Pokémon Legends: Z-A is coming with a slew of new Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and the latest one announced is Mega Hawlucha, a beefed-up version of the Fighting/Flying Pokémon.
Mega Hawlucha’s got even more muscle than regular Hawlucha, and it adds some golden accents. It likes to show it off when it’s not attacking. The Pokémon’s signature move is Flying Press, and it uses momentum from spinning to make its attacks hit harder.
Part of its fighting style also taunts opponents into attacking it, then retaliating by making them flinch before using its signature move.
Its stats are as follows:
- Category: Wrestling Pokémon
- Type: Fighting/Flying
- Height: 3’3″ (1 m)
- Weight: 55.1 lbs. (25 kg)
Pokémon fans can see the transition from Hawlucha to Mega Hawlucha below:
The Pokémon Company also released a fun cinematic of a match between Hawlucha and Machamp, which is also below:
