Pokémon has just announced an all new Mega Pokémon species set to debut in the upcoming Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 game Pokémon Legends Z-A.

In a video debuted today, fans got a first look at Mega Victreebell.

In a spooky trailer, the game's heroes investigate a sweet smell in a creepy building after dark. After various jump scares (Espurr! A Clefairy doll!) we finally see the new Mega species.

Pokémon Legends Z-A features a long-awaited return to the Kalos region, home to the series' popular Mega Evolution mechanic. A previous trailer announced Mega Dragonite.

"Overall, Legends: Z-A didn’t feel like a full action game to me," IGN wrote in our first hands-on impressions of Pokémon Legends Z-A's battle systems, "but kind of more like an MMO, with its casting times, cooldowns, and behind-the-scenes math happening. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I do hope Legends: Z-A gets challenging enough to make me more intentionally dish out commands and think about switching Pokémon at just the right moment."
