Pokémon Legends: Z-A locks new Mega Evolutions behind a paywall

During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, Pokémon announced that the three Kalosian starter evolutions – Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught – are finally getting Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

The latest Pokémon Legends: Z-A trailer shows off the Kalosian starter Pokémon’s long-awaited transformations, but it isn’t until further information drops that we can learn how to unlock them.
