Apparently, over 6 MILLION Shiny Wo-Chien were defeated in the Raid event. So now, Shiny Wo-Chien is available via Mystery Gift over the Internet. No code, just use the "Internet" option to download the shiny snail and a bunch more Tera Shards. It lasts until September 30, but get it now before you forget!

And, don't forget, there's a Chien-Pao Raid going on right now, too. If you had something that worked agaisnt Wo-Chien, chances are it'll also be pretty effective against Chien-Pao. Grass and Ice have a lot of the same weaknesses. These Raids are actually a pretty decent way to grind some Herba Mystica for shiny hunting, if you care about that.

Yeah, it's still far from a "common" drop. But, this is still the boosted rate. It's easier to get in these raids than in "normal" raids. At least, from what I've seen playing online.

Hey hey! I got the shiny Wo-Chein even though I didn't participate in the raids. Which...you know...yay for me. But if I were one of the ones who busted my ass in those raids and then someone like me who hasn't even touched the game in forever just came along and snatched my prize...I might be pissed.

Yeah, I'm kinda getting that feeling with Chein Pao. I'm going in with a lvl. 100 Urshifu with no real prep behind it. 2 raids so far and I haven't died...knock on wood.

Yeah, the 5 Star Raids really aren't that bad. They're doable with a playthrough team, really.

And one of the only reasons I'm encouraging people to actually play through the raids is to make sure we all earn the Shinies. Because, I'm not sure if Gamefreak would be strict enough to not release one of them, if people stopped playing. I'm a little worried about Ting-Lu, since that's probably the least popular one. We probably don't have to worry about that, but still. They could be faking these numbers, and we'd never know. It's in their best interest to make it seem like everyone's still playing these games, just for free marketing.

But, if you just don't have the time or interest to do these, I can't blame you. I'm not sure if I'd call these actually "fun". I'm just doing a few each time, because why not? I'm shiny hunting some of the outbreak spawns anyway, so I just do a few Raids while I got the game open and move on.

Legends Z-A will have multiplayer battles!

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Running around the battlefield with you 'mon collecting powerups is kind of reminding me of the Switch Bakugan game everyone's probably forgotten about. This will probably be better than that turned out, but I'm not sure if it's a good comparison to be thinking about. I really just need to get this in hand to see how it feels.

What's this?! A mystery is afoot!

Yeah, this is just a reveal for Mega Victreebel for Legends Z-A. It's almost disappointing that this isn't for a new game. Or a new Detective Pikachu game. Sorry if I disappointed anyone. I just didn't want to ruin the surprise.

This trailer just kind of makes me want a "horror" game set in the Pokemon world. I think they could actually pull it off.

I do hope we get more trailers like this for the other new Megas. This is kind of a fun surprise. I wasn't expecting a little story, even though they did the same thing with a few new Pokemon for Legends Arceus. They kind of like going to the horror well for the Legends trailers, I guess.

Meet Mega Victreebel, a Newly Discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z‑A

This newly discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon appearing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a body that’s swollen with sweet-smelling acid.

As for Mega Victreebel itself...yeah, this is another more goofy one. Maybe they're getting all the weird ones out of the way first, before they show us any of the "cool" new ones? But, I don't know, this one is just more fat with a leaf-crown. It's fine, I guess. And I suppose Victreebel needed something, so that people would remember that it exists. I don't think this will end up being one of my favorites, but who knows? Maybe it's special ability or range is really good in battle. Maybe it's secretly really broken and fun to use? It's got some charm. I'm not sure if I want it on my Legend Z-A team or anything. But, it's fine.

Over 5 MILLION Chien Pao were defeated in the last Raid event. So, now you can get your shiny kitty over the internet. No code required. Along with even more Tera Shards! Again, it lasts until September 30, but get yours before you forget about it.

And remember, the Ting-Lu Raid is happening now. So, show that Bowl-Moose who's boss!

Entering the ring! A new challenger!
Yeah, I guess this is going to be a thing from now on for probably most of the new Mega Evolutions. We're getting a little animation and a little introduction video. So, we might be getting 24 or so more of these, if the rumors are true.

Mega Hawlucha Enters the Ring in Pokémon Legends: Z‑A

Hawlucha's such a little show off in the animation, it's cute.

Gotta love Machamp getting some buildup and pyrotechnics.

Aww, giving Hawlucha that little head pat was sweet.

Pretty great reveal of the new Mega. I am a sucker for "Whoa"-filled music.

As for Mega Hawlucha itself? I actually really like this one. I know this is probably based on a champtionship luchador outfit. But, it really reminds me of the Green Ranger or the Gold Ranger from Power Rangers. It's the gold mantle. I think this is the first new Mega that I unreservedly just straight-up LIKE. This one just looks GOOD! Even if they did basically just give Hawlucha a new hat.
