Mega Victreebel Is Coming To Pokémon Legends Z-A

  <p>Yesterday, The Pokémon Company teased the premiere of some kind of horror-themed video, using the caption "viewer discretion advised." As it aired this morning, we learned that this advisory was, unsurprisingly, a little overkill, as "The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident" showed two trainers exploring a dark mansion in the brand's typical G-rated style. Despite that, the video's ending was quite a surprise, as it revealed Victreebel, one of the original 151 Pokémon, will get a mega evolution in Pokémon Legends Z-A.</p>&nbsp;<p>The video was followed up by a more standard reveal trailer, showcasing the sentient flycatcher bouncing around and chasing smaller monsters around the streets of Lumiose City.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/meet-mega-victreebel-a-newly-discovered-mega-evolved-pokemon-in-pokemon-legends-z-a">A news post on the Pokémon website</a> confirms that Mega Victreebel will keep its Grass/Poison typing, and says that its dizzyingly sweet acid is strong enough to melt through steel. Terrifying!</p>&nbsp;<p>For more Pokémon Legends Z-A,&nbsp;<a href="https://gameinformer.com/gamescom-2025/2025/08/20/pokemon-legends-z-a-could-be-the-best-pokemon-game-in-years">check out our hands-on preview from Gamescom</a>, where senior associate editor Wesley LeBlanc wrote that it could be "the best Pokémon game in years."
