Mega Victreebell revealed for Pokémon Legends Z-A as a new Mega Evolution: All the details

The Pokémon Company has officially revealed Mega Victreebel, one of 26 new Mega Evolutions, set to be introduced in Pokémon Legends Z-A, which will release on October 16 for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The gaming firm clearly took some inspiration from the Resident Evil series, as the announcement trailer comes with a found footage-style pseudo-horror theme.

Pokémon Legends Z-A: Mega Victreebel trailer

The Pokémon Company has officially unveiled Mega Victreebel with two trailers. The first one is a sooky teaser, which showcases two trainers finding Mega Victreebel in an abandoned house. Meanwhile, the second one provides the fans with their first look at gameplay with the new Mega Evolution in action. These teasers also confirm that Mega Victreebel is an immensely bloated creature, with vines coiled around its head.

To recall, Victreebel’s character first debuted in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green on the Nintendo Game Boy in 1996. The official description of the trailer suggests, “Introducing Mega Victreebel, the newly discovered Mega Evolution of the Flycatcher Pokémon! This massive Mega-Evolved Pokémon can deliver tackles with destructive force—and the sweet-smelling acid it produces can melt steel!”
