Officially Confirmed: The Fantastic Five
Mega Raichu X (Electric-Type)
The physical powerhouse variant features two massive tails forming an X-shape behind its body. This form focuses on heavy physical attacks and electric burst damage, making it perfect for sweeping teams with raw power. The design maintains Raichu’s iconic look while adding aggressive bulk.
Mega Raichu Y (Electric-Type)
Built for speed demons, this agility-focused evolution boosts speed and offensive electric moves. The enlarged ears create a Y-silhouette, and early gameplay footage suggests this will be the faster of the two Raichu forms—potentially outspeeding even legendary speedsters.
Mega Chimecho (Psychic/Steel-Type)
Perhaps the most visually stunning reveal. When Chimecho Mega Evolves, six smaller copies appear and flutter endlessly, creating a mesmerizing bell choir effect. The added Steel-typing gives it crucial defensive coverage, while its cries create overlapping echoes that form intense sound-wave attacks.
Mega Baxcalibur (Ice/Dragon-Type)
The pseudo-legendary from Gen 9 gets a jaw-dropping upgrade. Its back blade grows larger and more powerful, with increased ice energy generation making it a dominant force. Available as a reward for progressing in online Ranked Battles, this becomes an immediate competitive staple.
Mega Zeraora (Electric-Type)
The Mythical Electric-type finally gets its moment. With heightened attack speed and electric energy, it can attack multiple opponents simultaneously, making it devastating in both singles and doubles formats. The black-and-blue color scheme mirrors Mega Charizard X’s aesthetic transformation.
The Leaked Roster: 14 More Mega Forms
Dataminers discovered 14 additional unidentified Mega Stones in the game files, suggesting these forms are coming:
Confirmed Via Mega Stone Files:
- Mega Darkrai (Dark-type Mythical)
- Mega Heatran (Fire/Steel legendary)
- Mega Lucario Y (potential second form for Korrina’s ace)
Strong Candidates Based on Patterns:
- Mega Hoopa (Psychic/Ghost – DLC mascot)
- Missing Hoenn Starters: Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, Mega Swampert
- Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Legends: Primal/Mega Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon
- Fan-Favorite Underused Pokemon: Potential surprises like Gen 5-9 representatives
The pattern is clear: Game Freak is mixing Mythical Pokemon, competitive favorites, and underutilized species that desperately need Mega forms to become viable.
Hyperspace Lumiose: Where It All Happens
The DLC’s setting explains everything. Spatial distortions connect to a mysterious dimension known as Hyperspace Lumiose, an alternate monochrome version of the city where Pokemon can exceed Level 100 for the first time in series history.
Meet Ansha, a donut chef whose companion Hoopa awakens its dimension-hopping powers when fed berries baked into donuts. She creates various donut types granting different hyperspace effects—from powering up your Pokemon team to accessing high-level encounters.
Korrina returns as your guide, determined to encounter every Mega-Evolved Pokemon alongside Team MZ as you investigate the distortions threatening Lumiose City.
How to Access New Mega Evolutions
Purchase Requirements:
- Own Pokemon Legends Z-A base game (Switch or Switch 2 edition)
- Buy $29.99 Mega Dimension DLC (includes Holo-X and Holo-Y apparel)
- Complete main story campaign before accessing DLC content
Mega Stone Acquisition: Different stones require different methods. Mega Baxcalibrite comes from Ranked Battle progression, while others will be scattered throughout Hyperspace Lumiose or given through story missions.
Mystery Gift Bonus:
Claim Diancite now through Mystery Gift to unlock an extra side mission titled “Shine Bright like a Gemstone,” allowing you to catch Mega Diancie before the DLC even launches.
Level 100+ Pokemon: Game-Changing Mechanics
For the first time in the series, Pokemon beyond level 100 will appear in Hyperspace Lumiose. This isn’t just a cosmetic change—it fundamentally alters endgame progression and competitive Pokemon training.
Wild encounters at Level 105, 110, or higher will require maximum preparation, perfect teams, and strategic Mega Evolution usage. Ansha’s Hyperspace Berries become essential for powering up your squad against these unprecedented threats.
Community Reactions: Excitement vs. Concerns
The Pokemon community response splits into camps:
The Hype Train:
Players celebrate long-awaited Megas for favorites like Raichu and Chimecho, plus the return of Mythicals like Zeraora. Competitive battlers are already theorycrafting team compositions around the leaked roster.
The Skeptics:
Some question why Chimecho received a Mega instead of a permanent evolution, while others criticize the $29.99 price tag for content announced before the base game launched. The “cut content” debate rages on Reddit and Twitter.
The Verdict:
Despite concerns, pre-orders are strong, and the promise of 19+ new Megas plus dimension-hopping mechanics has most trainers ready to purchase.
What’s Revealed on December 2nd?
The Pokemon Company confirmed more details dropping December 2, 2025—just eight days before launch. Expect:
- Official stat distributions for all new Megas

FAQs
Q: Do I need to complete the main story before playing Mega Dimension DLC?
Yes, the Mega Dimension DLC is post-game content that takes place after Pokemon Legends Z-A’s main storyline concludes. According to The Pokemon Company, you must finish the base game’s campaign before accessing the DLC content, which is estimated to take 1-1.5 hours of gameplay before unlocking. However, you can claim the included Holo-X and Holo-Y apparel items immediately after purchasing.
Q: Can I get Mega Stones for all 19+ leaked forms?
While dataminers found files for 14+ unidentified Mega Stones beyond the five confirmed forms, The Pokemon Company hasn’t verified all of them yet. Some may be placeholder files or content for future updates. The December 2nd reveal should clarify which Mega Evolutions are definitely included in the December 10 launch versus potential post-release additions through events or patches.
