SPOILERS! Legends ZA Data Dumps - Adding Info to OP
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
I think its funny how all of Zygarde's forms are just norse mythology and then Mega is just "fuck all that shit I have a big ass gun"
I have my expectations pretty low, but I really want Mega Meganium to be the next big glowup since Charizard got op megas. She's needed this for almost 20 years guys...

Mega Scolipede looks so fire
Complete and utter Yung Dramps victory. Mission accomplished, game of the year. Never doubted since day 1.
Im so happy it looks good cause I was so excited for this one omg
Make that image your pfp
Depends on how self-sufficient its damage is. If it really needs a free turn to Swords Dance anyway, I could see delaying the Mega during that turn over spending the extra moveslot on Protect.
Assuming that Scolipede-Mega is even offensively oriented. Considering its picked up the colour scheme of its higher-defense pre-evolution, that's not a guarantee.
When one of the first actual trailers for ZA was posted you posted something like "this looks amazing and I couldn't ask for anything more" and I almost, almost, posted "you don't dare dream of a mega drampa??" and then the megas leaked and I kicked myself for not making the joke when it would have been a wild prediction. :p
From the descriptions mega drampa was one of the megas I was interested in and hoped would stick the landing. If this image is legit it's looking good so far. The other mega currently slated for a team slot is Falinks, so looking forward to seeing that.
full hd footage of drampa mega evolving is now out there btw. Not gonna post it because it has a cringe "watermark" but I don't even really care because he is just so mesmerizing and beautiful. Life is good and just and true.
pokemon game with starter tepig and adult emma and mega drampa with the mascot legendary being a getter robo. How the fuck did this happen why did they make a Pokemon game literally exclusively targeted at me
Eh, not necessarly. Mega Blaziken keeps Speed Boost when mega evolving, I don't see why scolipede can't also keep it.
Considering it gets a lot more armored, it may simply gain massive bulk on evolving, which would encourage a setup oriented gameplan (idk, click sword dance, unga bunga with increased bulk)
They do care about "starter trios" getting largely equal treatment, that said, with Legends games specifically you have to view the mixed-and-matched starter trios not as a mixed trio of starters from other regions, but rather as their own separate proper trios of starters. This applies with both Arceus and Z-A.
Which means that Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott are a formal trio of starters in and of themselves, and their Hisuian final forms, Hisuian Decidueye, Hisuian Typhlosion, and Hisuian Samurott are a trio with each other specifically, as the starter trio of the Hisui region. The same will apply here with Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile, especially with Mega Meganium, Mega Emboar, and Mega Feraligatr, which while a different design type from regional forms, these Megas together are a trio with each other specifically, as the starter trio of Z-A Lumiose City. Hisuian Decidueye/Typhlosion/Samurott and Mega Meganium/Emboar/Feraligatr are individual trios in and of themselves, separate from their regions' original trios of Torterra/Infernape/Empoleon and Chesnaught/Delphox/Greninja which are still trios with one another but serve different roles in the Legends games compared to their original games.
Legends games muddle the waters a little, but you are supposed to take the "mixed" starter trios who function as Arceus and Z-A's formal first partners for the games as their own trios of starters in their own right, unrelated to their original regions and original trios.
emboar won so fucking hard its not even funny. i won so fucking hard.
NGL, this looks way lamer than I was envisioning
OK so how this works is the top clamps down like an "upper jaw" while it extends its arms forward to be the "lower jaw"
That's...definitely a gamefreak "make them a little weird, and a little uncool" design alright.
Well it’s over
I dunno, it might look kinda cool with the helmet down. But it looks so big and awkward when it’s sticking up.
I saw this picture and it does look a bit better in this pose. I guess its arms might mimic the lower jaw, which I guess is neat.
So, I can see how the spikes on its arms act as the “teeth” of the lower jaw, but I think I’m really just struggling to get traction on this concept as a whole. What could this idea possibly have been based in? Megas don’t usually go for this wide of a leap.
It feels like a repurposed concept for a Druddigon mega. Red head and red arm spikes? That's a Druddigon thing.
Maybe they felt a more normal mega would look too much like some random fan design? There's a lot of those out there for Feraligatr, and we know they care about that for some reason.
"Crocos & alligators have really big jaws" -> "what if ferligatr had a really big jaw" -> "but that would require a pretty big design shift" -> "a goofy hoody that pretends to be a really big jaw"
