Mega Zeraora in Pokémon Legends ZA DLC — Price, Unlocking Challenges, and Mega Evolution Details

The Pokémon fans are going to encounter a new trial as the mythical Pokémon Zeraora, which is one of the most favorite Pokémon of the franchise, is going to be given a new Mega Evolution in the forthcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC.

The new form, which is a combination of fierceness and electrifying blue accents, was shown off in a new trailer, and it was also implied that getting it would not be easy. The official description of the trailer warns the players that

“getting Mega Zeraora for your team will be a little difficult,” and instructs fans to “Keep your eyes peeled for a way to encounter it as you play through the DLC!”

An Expensive Upgrade for Switch 2 Players

Even though there is a great deal of anticipation surrounding Mega Zeraora, the price is bringing concern to some. The gamers will be required to pay an extra $30 for the DLC access, so that will add up to $100 total for the full game plus expansion pack on Switch 2.

The Mega Dimension DLC was initially released along with two new Mega Evolutions for Raichu, and many more are believed to be coming, as Game Freak gradually reveals the new characters in the roster.

Unlocking Mega Zeraora Might Involve Time Gates

Similarly to the main game, which limits access to some of the Mega Evolution species based on players battling online during certain time events, the very way of getting Zeraora Mega is not specified. It might be introduced late in the story of the DLC or could be time gated so that players would have to get involved in the process for a long duration. Game Freak has still not disclosed what method they will be using.

However, it is undeniable that Zeraora’s new form will be immensely powerful, as the official description from Nintendo claims that

“The electric energy it stores in its body is equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. Protrusions on its forehead, chest, back, and the backs of its hands are where the electric energy is particularly concentrated. The protrusions steadily emit a pale blue light. If Zeraora stores up lots of energy and then unleashes attacks, those attacks will pack enough power to take down multiple nearby opponents at once.”

More Mega Evolutions are on the way in the next expansion.

Mega Zeraora becomes one of the Mega evolutions along with Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur, which were both shown in previous trailers. The dataminers who went through the game files and found the data, are positive that the DLC will contain around a dozen more Mega Evolutions. Considering the series, the fans might have to wait a long time for the Mega forms to be fully available to them.

Mega Dimension DLC Launch’s December 10

DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension will be available on 10^th December. It will add more storylines, encounters, and Mega Evolutions to the game. Those who are thinking of taking part in the game can already access starter guides, mission walkthroughs, Pokedex updates, and Clothing Stores lists for Legends: Z-A to help them explore Kanto in style.

Bottom Line

Mega Zeraora’s arrival is a representation of the struggle that is a blessing and a curse of the Modern Pokemon, where its amazing imagination is hidden behind the increasingly difficult systems and growing costs. The fans will chase it, fight for it, plan around it, and surely boast about it, that’s how the magic of the franchise works. But while the DLC ecosystem is becoming more and more intricate, the series walks a very thin line between capturing attention and losing it.

If Mega Zeraora does indeed demand a bit more of the player’s effort to be unlocked, then the challenge is gladly accepted. However, we hope that Game Freak will not forget that difficulty, mystery, and excitement are all positives, but extended grind and unclear access are the opposite.
