"Mega Evolutions are coming back in Pokémon Legends: Z-A . These powerful, temporary transformations are one of the most popular battle gimmicks in the RPG series, and not only is giving Pokémon the chance to Mega Evolve into their old forms again, it's also giving some new Mega forms to Pokémon who didn't get them the first time around. These forms typically exaggerate traits possessed by the original Pokémon, but some are definitely more compelling than others."
"It pains me to put my girl Latias at the bottom of this list, and it pains me even more to have to lump her into one entry with her brother Latios because Game Freak made the two jet plane dragons identical in their Mega forms. The pair's blue and red color schemes merge into a uniform purple, and the only real difference between the two is their eye color. A real missed opportunity to diverge them more rather than making them the same."
"It's a good thing Mewtwo got two Mega forms, and one is pretty good, because Mega Mewtwo X's bulkier frame looks extremely off on the typically sleek psychic-type legendary. Pinsir Mega Pinsir looks like the kind of unidentifiable bug I would have seen flying around the woods while living in the Georgia boonies, and for that, I think it should be squished."
Mega Evolutions are returning in Pokémon Legends: Z-A as temporary, powerful transformations that include returning classics and new forms for Pokémon that previously lacked them. These transformations often exaggerate original traits, producing a wide range of quality across design, lore implications, and competitive viability. Some Megas have become iconic and synonymous with their Pokémon, while others are unpopular or forgotten. Over fifty Mega Evolutions exist so far, and rankings will change as additional forms are revealed. Specific criticisms include identical Mega forms for Latios and Latias, an awkward bulky Mega Mewtwo X, a strangely insectile Mega Pinsir, and a cartoonishly redrawn Mega Sharpedo.
