During yesterday\u2019s Nintendo Direct, Pok\u00e9mon announced that the three Kalosian starter evolutions – Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught – are finally getting Mega Evolutions in Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A. However, the livestream fails to mention the hoops that hopeful trainers need to jump through to claim these new forms.<\/p>\n
I always find it very strange that, despite the gimmick\u2019s introduction in Pok\u00e9mon X and Y, until Mega Hawlucha\u2019s reveal, only one gen 6 Pok\u00e9mon has a Mega Evolution within the 3DS era. The latest Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A trailer shows off the Kalosian starter Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s long-awaited transformations, but it isn’t until further information drops that we can learn how to unlock them.<\/p>\n
It would be one thing if the required Mega Stones were locked behind Mystery Gift distribution, as this leaves out trainers who don\u2019t have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. It would suck, but the vast majority of Pok\u00e9mon players pay for the service to take part in raids and claim these gifts. No, Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A takes things one step further and has made Geninjite, Delphoxite, and Chesnaughtite only available as Z-A Battle Club rewards.<\/p>\n
