesnaught
Category: Spiny Armor Pokémon
Type: Grass/Fighting
Height: 5'3" (1.6 m)
Weight: 198.4 lbs. (90 kg)
A hardened outer shell greatly bolsters its defenses
Energy from Mega Evolution has been channeled into its outer shell and throughout its body, resulting in a dramatic increase in its defensive capabilities. The fur on its body has also grown and can act as an impact-absorbing cloak. Confident that it can withstand any sort of attack, it possesses a steadfast spirit and always remains levelheaded.
Its shield-like shoulder armor transforms into mighty, destructive weapons
When it removes a piece of its incredibly tough shoulder armor, spikes extend from the shield to form an axe-like weapon with a long handle. This weapon’s shield-turned-axe-head is too heavy to easily wield one-handed—even with Mega Chesnaught’s brute strength—but a two-handed grip lets Mega Chesnaught leverage the weapon with exact precision to beat down its foes.
Mega Delphox, the Mega Evolution of the Fox Pokémon, Delphox
As a result of Mega Evolution, it now appears as though it is perpetually floating atop a large tree branch.
Along with moves that use the two lit branches floating alongside it, it can also attack using flames that it spits from its mouth.
Get to Know Mega Delphox, the Mega Evolution of the Fox Pokémon, Delphox!
It uses psychic powers to confuse opponents, making for a tricky fighting style that allows it to unerringly deal damage.
Mega Delphox
Category: Fox Pokémon
Type: Fire/Psychic
Height: 4'11'' (1.5 m)
Weight: 86 lbs. (39 kg)
It uses its psychic powers to manipulate branches and mesmerize opponents
Its psychic abilities have been enhanced. Mega Delphox controls two branches that float by its side. It moves these branches as if they were brought to life by its magic, leaving onlooking opponents bewildered. It also floats atop a large lit branch, dazzling its foes even further. In contrast to its disoriented opponents, Mega Delphox stays calm and collected as it deals damage by landing precise attacks.
After confusing opponents with crafty attacks, it incinerates them with scorching flames
Mega Delphox attacks its foes by skillfully coordinating its moves in tandem with the two lit branches floating nearby. And there’s more! These seemingly autonomous flames don’t just confuse the opponent—they can also be combined with the flames Mega Delphox spits from its mouth, forming a huge fireball that engulfs and burns its targets.
Mega Greninja, the Mega Evolution of the Ninja Pokémon, Greninja
Get to Know Mega Greninja, the Mega Evolution of the Ninja Pokémon, Greninja!
It uses its incredible reflexes to launch attacks at opponents, distracting them with the sight of it clinging to a gigantic water shuriken.
Mega Greninja
Category: Ninja Pokémon
Type: Water/Dark
Height: 4'11'' (1.5 m)
Weight: 88.2 lbs. (40 kg)
Despite being a Ninja Pokémon, it forgoes stealth to make full use of its uncannily sharpened reflexes
Unleashing the energy of Mega Evolution has dramatically improved Mega Greninja’s reflexes. It intentionally reveals itself to push opponents into attacking. Then, it detects their incoming attacks and moves so swiftly that it’s able to strike first. Normally, Greninja would appear in a flash and disappear like a ninja. Now that it has Mega Evolved, it no longer bothers to hide itself, demonstrating to opponents its confidence that it will win.
Clinging upside down to a gigantic and rapidly spinning water shuriken
It clings upside down to a giant floating water shuriken that was created from a gel-like membrane secreted from its body. Opponents caught off guard by its surprising appearance are then wrapped up in its long tongue and prevented from attacking. It charges toward immobilized opponents to attack with its gigantic and rapidly spinning shuriken.
Obtain Mega Stones by Pitting Your Skills Against Trainers around the world in the Z-A Battle Club’s Ranked Battles
The Mega Stones required to Mega Evolve Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja can be obtained from the Z-A Battle Club as rewards for battling other Trainers in online Ranked Battles. Ranked Battles offer three types of rewards: battle rewards obtainable after each battle, promotion rewards obtainable upon rising in rank, and season rewards—which vary by rank—obtainable at the end of each season.

Mega Stones for Raichu that appear are among them. Then Mega Raichu X appears! Surrounding itself with electricity, it throws a forceful fist! Mega Raichu Y shows up as well! After nimbly running and dodging, it unleashes mighty bolts of electricity.
Main Visual of Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension Revealed!
The main visual of Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension has been revealed. Depicted in the center is the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa, with two newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon—Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y—on either side.
Spatial Distortions Suddenly Appear in Lumiose City
Mysterious distortions in space have appeared without warning in Lumiose City. They seem to connect to a mysterious space—Hyperspace Lumiose. It looks like the story with Team MZ isn’t over yet!
The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story
Hoopa is a Mythical Pokémon that can warp space using the loops on its horns and around its body. These loops are stretchable, and they can form holes inside them leading to far-off places. Whatever passes through one of its portals can be transported instantaneously. It’s fond of foods that have holes in them—especially donuts.
What role could it play in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension? Please stay tuned for more details.
Category: Mischief Pokémon
Type: Psychic/Ghost
Height: 1'8" (0.5 m)
Weight: 19.8 lbs. (9 kg)
Raichu’s Mega Evolutions—Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y—Have Been Discovered!
Two separate Mega Evolutions of Raichu have been newly discovered. It seems that each Mega Evolutions uses a different Mega Stone. Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y can be encountered by meeting specific conditions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.
Mega Raichu X
Category: Mouse Pokémon
Type: Electric
Height: 3'11" (1.2 m)
Weight: 83.8 lbs. (38 kg)
It floats using electromagnetism and concentrates electricity into its fists to land devastating blows
The repulsion from the electromagnetic force generated by its two tails allows it to float as it moves. Its ample subcutaneous fat can store electric energy, letting it maintain a high electrical output and heightening its defensive capabilities! Using electromagnetism to propel itself swiftly through the air, it can take down opponents several times its size with a single blow of its electrically charged fists. It bears a distinctive resemblance to regular Raichu.
Mega Raichu Y
Category: Mouse Pokémon
Type: Electric
Height: 3'3" (1 m)
Weight: 57.3 lbs. (26 kg)
It strikes with incredible swiftness and bathes foes in the amped-up electric power cycling through its body
Mega Raichu Y’s greatest strength is its ability to unleash its power instantaneously, so it excels in short, decisive battles. The amount of electricity it can generate in the electric sacs on its cheeks has been powered up. The energy generated in these cheek pouches is amplified as it courses in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and the spiky, horn-like fur on its head, letting it unleash powerful electric-type moves. All this electric energy gives it a wild and combative temperament, causing it to eschew tactical maneuvers in favor of a straightforward approach to battling. It bears a distinctive resemblance to Pikachu.
