ZA makes major changes to large-scale evolution
Blog Andrew Joseph 24 Sep , 2025 0
Mega Evolution made a major comeback in Pokémon Legends: ZA, and as IGN learned in a recent hands-on practice, there is more than one new spin among mechanics over the years: You can trigger giant evolutions multiple times in one battle.
In core Pokémon games, such as introducing Mega Evolution in X and Y, you can only evolve one Pokémon in each battle even if your first Mega Evolution Pokémon faints.
Surprisingly, this wasn't the case in IGN's battle with the legendary Rouge's massively evolved Victreebell: ZA-they were able to vigorously evolve all three Pokémon in their team, as long as they gathered the required giant force.
In Pokémon:za, the giant ring icon in the lower right corner of the screen shows the giant power you currently have. Each attack forms a large force, but you can also collect it by collecting large power balls in the Pokémon battles of Rogue Mega and breaking down certain crystals in the city.
Instead of testing if you can evolve multiple times in the trainer’s battle, we’re telling you that as long as you have the giant stones and giant powers that support it, you’re not limited to one big evolution in each battle. It has also been confirmed that you can evolve in large quantities Same Pokemons can retain large evolutions many times only as long as you have the giant power to maintain it.
