On the official game website, Game Freak tries to frame Mega Dragonite as a compassionate critter who loves kindness. It can sense when someone is in danger, and is compelled to save them from danger.

The latest trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A finally showed a new Mega Evolution that’ll be introduced in the upcoming game, and it’s one that fans have been requesting for over a decade. Mega Dragonite has been revealed as the first new Mega Pokemon that’ll be added in Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Another notable Mega Evolution with drastically different shiny colors from its base form is Garchomp, which goes from a barely noticeable shiny color palette to a bright pink and purple color, showing there is precedent for unpopular shinies to get a glow-up when they Mega Evolve.
