Summary
APokemonfan created a Mega Evolution for the Normal/Flying-type Toucannon and shared the concept online. ThePokemonseries currently has 48 Mega Evolutions, 30 of which were introduced when the mechanic debuted in the Generation 6 entries,Pokemon X and Y, while the rest were added via the 2014 remakes ofPokemon Ruby and Sapphirefor the Nintendo 3DS family of handhelds.
Mega Evolutions are temporary transformations that change a character’s appearance, improve their statistics, and provide them with new skills. Among those who can Mega Evolve are some ofPokemon’s most recognizable monsterslike Lucario, Mewtwo and, Charizard, with the latter two even having two Mega forms each. As Game Freak’s long-running RPG series already has more than 1,000 Pokemon, it should come as no surprise that some fans have come up with custom Mega Evolutions for the monsters that do not officiallly have access to such transformations.
Posting on thePokemonsubreddit, user Just-Drawing-Mons shared their Mega Evolution concept for Toucannon, theregional bird of Alolathat is the final form of Pikipek and Trumbeak. Like the official Mega Evolutions, Just-Drawing-Mons' original Mega Toucannon sports a different appearance than its base design, the most prominent change being the scope-like protrusion on its beak. Some Mega Evolutions also alter a Pokemon’s attributes, but Just-Drawing-Mons did not mention if there were any such changes in their Mega Evolution idea for Toucannon.
Fan-Made Pokemon Mega Evolutions
Just-Drawing-Mons' other original designs include aMega Evolution of Skarmory, a Steel/Flying-type that was added inPokemon’s second generation. Aside from creating custom Mega forms, the Reddit user has also given some characters interesting redesigns. One such work was Just-Drawing-Mons' Fighting-type version of Alakazam, the Pokemon that is considered to be the best Psychic-type among the series' initial 151 monsters.
Mega Evolutions, which also appeared in the spin-offsPokemon GO,Pokemon Masters EX, andPokemon Unite, will make their long-awaited mainline series return inPokemon Legends: Z-A. Set in Lumiose City, an area in the sixth-generation games' Kalos region,Pokemon Legends: Z-Ais scheduled to launch on the Switch in 2025.
SomePokemon that fans want to receive a Mega Evolutionin the series' next major installment are Dragonite, one of the first generation’s strongest non-Legendary monsters; the Generation 6 starters, Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie; as well as Flygon. The latter was actually supposed to receive a Mega form inPokemon X and Y, but thePokemonfranchise’s primary character designer, Ken Sugimori, said the development team was unable to complete the design.
