Pokemon Legends Z-A may be gearing up to announce Mega Hawlucha

The post features both the Gen VI Hawlucha and Gen I Machamp. We base our speculation that it will be a Mega Hawlucha reveal based on the leaked list of new Mega Evolutions that has been doing the rounds over the past few months. The names on the list have been matching up with official reveals, with both Dragonite and Victreebel being confirmed.

The full list is as follows:

Mega Dragonite [revealed]
Mega Victreebel [revealed]
Mega Clefable
Mega Starmie
Mega Meganium
Mega Feraligatr
Mega Skarmory
Mega Froslass
Mega Emboar
Mega Excadrill
Mega Scrafty
Mega Scolipede
Mega Eelektross
Mega Chandelure
Mega Chesnaught
Mega Delphox
Mega Greninja
Mega Pyroar
Mega Eternal Floette
Mega Malamar
Mega Barbaracle
Mega Dragalge
Mega Hawlucha
Mega Zygarde
Mega Drampa
Mega Falinks

Hawluch is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokemon. It also doesn't have any form or battle gimmick yet. In contrast, Machamp is the final form of Machop and can transform into Gigantamax Machamp. Nevertheless unless officially confirmed, it can be either Mega Hawluch or Mega Machamp.

When will the next Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Evolution be revealed?

The upcoming Pokemon Legends Z-A "Mega Matchup of the millennium" will have a YouTube Premiere at 6 am PT / 9 am ET / 2 pm BST / 6.30 pm IST on August 28, 2025. We expect a new Mega Evolution to be showcased in the clip.
